Speeds of pentium M (2 posts)

Hi I got a laptop back in April with an intel Pentium M 760 CPU.

People have told me that when running at its full 2GHz that it performs greater than a P4 of comparable speed, similar to how AMD of same clock speeds run faster than intel due to more computations per cycle.

I would like to know since most system requirements for games still measure with the MHz/GHz standards.

So far I've ran into one such instant, where a game requiring 1.5GHz would not allow me to install without disabling speedstepping as I it only registered a speed of 320MHz from my CPU.

Thanks

Yes, 2 GHz Pentium Ms and AMD CPUs are about as fast as a 3 GHz Pentium 4.
