Intel Pentium M Centrino

I always knew Centrino is an equivalent processor to Pentium 4s but what I didn't know is it almost performs as fast as a Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz. This post made me look around for performance bench marks between Pentium 4s and Centrinos. Here are some interesting links I found on Centrino Technology. I remember edg showing me the first link some time back though, shame I didn’t take the time to read it then.

This article "Intel's Centrino CPU (Pentium-M): Revolutionizing the Mobile World" by AnandTech.com gives an insight into architecture of Pentium M.

Dothan is the second generation Pentium M processor and this article "Intel's 90nm Pentium M 755: Dothan Investigated" is a good place to start.

Pentium M Review: for some more bench marks.

If you are going to buy a laptop, now you know what to look for. By the way, did I tell you I am a proud owner of an IBM T42p with a Pentium M Dothan 1.8 GHz processor?

Colas and Pests

In India when Pepsi and Coke are recovering from the initial attacks of a claim their products contains levels of pesticide residues far exceeded the maximum residue limit for pesticides in water used as 'food,' set down by the European Economic Commission there are new claims that Indian Farmers are using Colas to tackle pests. Now we know what’s the secret behind the productivity of American farmers, don’t we? :-)
