Mobile Faster than 3.6ghz

[freddiepm61]

Why Should Intel be happy about this?
Ok it shows that their mobile chip is great, but also that their 3.6ghz runs too hot, and not very well???

In the demonstration, the performance of a Sonoma system with a 2.13-GHz Pentium M processor, 1GB of memory, and the Alviso chip set was said to be comparable to that of a desktop system carrying a 3.6-GHz Pentium 4 processor with hyperthreading, 1GB of memory, and the Grantsdale chip set (which also supports PCI Express and DDR2). Intel had previously compared the high end of its notebook technology to the midrange of its desktop technology.

because intel wants to evantually turn the Pentium M into a desktop processor.

plus, as you quoted correctly, they say it's "comparable", not faster... hopefully they will release a lineup of M-based desktop processors anyways, i always liked the AMDish (more IPCs) approach more anyways

I think Apple has had that approach longer than AMD.

true, but they exaggerated and came along with 1GHz computers in the age of 3Ghz machines - and the most IPC in universe

...naaahh, ok, i'll give you that
