Intel = better than transmeta. But it's nice to know there's some competition for the big guns out there. Especially a company that was just a start-up a few years ago.
And in my benchmarks on my Inspiron 8600 lappy, my 1.7 pent-m (part of the centrino package) wastes my 2.53 P4 in my desktop machine. It benches closer to a 3 ghz P4.
And for the record... You can go here for the definition of Centrino.

Someone... Can't remember who... in a previous thread was telling me that the Centrino is the CPU name and Pentium-M was the "package" with the intel wi-fi and such. It's just the opposite. Intel kinda screwed up with the whole Pentium-M cpu moniker as it really doesn't share the P4 core nearly enough for it to be so closely associated with the P4. They should probably call it a pentium 5 or even have associated the Centrino name with the chip as everyone else is doing anyway. :)
