What is the 1.7m equivelant to?

What Pentium M or Pentium speed is the 1.7m cpu equivalent to? 2.4? 2.6? I have a Pentium M 2.4 right now and I want to know if theres any major speed difference that is worth upgradign to the sony A series, or shall I just want itout for something better?

 

Well, here is a couple of Sisoftware Sandra Benchmarks with the 735 P-M 1.7GHZ Dothan in a VGN-A190 vs P4 2.8/2.66/2.4GHZ processors(while 66 processes were running) LOL!

Hope this helps!

 

Yeah...thats what I meant, a P4 M 2.4. Thanks for correcting me and answering my ?.

 

hi jimeeboy51, I think you mean that you have a 2.4 pentium 4 right now as the fastest pentium M out is the 2.0GHz. The 2.1GHz is going to be out very soon though. The pentium M 1.7GHz is between the speed of the 2.6GHz and 2.8GHz Pentium 4.

Can somebody explain that chart to me? Red is the Dothan or is it Blue?

Its a bit confusing for me. I've never done or read benchmark tests. So compared to my Pentium 4 M 2.4ghz, its even or its much faster?

 

On those Benchmarks, my processor(735 Pentium M 1.7GHZ Dothan) is the top set of two color bars(orange and green). Second set of two color bars(red and blue) are for the Pentium 4-B 2.8GHZ, third set of two color bars(also red and blue) are for the Pentium 4-B 2.66GHZ, fourth set of two color bars (also red and blue) are for the Pentium 4-B 2.4GHZ. The top color bars on each set is the Dhrystone ALU Benchmark http://www.pcwebopedia.com/TERM/D/Dhrystone.html , Second color bar in each respective set is the Whetstone FPU Benchmark http://www.pcwebopedia.com/TERM/F/FPU.html and the iSSE2 Benchmark (no idea what iSSE2 is). All color bars have raw numbers associated with each Benchmark, you can use these numbers to compare against each processor.

As for the 66 processes I have running... don't ask! LOL![ ]

Hope this helps!

Ahhh..it all makes cents now. Thanks Dadkins.

So its only a tiny bit better in the Arithmetic Benchmark and somewhat better in the Multimedia Benchmark.

I guess I'll save my $500 (trade in difference to get the A190) for something later down the line. Thanks for all the help everyone!
