quick processor question

my current processor is the

"Mobile AMD Turion 64 ML-36, 2000 MHz" I think it is single core

How much better is the base processor of the $1499 processor referring to the alienware m15x
If it is like a 1.6-2.0 core duo is that better than a single fore 2ghz?

 

Yes much better.

 

so the base processor of the $1499 m15x will be a lot better than mine?

 

also, my current laptop has two 512 mb DDR2-667 (333 MHz)
is that slow?
the alienware comes with twice that speed is that a lot better?

your talking about a amd mobile proccesor that was never good to begin with. just for your information a 1.6 ghz core 2 duo= a 3.0 pentium 4 which is probally way better than turion. i got to say this was way worse than your " can the base m15x run san andreas" question.

 

lol

Trav - I'm pretty sure the base m15x is clearly an upgrade in every respect versus your existing laptop...

I have a Turion ML-44 2.44Ghz processor in my 9700...I don't find it that bad as far as single-core processors go...I don't think my P4 (2.8) desktop performs as well as it does....but the 2.16 T7400 I have in my 9750 blows the socks off the AMD quite handily...I honestly think getting the 2.0Ghz processor is good bang for your buck, the 1.66 is defnitely faster

 

oops...hit send before I finished typing....

the 1.66 Dual core is definitely faster than your AMD, but nothing radical.

 

omg... I think my one year old laptop has a three year old processor...

 

Wow! What a thread. To OP what do you mean the RAM is twice as fast? The 667Mhz you have is almost the max for most notebooks, and there is no RAM for any notebook that will run twice as fast. Your CPU? Yea the base 1.6Ghz will give you an overall better (faster) experience. But if it is a single threaded application the CPU you have could be a little faster. And to Alienware/user completely "fanboy" comments. To OP do not buy the Alienawre you mentioned it is so far behind the times! But a good bit of advice do not buy Alienware they are very very overpriced! Unless you really like the way they look. For the money they charge you can get better for less.

 

Maybe I'm missing something...what "fanboy" comments? That the m15x is faster than a single core Turion on a budget Compaq? That's as obvious as saying the sky is blue.

 

P4 is better than a Turion? He is arrogant and incorrect. I know C2D are beater than Turions but come on they don't suck and my 1.6Ghz kicks a 3Ghz P4 just like they do! Pipelines? Branch predictions Intel went over the top to the point of not being efficient! To criticize an AMD vs a P4? I get offended sorry.

 

A single-core old generation 2.0 GHz Turion would probably be slower than a 3.0 desktop P4.

 

I am bored so, which version? All 12 or whatever? In all honesty I have no idea how many, but saying P4 is meaningless as that they had so many with substantially different performance. I don't want to overtake this thread and I might be incorrect but I said what I said and my words stand up. So I would rather drop because late. Tomorrow sure go at it. But Turion was never good to start with Blah blah, why you ever jumped in? Not looking up benchmarks at this time of night. Oh and I just read a couple days ago the Turion SC beat the P D. So you are wrong on your facts! Will come at you tomorrow!

 

My response was at XX:36 PM, edited at XX:38, and yours was XX:46. What happened?

 

Dah! Yea! Two single core CPU's one is 50% faster in clocks than the other. Ok is about as profound as saying a full grown man can beat up a child! Insightful! Do you have a point?

 

Well, that's what was claimed, which is, I guess, an unfair comparison, but still true nonetheless.

I'm just saying, you went down a little hard on what you perceived to be fanboyism. All Alienware/User said was that a Core 2 Duo and that P4 was better than the Turion - absolutely true statements, not fanboyism. If you refer above, I already said that this thread was stupidly blatant.

 

I concede I misread and if had comprehended at first I would not of said what I did. Because I admit I was wrong except the fact that what was said "never any good" is I don't know? Maybe like saying the PIII was never good! I mean right now PIII is junk but you mix opinion and twist knowledge and warp history? You get disagreements. I still stand buy the FB thing. We are side pointing each other but I have softened a little.
