celeron vs pentium m?

[martyp]

Hi all,
This has no doubt been asked loads of times but I really can't work out a conclusion on it as such...

In my laptop I swapped my Celeron 1.4 512k cache for a Celeron 1.5 1MB cache. I haven't noticed any real difference as yet although my fan seems to be working harder than before...(it starts really running at high speed just doing basic things like viewing a website)

I've now got a Pentium M 1.5 1MB cache and wondered how that would compare to the Celeron I have in there now. I know speedstep probably won't be supported but would there be any performance improvement as some people have said there would, others said there wouldn't...

Also, aside from the speedstep changes, do Pentium Ms run cooler than Celerons?

Would I benefit from performance or temperature doing the swap?

Would do the laptop a world of diffrence going to the Pentium M, I belive they should run cooler or the same as the Celeron, I would go for it.

Brilliant, many thanks for the quick response. Just what I wanted to know, thank you.

No problem I can remember doing this a few years ago with a Amilo laptop that had a 1.4GHz Celeron M in it, changed it to a Dothan 1.7GHz Pentium M and the difference was unbelievable, I mean I could multitask The Celeron chips are dire get a Pentium M in there

I think performance between the 1.5 Celeron 1mb and 1.5 Pentium M 1mb would be just about the same tbh, apart from the Pentium M having a bit better life due to the enhanced sleep state etc.. The 1mb Celeron is a Dothan (with the Pentium M variant having 2mb) while the 1mb Pentium M is an older Banias (with the Celeron variant having 512k ) i believe? Essentially the same cpu with a different name? Wonder about theheat output though under load as Banias is .13 while the dothan is .09 so in theory would be cooler than the pentium M.
