Which CPU is better

[Cheapest]

Can some one give me a list of CPU from best to worst? Because I like to buy one but does not know if I got the same prize with different CPU! 🙂


Athlon 64
Intel Centrino Mobile Petium M
Turion 64
Mobile celoron M
...


???

Pentium M or Turion 64.

 

[imported_michaelpatrick33]

Turion == Intel Centrino Pentium M Dothan core (more or less) The Turion does have SSE3 (for what's thats worth) 64bit (for what's worth if you use 32bit XP and integrated memory controller) and the Pentium M may have slightly longer batterylife (and newer models use DDR2 for less wattage usage.
Mobile celeron M (due mainly to battery life) ==Mobile AMD Sempron (performance)
Athlon 64 DTR == Pentium IV DTR (each has some advantage and disadvantages.

Overall, if I were getting a new notebook I would look at the Turion first (or wait for the mobile dualcores about to roll out 🙁)) then the Intel Centrino Pentium M.

Same, but I'd look at Pentium M first, because of the better battry life.

So is the Petium M is a 64 bits CPU same as Athlon 64 but with longer battery lift. For beyond window XP or future Window OS 64 bits is the way to go? Other like celeron M only has 32 bits CPU may be slower for future Window OS?

Pentium M

Go Pentium M. The battery life is a bit higher, and they're more mainstream, so you'll have more options to choose from.

Celeron-M does not have speedstep technology. They use quite a bit more power at idle because of this, but less power at load. Overall, it'd probably fare worse on battery life.

Turion systems are usually MUCH cheaper for the same amount of stuff. Sometimes $200 cheaper. Better battery life just aint worth that $200. But if battery life is essential to you, then by all means go for the Pentium M.

Where do you get $200 cheaper?

From what I've seen they're about the same price for the approrpiate chips. However, if you get a Dell Hot Deal, then the Pentium-M is far cheaper.

Well, I got my sons Compaq 2410US Turion64, 80 gig HD, 512 meg ram, DVD dual-layer burner for $750 AR. The cheapest Pentium M I could find was $950 AR at the time. I say Turion, unless battery is that important. Some tests say the battery life is close, others say Pentium M is better. I really don't know for sure, but that wasn't the biggest thing for us, price was.

Where you got that price, I want to get it? I went to Fry's with the two system and they were almost the same price?

Pentium-M (centrino).

Lol, no one believes in that site anymore. Even that article has several errors and lies in it. Bringing Tom's Hardware Guide in here is asking for an ass whooping lol.

Please point out the errors and lies as you say. They're freakin' benchmarks. If there's any bias in their methodology, let us know.

Or, is this just an opinion you copied from someone else?

If Anand doesn't want any THG links on his forum he should make his own CPU charts.

Pentium M only has longer battery life if you use the CPU at 100% all of the time , in normal use the turion ML will have longer battery life, and the Turion MT will haver longer battery life than similar performance Pentium M in any situation. Forgot about the Laptop Logic article?
Turion MT CPUs have a max TDP of 25W, Pentium M 760 has a 27W TDP , but this is the TDP at 75% of load so 0.25*27=6.75 max TDP of PM=27+6.75=33.75W. The Pentium M consumes at least 34Wmax, the Turion MT 25W max, also the turion chipsets consumes less because some there is no memory controller in it, it is inside the CPU, so PM + chipsets consumes more than Turion MT + chipset, there is no reason for the battery to last more with the Pentium M.
