The fastest new part is a Pentium M 755 2GHz w/ a 100MHz FSB, and 2MB of L2 on die cache. Reviews are starting to tip up as the NDA expires. One is at Tom's."

  1. So, which one is better for gaming? by Tyfud · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The AMD 64's, or this new Pentium M? Or heck, for that matter, what do you guys think is better right now for building a system from scratch, the AMD 2GHz (Albeit more performance per MHZ rating) or the Pentium 4 3+ghz CPU's. How much of a difference is there for high end gaming, and did all the extra MHZ really mean anything on the P4s?
