   Which processor is better?
  Tell me if I have this right. For a faster overall performance, the Centrino is better than the Pentium 4 even though it has a slower clock cycle. However, if you need more processing power for the latest games or something, then the Pentium 4 is better, right?  
  The Centrino is a mobile CPU. It''s for laptops, and if you want an Intel laptop, you should probably go for the Centrino. If you want a desktop, you won''t be able to use a Centrino.   "Sneftel is correct, if rather vulgar." --Flarelocke ;  Well, I know that. I''m just a little confused about which is faster at what things. ;  Clock for clock, the Centrino is better. Its FPU performance isn''t as good as its ALU performance, but both are still better than the P4-mobile.   "Sneftel is correct, if rather vulgar." --Flarelocke ;  The new Prescotts use some of the Centrino''s features and bumped instructions from 20 to 31.They are labeled the P4 E''s .. ie 2.8E, etc instead of the 2.8C''s now B-)
