2.2Ghz mobile 4m or 1.3 m centrino?

[mboy]

Which is he better processor? The 2.2GHz mobile 4m or the 1.4 m in the centrino?
Thanks.

i have a 1.4 ghz centrino and it is FAST

i hear it's equivalent in speed to about a 2.2 ghz 4m processor...

centrino has a 1 meg L2 cache so yeah....

you also get longer battery life with the centrino (almost 4 hours+ as compared to 1.5-2 hours with the p4m)

Centrino rocks. I wish there was a way to get them to work in a desktop.

The Centrino is better...

Oldfart - their is always this. I hope more come out as I have a 1.4M sitting in front of me and no way of using it.

Thank you. Centrino it is.

I would not necessarily want a "Centrino" because the wireless aspect is not necessary for me, and Intel onboard graphics dont do it for me. But 1.4 m is nicer...

You can always use the Radeon 9200 mobility It's sooooooooooo fast!!

Actually, it is the Compaq x1010us with the ATI mobil 9200

Owner of my co is getting it as we speak

Yeah my friend just bought 3 laptops, returned 2. The last 2 he bought were compaq's and they were P4-M and centrino 1.4, respectively. He's keeping the centrino based laptop because it's significantly faster (according to him) than the P4-M laptop that is clocked at 2.4 GHz.

My intention with that statement was not to say that Intel onboard graphics are the only choice out there, because I am well aware of the various other mobile graphics solutions. My point was to emphasize on the fact that going with quote unquote Centrino moniker only means that I have purchased a product that fit the marketing scheme of "Centrino", being that I bought a product that had Onboard Intel Chipset, Onboard Intel Graphics, and Onboard Intel Wireless...Thereby making it possible for the company selling said product to brand it "Centrino". I like the 1.4m processor, I would just prefer to not go with the entire (or partial) Intel Marketing scheme... Don't get me wrong, I love Intel processors, just not their wireless or onboard graphics portions...

I just wiped XP home off of the x1010us and set it up with pro and let me tell u that this is one PHAAAAAAT laptop -)

I think I remember seeing a benchmark at Dell's webpage that shows the 1.6 centrino being as fast as a 2.4ghz p4-m, and wingznut I think recently stated in a thread the new 1.8-2.0ghz gotham (something like that) will be like equivalent to a 3ghz processor...

Sounds like Intel doesn't need stupid misleading pr rating to sell chips!!!!
