Celeron vs Pentium 4-M

[drag]

I just purchased a used Gateway laptop.


It uses a pentium4-m chipset. I assumed that the pentium 4-m vs celeron follows the same trend in celeron vs P4. Meaning that a p4-M would also be much faster then a celeron.

How does that CPU compare to celerons of the same speed put out in budget laptops by Dell and the like.

Are those the same celeron that are sold for PCs?

How does the power consumption compare?

The Celeron is intended for the barebones basement entry laptops. The one in my Dell 1100 is a desktop variety which draw a lot of power. That said, I can go 3.5 hours on a single battery, since Dell includes an absolutely gargantuan battery. Performance is great for a 600 dollar machine!
The P4 will definitely be faster though, AFAIK.

yeah, the p4 would be faster because the celeron at most has 256k cache, whereas the p4 has 512k.

The desktop Celerons have 128kb of cache, where the mobile ones have 256kb. The mobile Celerons should perform very similarly to a Willamette core P4 (400MHz bus, 256kb L2 cache if I remember correctly).

p4 will perform alot nicer then the celery

celeron lacks performance in graphics and gaming where p4 would handle it fine. its a processor in entry level computers as mentioned above.

hehe, my desktop has that. 1.33 ghz is good.

Yeah, my lowly Celery 2.4 Ghz (😉)actually is pretty snappy.
