P4-M Will or North core?

[CZroe]

I just read in another post about desktop CPUs in laptops and someone said that the real mobile P4 will be the Williamette P4s, and not the smaller, cheaper, faster, less-heat-producing, more-power-saving Northwood chip. This can't be true can it?! It's INSANE to release another Williamette part when the Northwood's core features are aimed at the mobile market... Isn't it? Also, I heard back when the P4-Northwoods were released that "significantly lower clocked versions would appear in laptops in the first quarter of 2002." Now that sounds right... Right?

The Mobile P4 will be based on the Northwood core, whoever told you otherwise was either confused or smoking crack

Cyber,

The new Celeron is using the old Williamette core with half the cache (128Kb)...perhaps that's what they meant. The new mobile P4 is, of course, a Northwood.

The P4-M is Northwood with 512k of L2 Cache. And KenAF is correct. Intel has plans in their "April Refresh" to launch along with the P4-M, Williamette-128 Celerons, and also 533fsb Northwood's for the Desktop

Thanks for the reassurances! The comment was posted by Golden Member Daovonnaex in THIS thread in which he said (Out of context):

<< The P4-M is a Willamette core, meaning fewer cache, less scalability >>

Thnx!
