Desktop Replacement Power, Complete with Model Numbers

First its desktop Pentium 4 and then its slimline-notebook Pentium M processor moved from 0.13-micron to 90-nanometer process technology, and now Intel's Mobile Pentium 4 for full-sized, desktop-replacement laptops has joined the party. The chipmaker is also continuing its switch from straight clock-speed listings to relative-performance model numbers for both the three new Mobile Pentium 4s and one new Celeron M processor.

The Mobile Pentium 4 models 518 (2.8GHz), 532 (3.06GHz), and 538 (3.2GHz) feature a bigger 1MB Level 2 cache, 13 new Streaming SIMD 3 multimedia extensions, and enhancements to Intel's NetBurst microarchitecture, as well as a 533MHz front-side bus and the company's Hyper-Threading multitasking technology. In 1,000-unit OEM quantities, they're priced at $202, $234, and $294, respectively.
