intel pentium

witch would be faster, an intel pentium M processor or an intel pentium 4 processor at both the same speed?

 

[johnb35]

Pentium M is strictly for laptops where Pentium 4 can be used for both. Shouldn't be any difference as long as FSB, speed, and cache is the same.

At the same clockspeed a pentium M would kill a P4.

At the same clockspeed a pentium M would kill a P4.

yup. i would estimate a 2/3 ratio, a 2ghz pM would be comparable to a 3ghz p4. don't hold me to that though.

 

[codeman0013]

i would say a pentium m would be much faster then a p4 if its similar in all aspects

supposed to be the same as a p4 3.4 but they perform differently at different tasks. i have a PM 2.0 in my lappy and i love it

I would think that say a 2.8 P4 would crush a 2.8 PM. The Pentium 4 is a desktop processor with no limit on power consumption, the Pentium M has limited power consumption considering its a mobile processor.

if a PM ran at 2.8Ghz then it looking at the others, it would absolutely kill it. a PM 2.0 would beat a 2.8 P4 at most tasks

For one thing, the PM uses an 11-stage pipeline, compared to the 31 stages on a P4 Prescott. Think of it as a heavily modified Tulatin. Direct comparisons are only relevant for CPUs with the same architecture.

Yes, the PM will easily outperform the P4 clock for clock.

WOW

The Pentium M is what the Core processors are based off of. A Pentium M 2.8Ghz will easily outperform a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz at anything (if they made a 2.8Ghz PM).
