Celeron Ms are pretty speedy. Here is a pic on a Celeron M 1.5ghz laptop beating an Athlon XP 2600+ barton core desktop. Laptop is a Gateway 4012gz.

The Celeron M is a pentium M with half the l2 cache and speedstep disabled.

Intel actually manufactures the celeron M with the full 1mb cache but disables half of it.
 
i don't know about that benchmark... i mean the p4 3.0 scores how much more than the 2600+, that seems odd to me. Put an athlon 64 or something in there. Not many people buy the Athlon XP anymore...
 
Ok. Just benched my athlon 64 with all stock speeds. I got 7784

I've just bought a Mobile XP2500!! Mine you its only a stop gap as I have a Epia VIA 5000 setup for my server which Im trying to use for normal, everyday use!! Its not ideal, but Im just waiting on a ABIT NF7-S Rev 2 to come through my door!!

No point in placing any great emphasis on a single benchmark.
Most do not correspond well to reality.

But, Celeron M is a good CPU. Excellent choice for a cheap 32-bit laptop.
From what I gather, the Celeron Ms are production Pentium M items, that fail to run on low power.

The reason for the crippling of the cache, is not known to me. It could be a marketing move to protect Pentium M, or a way to also utilize Pentium Ms with a flawed cache, or reducing power consumption.

 
Cool, thanks!
Just downloaded and ran tests on this AMD machine, equiped with a $60 AMD XP-M 2400+ CPU (at 2200MHz), and it scored 6830.

So AMD mobile XP 2400+ (not A64) beats the fastest stock Intel CPU listed.
Pretty crappy benchmark if you ask me.

Yes an athlon XP running at 2.2ghz will beat a stock pentium 4 3.0ghz hence the 3200+ rating for a 2.2ghz athlon.....there are three reasons you are confused....
Either you forgot you are running it at 2.2ghz, you dont know much about CPUs, or you are just a benchmark noob....I think its a combination of all three.
 
Why does it seem odd quizzelsnatch? You believe an athlon xp 2600 and a pentium 4 3.0ghz are similar in performance????
 
I think he ameans that the XPs are usually rated higher than what they can compete with on the Pentium 4 line. A XP 3200+ is not really as fast as a P4 3.2 Ghz. Of course, the opposite is true of the A64s...

Me too. I just built a system with a XP-M 2400 and Shuttle AN35N-Ultra board. Sure, I would love to get a 64-bit CPU, but it would be almost twice as much. Plus, I wanted to get some OCing experience. My XP-M and Shuttle overclocks beautifully.

Download the benchmark and you can see all the descriptions you want. Common sense....
 
Even my 1.3 GHz Pentium-M is only about 10-20 slower than my 2.8C Pentium-4, for C/C++ compilation and encoding under MPlayer. That make it about as fast as the 2500+ Barton I had. Compression under bzip sucks, about half as fast as the P4, but that was to be expected. Didn't measure much else yet.

Pentium-M positively rocks if you don't move too much data around.

robstv makes good point...you can't compare performance between platforms on only one benchmark. some benchmarks favour the athlon architecture, some favor the p4 architecture.
