Low Voltage Mobile AMD Athlon™ XP-M 2200+

I don't know much about AMD. What would this be comparable with as far as Intel is concerned?

I just bought a Compaq laptop with an AMD mobile XP-M 3000+ and so far it is great. It gets hot but I rarely place it on my lap. The processor will slow itself down to conserve battery. Most of the time, with Winamp running, it will sit at around 383 MHz. I haven't figured how to turn of the power saving feature yet.
Just recently I have made the switch from Intel to AMD and I haven't been happier! Just so I don't burn up the CPU's, they run very well and I have been able to splurge on other parts without spending to much on just the processor.

Thanx ziz. I've been reading a bunch of good stuff about the xp-m mobile processors. Any idea what speed the 2200+ is equivalent to in pentium speeds?

Generally the numbers roughly compare, at least for the non-M processors, meaning that would be about a 2.2. The Ms could be different though--I know the Pentium Ms are much faster: a 1.5 is about as fast as a vanilla 2.4.

I just installed a program that will eliminate the processor throttling. My max speed on my 3000+ is 1595MHz. My girlfriend just bought an HP with a P4 running at 3GHz and they seem to be about the same as far as speed goes. I will have to run a bench test to see which one is faster.

You should run all sorts of benchmarks to see what the deal is. 3dMark 2001, 2003, PC Mark 2004, SiSoft Sandra 2004. Make sure for those gaming-based tests, you're using the same hardware and software outside of CPU; GPU, RAM, HDD. That's the only way to really judge and make for sure that you're getting a real comparison.

I am typing this on a 1.5 Pentium M. Ya know what? The sucker runs HOT. It isn't anything to load a page on the tittie board and have my temp hit 60+.. Sure I use less battery, but burn your nads in the process?

The good news is, I get 2.5+ hours of battery life playing games on this. Nothing super intense, but a CD based game spins a ton. Actually got through a movie that was almost 2 hours long. Full charge, fire up the movie.
