Pentium-M beats Athlon FX55 for the first time!

[tolstoi]

---

using an adapter to port Pentium-M to a desktop board, this mobile processor beats the current desktop processors (FX55 & Presscott)! :8O:
...and i just found out here that Pentium-M's DOTHAN architecture is a souped-up P3 and was touted to be more superior than P4's :8O: :8O:

Conclusion: The Pentium 4 Must Go (alternatively: Kill The Pentium 4!)

Let us try to sum up the insights we have gained during the course of this little project.

With the help of a simple socket adapter card and a BIOS upgrade, certain mainboards using Intel's 865/875 chipsets can be upgraded to use a Pentium M instead of a Pentium 4. Such a system offers up-to-date performance paired with low power requirements.

Additionally, we were able to raise the FSB from 133 to 160 MHz without any trouble at all. The result was that our 2.13GHz Pentium M 770 ended up running at 2.56 GHz! At this clock speed, our two year old platform was able to beat the processor heavyweights Athlon 64 FX and Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition in all 3D games!

Pentium M is actually favourite among gamers (who know about this)... however... the availability of theses parts... are reallly hard... if only i use it for my Intel 865PERL motherboard

anything can beat the FX55 IF OVERCLOCKED rightly.. just a thought.

[tolstoi]

whats surprising here is that Intel is known for revving its processor to a higher frequency to achieve significant performance as oppose to AMD [P4 3Ghz vs Athlon 1.8 Ghz]...but the Pentium-M that is introduce here only clocks at merely 2.5 Ghz..plus the advantage of a low power/low heat feature of a mobile processor...

now..if only there next generation processors [Pentium 5?] will be designed similar to a dothan architecture, then maybe they can win back the performance crown currently dominated by AMD...just a thought...

ya true true ( oh ya P5 well ,maybe 2007 cuz next year Pentium D 9xxx series is the intel road map plans, i dont c any P5 yet so far)

Actually, tolstoi, the Prescott Core can be roughly referred to as the Pentium 5.

[jordinho]

anything hehehe. pentium 150?

[jamamp;jem]

new Pentium M s479 using 915GM chipset that support 400/533Mhz & up to 4Gb Memory DDR/DDR2. Dothan CPU power consume only 21watts

the way Conroe beats the hell out of FX62 is not really surprising after all..Dothan which Conroe architecture was based, already beats FX55 last year

i wonder why Intel haven't wised up ages ago.

they were stuck with netburst. conroe was developed in 2004.
