The microprocessor is the engine that 'computes' everything. It's mostly rated in mHz speed, - and that's like how fast your car engine is going. But another factor is design. Intel designs and manufactures it's idea of a microprocessor, while AMD does the same.\n\nSo, both manufacturers could have the same 3.0 mhz microprocessor, and the AMD internal design has faster results, becuase of it's internal design.\n\nA few other concepts, besides raw mHz of the microprocessor is chipset, FSB, video, Harddisk, memory type / qty., and a few others.

I know for a fact that AMD is much better than Intel! AMD's processors run a lot faster and cooler. A cooler running processor is important. Not only does it mean that AMD processors have a faster clock speed than comparable Intel products but AMDs also have a longer life expectancy as well. Plus AMD costs quite a bit less than their Intel counterparts. \nAMD is also ahead on the technology curve as well. They were the first company to introduce the 64-bit PC processor many months ahead of Intel’s 64-bit processor.  This is why I believe that AMD will possibly out live Intel.\nI've had both brands and nobody can even come close AMD’s speed and power! I am running a newer AMD Sempron 3000+ with 512 MB of memory and Windows 2000 Professional SP4 for my operating system and this combination works great.\nFrom now on AMD, is the only processor for me. This is just my honest opinion. And no, I do not work for or get any gratuity from AMD for saying this.

No such thing as Pentium (R). You must be thinking of Pentium M, which is a low-power variant of Pentium 4. \n\nA 1.6 GHz Pentium M is about a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4. So Pentium 4 3.8 Ghz will be quite a bit faster than 1.73 GHz Pentium M.

that's the test report Pentium Extreme Edition 955 versus Athlon 64 FX-60\nThe conclusion in one phrase: the test results make it clear, however, that Intel probably won't be able to catch up with AMD using processors based on the Netburst microarchitecture.\n\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2006q1/fx60-vs-955xe/index.x?pg=1

Sempron is Amd's budget priced processor. It is'nt a dual core.

I highly doubt you can do that your self (no offense), its hard to do on laptops, however on desktops its cake (I've done it so many times)\nSince I weeded out doing a do-it-yourself upgrade, then that leaves you to upgrading through the manufacture, which i think would cost more then upgrading it in the first place. \n\nAlso I think i know where you are going with this. There not a huge difference in mobile processors. The Intel Pentium M Processor 1.7 GHz is essentially the same as a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz. So I wouldn’t worry so much about upgrading, but of course it would be a waste either.

I am currently putting my new system together.  I settled on the AMD64 X2 because I could take advantage of a dual core processor ( I use linux exlusively). I haven't looked at the pentium D so I could not comment or make a comparison.  I have built a few AMD's and a few pentium 4's .  I find the AMD 64's  more responsive and a better bang for the buck.

Pentium Xeon is mainly for servers and costs a lot, some use it for 3D rendering. Pentium M uses centrino mobile technology mainly in laptops. The best Pentium Processor is the Intel® Pentium® processor Extreme Edition 955, having two cores @ 3.46Ghz. But the high price of over $1000 scares a lot of customers.\n\nTomshardware Guide compares all kinds of CPUs, here's a link to one of their charts where they list the CPUs according to performance: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

AMD Processors and Intel Pentium 4's are two popular processors. They are different in internal structure but both function under Windows.\n\nHow are they different?\n\nAMD has shorter pipelines than Intel. In short, this gives a minimal advantage to repetitive tasks, which gives Intel chips a small advantage. But, most tasks like gaming or other processor intensive tasks are not predictive and change frequently. This gives AMD a huge advantage for gaming. Some $300 AMD's outperform $1000 Intels.\n\nAlso, AMD's are generally better bang to the buck (value), which makes them more attractive.\n\nIn short? Either will run Windows, and either processor should serve you well for internet browsing, email and word processing. But if you are a power user or a gamer, AMD is the way to go.

I always tell people to stay away from celeron processors.  Sure they're cheaper, but you get what you pay for.  A laptop with a pentium M processor is probably going to be smaller than one with an AMD.  AMD processors run a little hotter, so they require more space, but they are also slightly faster.  What I would go for though is the new Intel Core Duo processor.  It has two processing cores on one chip so it's a lot faster.  I think Dell just released an inspiron with one in it.  Apple's got them in a laptop as well.  I'm sure there are also many other companies that are going to have them in their machines as well.  But if you have to chose between the three you listed above, go with pentium or amd.  You really wont notice much of a difference between the two.  Just stay away from celeron.

