Re: Do you have a link that proves that the mobile Pentium 4-M is identical to the Pentium 4?

Identical? No. Much less of a difference than the .18 PIII vs. .18 PIII-M? That was the justification I saw quoted in one of the stories.

So what gives AMD the right to charge more for the Athlon MP over the Athlon XP?

Their less leaky process lets a variable clock save more power.

wbmw, re: "So what gives AMD the right to charge more for the Athlon MP over the Athlon XP?"

Well, the MP have been tested to verify 2P operation and the price premium is a flat $50 over the corresponding XP chip. Most but not all XP will also work. With the MP you also get an unlocked processor and the ceramic rather than organic packaging.
