Hey everyone,
I have the choice to get an alienware or acer laptop, which means I have to choose between either the Pentium M 780 (2.26Ghz, 533FSB) or the Core Duo T2500 (2.0Ghz, 667FSB). Overall:
1. Which one is going to perform single tasks faster (ie: photo rendering, gaming)?
2. And what are their equivalents on a Pentium 4 scale?

Thanks!
 
the Core Duo would be my choice, not that the P-M machine isn't quite good. They don't really have a P4 equivalent, they use a completely different architecture.
 
Well I just thought that people can estimate a P4 equivalent from benchmarks or something. I know that the Core Duo T2500 does 20 million Pi digits in 1min14secs and a P4 3.3Ghz does it in 1min58sec. So it has to be at least faster than that, right?
 
The problem is there are many different variations of P4s that can be made to run at 3.3GHz. I'd probably put the P-M (in a comparable system, ie not a laptop) somewhere between the 650/550 and the 660/560. The core duo would be at least a step or two higher.
