Steve, Re: "Well, for a 50% increase in processor speed, I'd say getting only a 15% performance increase for more of your money still sucks." It's one of the reasons why I believe that there should be a better indicator of performance besides megahertz. On the other hand, 10-15% performance is more than Intel could do by increasing the frequency of the Pentium III-M. They probably would have needed a 1.33GHz or 1.4GHz Pentium III-M to get the same performance, and I don't think those are binning out too well for the lower voltage mobile market. Therefore, why not just launch Pentium 4-M? wbmw

Steve, <Well, for a 50% increase in processor speed, I'd say getting only a 15% performance increase for more of your money still sucks.> Can you show me a comparable "QuantiSpeed" laptop? Didn't think so. Tenchusatsu
