Mobile Pentium III 1 GHz coming in April 2001

[bonkers325]

As non-official sources report, Intel is intended to overcome the 1 GHz bar on the mobile CPUs market in April 2001. Actually, there will be two mobile 1 GHz processors Pentium III introduced in April - one with a standard Coppermine core and the other one with a newer Coppermine-T (with lower power consumption). I have no idea as to why such a powerful CPU is needed for notebooks, but the fact is curious anyway.

once it is combined with the Nvidia Geforce Go chip, laptops will be gaming monsters

but those lcd laptop displays will still prove to be a limitation.....have anyone ever played on those things??? the image tend to "smeer" when objects are moving. but it's just one of the characteristics of lcd displays. what can i say?

but what i want to know is: why would anyone buy a laptop, especially with a geforce2go in it, to play games? if you wanna play game, spend that kind of money on a tower and you got yourself a top of the line pc, considering how expensive 1ghz or even lower clocked laptops are. and who wants to play game son a 14" screen when you can do it on a 19"? not to mention short battery life when on the go. but you can also use the ac plug, but since you're doing this, wouldn't you rather use a tower instead? you be the judge.
