Re: Here's some nifty new 2 GHz and 1.9 Ghz Mobile Pentium 4 CPUs No thanks, my 1ghz Athlon4 with PowerNow automatically adjusts its voltage and clock speed while on battery, several times per second, so that it conserves power yet still runs my software at full speed. Intel's defective "speedstep" has never worked properly, leaving its duped buyers with 1.2ghz P4 machines that substantially underperform their claimed capability in real world use. Unless the so-called 2ghz part is any different from the other mobile P4s, it runs at 1.2ghz, which means that so called 2ghz P4-M would be hard pressed to keep up with a 900mhz Athlon4 when both are used in notebooks.

Monica, Re: "New Pentium 4-M breaks 2GHz barrier" What happened to the 1900+ Thoroughbred that was supposed to be launched this quarter, according to AMD's previous roadmap? home.attbi.com I did see a mobile Athlon XP based notebook from Sony in the CompUSA flyer this Sunday, but it only runs at 1.3GHz (1500+). It appears that Thoroughbred missed its mark by about 300MHz, or 400+ modelhurts. Now, Intel is not only beating them in megahertz, but vastly in overall performance as well. And this is in contrast to AMD's previous mobile plans, which made it sound like they'd easily take the market from Intel in 2002. It's amazing what happens when hype meets reality. That sound you hear is the collective <sigh> from AMD investors around the world. wbmw
