Intel's defective "speedstep" has never worked properly, leaving its duped buyers with 1.2ghz P4 machines that substantially underperform their claimed capability So wrong - so often. PCWorld's test of a mobile Pentium 4 1.7 GHz outperforms a 1.2 GHz Mobile Athlon (200 MHz faster than your machine) notebook - and has longer battery life (the Pentium 4M) as well. pcworld.com

<font color=purple>Performance Tests: Notebooks June 30, 2002 By Joel Santo Domingo Just because they say something is faster doesn't mean it always is. During our tests, the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M, at 1.6 to 1.8 GHz, did not always garner as much performance on Business Winstone 2001 as the 1.2-GHz PIII-M. The P4-M's deeper pipeline leads to an increased latency as disparate tasks are flushed out of the pipeline. In particular, the Dell Latitude C610, with its 1.2-GHz PIII-M processor, beat its mainstream notebook rivals, including the 1.7-GHz P4-M–based HP Omnibook vt6200 and Toshiba Tecra 9100, on Business Winstone pcmag.com
