P4 vs M

[ChrisB64]

How do the "Mobile Pentium 4" and "Pentium M" compare?
The Mobile P4 seems to come only up to 1.7GHz while the P-M is up to 3.0GHz.
But the Dell Laptops with P4 are more $$ than those with P-M.

Is this like the P4 - AMD comparison (apples and coconuts?). What else should I know about these things...(for the hardware illiterate)

Thanks

Chris

Check out AnandTech's article, Intel's Centrino CPU (Pentium-M): Revolutionizing the Mobile World

And you have it backwards... The Pentium-M does not run as high of a mhz as the P4.
