What is the diference between Intel Duo, Pentium M or G4?

Question

And which is better? Serious answers only thank you

Answer 1

hey.
intel duo (my laptop) is a processor that has 2 cores. instead of hyperthreading it separates the cache and core (very fast) and is a lower power chip w/stepping = cooler and longer battery life.
pentium m is the mobile version, older than the duo, supports the stepping (stepping is the processor speed slows down when it is not needed to preserver power and reduce heat) (my last laptop had one), long battery life, pretty fast. the g4 is a mac and i do not know much about them, sorry. the duo laptop probably has DDR2 and supports dual-channel memory (check), this is a large speed increase in memory latency and processor response (can access the data faster). anyhoot - my laptop is a whitebox (built myself) with an intel core duo, 2-512Mb 666DDR2, 80Gb SATA HDD, XPpro - and it is super fast!!! about 3.5-4.5hours battery life. i played some intensive games on it with no lag at all. duo is more expensive and faster but if you need something that will work and have good battery life and still be pretty good on the games the mobile(M) will be fine. all and all if you are just going to do word processing and internet - save your money, get an intel M and make sure it has at least 512Mb of RAM (256 + Windows XP is slow on any platform).
hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Hmm, I've been out of the IT field for a few years, and some advances have been made... to the best of my knowledge, the Duo has a dual core, allowing more instructions to be completed (that means faster games, etc), but to only answer these three questions, I feel, would be incomplete. Intel's biggest break through in technology was (in my humble opinion), the Pentium III chip, but as time went on, they became stuck... they changed the design a bit and called it the P4 chip, and although the processor speed (rate at wich electricity goes through the chip) rapidly increased, the processing power of the chip did not necessarily increase accordingly; ergo, a 3Ghz P4 is NOT three times faster than a P3 at 1Ghz... confusing? Yes, exactly why Intel's competitor, AMD began naming their chips, according to how fast they processed information, rather than the electricity going through the micro circuits... my last AMD Athlon was called the 1800+, but only ran at 1.53Ghz, but it's processing power was comperable to that of a P4 at 1.8Ghz (1800Mhz), get it? The dou has a dual core, allowing for the supposed doubling of the processor power, and internal memory. I am (as of this writing) unsure of the actual processing power of this chip, in accordance to its processing speed... The M series was designed to use lower voltage, with the same power output, and is put in laptops, while the standard cpu's go into desktop units... you may ask; 'if they take less power, and have the same processing capability, why can't I put an M chip in my desktop to save electricity'? Well, you can't! The desktop takes more power; the speakers are bigger, the hard drives are larger (not storage speed, size and power input), the screens are larger... it takes more (and always will) to run a desktop system, and the chip must be able to fit compatibly with the power needs of the system board.

The G4 is not an Intel or AMD designed chip. This system refers to the higher end computers made by Apple Computer Co. I believe the G4 utilizes the Motorola CPU. The G4 is a fast computer, with a different architecture than the IBM clones (amd and intel), but is not nearly as great as the commercials make them out do be... they are comparing a $400 PC to a $3000 Mac, which is hardly fair! I paid $3600 for my Dell Dimension, in 1999, and the P3 still kicked but on P4's right through to last year!

Answer 3

Basically the Intel duo is a PC with multiple processor's that can do many application at the same time and the Pentium M is the next Pentium (after P4). The G4 is a high end Mac sort of like a P4 is for the PC. I hope this helps!

Answer 4

Apples have limited software, parts are almost nonexsistant. PC the parts are a dime a dozen, software is limitless. Linux has more out there for it than Mac.
in short apples are 4 pies

Answer 5

G4 i believe is a McIntosh computer, (someone correct me if i am wrong), i am not sure about the other two...

Answer 6

The most notable difference is SPEED.
