pentium m or pentium 4

Am looking to buy myself a laptop computer. How do these two
processors compare? For normal use basically, internet, music, digital
photos, burning cd's, watching movies and downloading files from the
internet. Battery life isn't that important, but don't want the
machine to make too much noise. How does a p4 2 ghz compare to a pm
1.4 ghz in general use and multitasking applications?

a 1.4 pentium M OUTPERFORMS a 2.4 Pentium 4... don't be fooled by the Ghz
rating... in fact, Intel is finally moving away from it because it's faulty
advertising.. the Pentium-M runs a HECK of a lot cooler (it was designed
ground-up to be a notebook processor), it will give you MUCH longer battery
life (5 hours compared to 2.5). If you're doing processor-intensive
things, the fan on the Pentium 4 will be on fairly often. I have a
Pentium-M based laptop and I haven't heard the fan come on once!

Doubt it. As I understand it, a 1.4GHZ Pentium M is equivalent to
about a 1.8GHZ-2GHZ Pentium 4, but it really depends on the
application.

Depends on the laptop design.

Maybe it's broken? 🙂

Hi,
M for me.
Don't even need to think.

Hi,
So battery is all used up running fan.
Bummer!

P4 is history. Intel stoped the further development beyond the Presot
The Prescot remains the last P4 fail construction.

For my own applications, my own content management system
written in Perk, a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M outperforms a 3.06 GHz P4 HT

Look at the benchmarks
