P4 2.6GHz w/ Hyper-Threading vs. P M 1.5GHz
Hello all,
I'm trying to decide between two laptops. One had a Pentium 4 2.6GHz with Hyper-Threading Technology (and a 15.1 inch screen) and the other has a Pentium M 1.5GHz (and a 15.4 inch wide screen). If I'm trying to compare speed/performance what would the 1.5GHz Pentium M translate into if you were comparing to the equivalent in a Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading? The unit with the 15.4 wide screen and the Pentium M 1.5GHz is a little more expensive so I wanted to see what you guys thought in terms of performance. Thanks in advance... |

Unless it's a 2.66 (and not just a 2.6) GHz P4, it's a desktop processor in
a notebook case. There is a 2.66 GHz mobile P4 that supports hyperthreading, but the 2.6/800 is the only other one close to it that does, and that's a desktop unit. Battery life with a Pentium-M will outpace either the desktop P4 or mobile P4. The Pentium-M also runs cooler. In terms of speed, they should be pretty evenly matched despite the clock speed deficit of the Pentium-M. "newtothis" wrote in message news:UblLb.1094$sv6.2088@attbi_s52...
