Centrino question
Hi guys,
I need a new laptop and I actually don't really know what a centrino processor is. I know is designed for laptops, but that's all. When looking around for a laptop, I always notice that laptops with a centrino processor that are about the same price as ones without one (with a normal one, that is) have a lot less Mhz. Why is that? Why is the price still about the same. I've seen this with a 2.8 normal one and a 1.5 Ghz centrino. Were about the same price... Is centrino faster or what? Do I have to scale up the 1.5 GHz to compare it to other processors? thanks, The_Unforgiven |

I've found something. Dunno if it's right, but it may help some..
"Double the centrino clock speed, take off 0.2 = comparable P4 processor performance, info from Intel. So (1.6 x 2) - 0.2 = 3Ghz" |
