It has a slower clock speed, but more work per cycle a la AMD, giving a cooler chip that uses less power and does the same amount of work. My 1.6GHz Pentium-M compiles a kernel a few seconds faster than my desktop 2400+. Intel's reliance on the Megehertz myth the past few yeares to try and best AMD has cost them with the Pentium-M IMO. > The centrino seem to be the slower one than the other two. > > Do not mind price .. hardware .. trying to find what would be best in long > run between the 3 processors. > In a laptop, the Pentium-M IMHO. > Kindly some pointers and suggestions to IBM laptops .. please. > I like the T series the best.
