1.6ghz centrino = 3ghz pentium?

[Ronin]

Sadly, that laptoplogic review is just about the only thing to go on right now heh.

Hence the reason why we wrote it

No such thing as a Centrino Processor! This is a type of Chipset or platform, not a Processor. Centrino just refers to a lower power laptop with a wireless ready device. It probably is just a Pentium M Processor.

First you have to find out what kind of processor you have.

This is an interesting website once you figure out what you have:

Toms Hardware CPU Comparison

Sorry no Pentium M on the comparison becasue it is a Laptop CPU

Here is a better comparison Chart:

Pentium M Desktop Article

This article is a very interesting read it compares the characteristics of Pentium M to a P4 and also to Athlon 64

When the CT-479 first came out, there was a slew of benchmarks that compared a Dothan@stock, Dothan@200FSB to P4-EE, P4's, and Athlon-FX's. The dothan did extremely well:

Anandtech Stock 2.13Ghz/133FSB:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2382&p=3 (like 10 pages)

Anandtech Overclocked to 2.56GHz/160FSB:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2382&p=10 (4 pages or so)

French Site x86-secret.com (A-FX@2.8Ghz vs P4-EE@4.1Ghz vs Dothan@2.77Ghz/185FSB)

X-Bit Labs (2.26Ghz/533FSB Default):

No one was saying Dothans are bad, just that Turions are just as good .

thoughts on what the dual core pentium-m 1.6ghz coming out in january will be equivalent to?

a64 x2 __00hz?

Way too early to tell. All we know are tidbits, unless someone spills the NDA.

But since Pentium-M's aren't so FSB dependant, compared to Pentium-4's, I'm guessing it should scale fairly nice, similar to the A64.

Overclock the Pentium-M to 2.4+ Ghz at 200+ FSB and it will really fly.

Yup, i got a 1.6 on a P4P800-E deluxe with a ct-479 and it runs 2.7ghz al day long with a temp of 40degrees load. (Stock cooling) That is a fsb of 225 btw.
