Pentium-M 733 ULV performance?

Thats the problem. I dont have a notebook yet. But i want to buy one and now i have to decide between a normal Pentium-M and the ulv version. A friend of mine who is a hardware freak said that the Pentium-M processors loose more power the lower the frequence gets. So the power is not linear. And it would be fine to see a benchmark or something like that before. Or if you can say that the ulv 1.1 is like a pentium 4 2.2.

The 2X is a general performance comparison between the 2 CPU families. If "close in performance" is not exact enough for you, then a benchmark must be found or done.

It rarely is the bottomline issue since some want to play games and the CPU is not the issue but the display chipset.

Hope it helps.

I found someone who bought a notebook with this cpu. He said he'll do a bench for me.

I know that this CPU is not for gaming, but it would ne fine to run compile a kernel faster than on a 1GHz Normal-Pentium system.

Thanks so fare.

It's more than 2 to 4 times what a XBOX has. And my kid's 1.0GHz Athlon was great at games with a nice 3D card. The CPU was not the bottleneck there.

-> Compile time will be hampered not by this CPU but the hard disk speed. Here's an example.

My old p3-600 would boot Windows 2000 in over 4 minutes. I did all I know and couldn't break the 4 minute mark. I looked over the machine and replaced the hard disk with a nice 5400 RPM disk and the boot time dropped to under 2 minutes. It wasn't a CPU or RAM issue.
