Any idea how long before we see 2Ghz laptops?

Does anyone know how long before there will be laptops for sale with 2GHz or faster processors? I am thinking maybe a year and a little bit.

Look's like the fourth quarter of 02' or the first quarter of 03'. Even with the .13um shrink, the P4 consumes 30watts of power. That's a good deal more in the mobile market where the PIII and Athlon run around 22 and 25watts respectively. The P4 also puts out more heat and will require an additional fan. Here's a good article on the upcoming mobile P4's.

What is Banias? It is listed for 2003. What about athlon will they be releasing 2GHz processors around the same time that intel does?

The way I see it, it should be soon right after they released the 1.8 and maybe 1.9 Ghz mobile Pentiums!

IMO it doesn't matter... the CPU probably isn't the limiting factor in most
apps you'd run on a laptop.
