Notebook=Desktop equivalent processors

Please don't misinterpret me. It's not that I don't believe this. Actually, I'm also just curious as to the equivalent desktop processors of notebook cores. Any external references or links to this information? I'm trying to google about it but still unsuccessful.

 

One site will be helpful for reference, please go there to take a look.

thanks for the link. It's informative.
I guess the info there are based on actual benchmarks....
But according to the webpage, the last time it was updated was 02/02/2005. Any new references? Thanks for all the information provided.

 

that is good to know, but I was able to actually achieve what seems to be 3.6 Ghz while using a T2300

 

Raw clockspeeds are pretty much meaningless, especially comparing CPUs with wildly differing designs (even if both are x86).

The major problem with the Pentium 4 ("netburst") architecture was it was designed with clockspeeds of up to 10GHz in mind. Unfortunately, the design reached it's thermal limits just as it was hitting it's straps at around 3.2GHz. As such, it was soundly beaten in most applications by the Athlon XP/64 (at a lower clock speed) which relied on increased parellelism to perform more work per clock cycle.

From an architectural standpoint, the Core Duo shares more in common with the Pentium 3 than the Pentium 4... which is why the first P4s were very poor performers compared to similarly clocked P3s.

I'm going to assume that page at systemshootouts.org has been updated since February 2005, otherwise he got his hands on the Core Duo about 12 months before anyone else did...
