asked on

Is Centrino 1.5Ghz = Pentium IV 3 Ghz

While purchasing laptop, a company told me that

Centrino 1.5Ghz = Pentium IV 3 Ghz

likewise

Centrino 1.6Ghz = Pentium IV 3.2 Ghz

They say "Intel Centrino Processor is equal to "Double" the speed in comparison to P4 eg. Centrino 1.3 is similar to P4 2.6"

How far is it correct.

Who's they?  Centrinos are a little more advanced than an equivalent P4 at that speed, but DOUBLE?  No way.  See:

leew is right

http://www.cpuscorecard.com/cpuprices/note_ipm-1500.htm   right above the "eBay" logo there is a little box that says "pop up window to compare" open that and have a look.
sorry says "pop up a cpu scorecard to compare"