Pentium M is the Intel microprocessor for Mobile devices like laptops.  It is newer and better than the Mobile Pentium series of Intel.\n\nCentrino is not a microprocessor.  Rather, it is a 'bundle' of 3 Intel features:  the Pentium M Porcessor, Intel PRO Wireless and the 855 chipset.  These 3 have to be included for it to be called CENTRINO.     \n\nBasically, if you're laptop is Centrino, it has many of the basic features needed today (wi-fi connection etc) so you don't have to worry about missing out on features.  But if you're an expert on laptops, you can go for a Pentium M and customize other features for a better performance

You're buying a loptop, so power use will be important to you. Batteries life is terrible with high power components, including the CPU. \n\n=======\npower\n\nAnd that's the first distinction. The Pentium M was designed for minimum power consumption in a Pentium compatible CPU. So your batteries will last longer. \n\nThe Duo Core CPUs are really two CPU cores in one chip. IF the operating system, and application design (which you can't affect) support them properly, such a CPU can be much faster than a single CPU, all other things being equal. But the Duo Core chips use more power, so your battery life will suffer, all other things being equal. This may be worth it, if you are doing computationally intensive stuff, and if your software / operating system can take advantage of the additional CPU. Otherwise, it will make little difference. \n\n========\ngraphics performance\n\nOne computationally intensive use that's common is gaming. it takes a good deal of effort to calculate color brightness and shading for each pixel in a scene, and there are lots of scenes. In fact, it takes so much computational power that vendors have largely given up on making the CPU 9or CPUs) do it all. Recent graphics schemes, the ones that make game images snap and sparkle, during play require a lot of work from some processing chip. The best of the graphics processor chips have more computational power than nearly all CPUs, and they require comparable electrical power (draining batteries still more quickly). It's this reason that accounts for laptops rarely having cutting age graphics performance or CPU speeds. In particular, the graphics hardware in most laptops has low power needs and is hardly up to recent graphics performance standards. \n\n==============\nCPU architecture differences\n\nAnother issue, which will matter only if your use of the laptop needs it, is differences between various Pentium editions. Intel has added more instructions, and used different internal architectures, as they have designed new CPUs. These include new instructions (the SSE, SSE2, etc groups) and the 64 bit EM64T additions to the basic 32-bit core, in emulation of AMD's Opteron and AthlonFX approaches. But for the moment, until your applications can use those extensions, and until your operating system is fully 64-bit compatible, your EM64T CPU will be running mostly in 32-bit mode. And recent Pentium 4 CPUs have included something called Hyperthreading which speeds up some kinds of programs substantially. And, of course, various Intel CPUs have included more or less fast cache on the CPU chip itself. If this is done sensibly, cache (and more cache) can have dramatic effects on many kinds of program execution speeds.\n\nDepending on detailed comparisons between the CPUs you're considering, some (or none) of these differences between CPUs might be significant to you. See Intel's spec sheets for the CPUs you're looking at for the differences. \n\n\n\nIn your case, since you aren't a gamer, the merely adequate graphics hardware in most laptops will probably be acceptable. Your mention of graphics programming might mean image manipulation, and either CPU should do in that case. Photoshop and similar programs don't have to handle graphic manipulations in real time, and so their demands are much less for satisfactory performance than video (or near video -- such as games) processing. \n\nWord processing simply doesn't have so high requirements. After all, any CPU sits doing nothing for eternities between key presses, even for fast typists. There's lots of available cycles from most any CPU in most any word processing operation. \n\nSo, for you, which would be better? mostly, it depends on the work you'll be doing and the applications with which you'll be doing it. If they can take advantage of the processor features in one or another CPU (not something you can easily find out, probably even from the software de

As a rule, never go for a Celeron.\nThe diference is in the arhitecture of the PC itself.\nFor example the Pentium has a 1mb level 2 cache. The Celeron has half of that. This translates in slower speeds at processing flow. \nIf you want the best for your laptop go for the full featured mid-range processor either from AMD or Pentium.\n\nSempron from AMD comes in the same way, with less multimedia instructions and much less cache memory.\n\nI still won't recomend Pentium 4 based laptops because of heat generated by these processor. In laptops this translates in increased speeds from the cooler and faster battery outage. Hold out until the Core 2 Duo laptops jump on the wagon, if they haven't already or move to the AMD based laptops which will give you better performance than Pentium 4.\nWith longer battery life too!

Pentium M is for Mobile gadgets, it's intended for laptops notebooks, etc. Never use it for a desktop computer. Or if you want to make a light traffic print server, Celeron would make a nicer deal, M is way too powerful and way too expensive for things like that.

There is a big difference in the architecture of both CPUs. An AMD CPU has an integrated memory controller. This serves as a link between the CPU and the memory (RAM). Intel CPUs do not have this, so it relies on another chip to serve as the link with the memory. This saves up space on the CPU, so Intel decided to increase the cache size on their CPUs.\nMore details.\nBecause AMD has the integrated mem controller, it performs faster than an Intel CPU with same clock speed. You have to know that it is not the CPU clock speed that matters, but the FSB clock speed. So if you need a 'fast computer' you need a lot of memory (RAM) and a high FSB.

As far as performance goes an Athlon XP 2400+ is equivalent to a Pentium 4 2.4GHz processor, hence the 2400+ designation.  However, Athlon processors have a tendancy to be faster by peforming more work per clock cycle than a Pentium 4 at the same level.\n\nSee benchmarks at Tomshardware, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html to give you a feel where modern AMD processors stand as the 2400+ is no longer made.
