The new Intel Pentium M features an incredible amount of power with very little power consumption. Perfect for people on the go, this processor is more than capable of running todays most demanding applications. Don't let the speed fool you, this processor has 1 megabyte of cache and the performance beats all of the old Intel Pentium 4 Mobile Processors. *If you take the processor speed and multiply it by 1.9 you'll get a similar speed equivelant to the desktop Pentium 4 Processors in similar laptop configurations - according to our benchmark tests.

I'm confused myself then. I could have sworn the Centrino is a new processor based off of PIII technology with 1MB of cache. Is the centrino just a chipset combination thing (new chipset + new CPU) or is it a new CPU by itself? I know I'm not the only one that thinks is a just a new CPU, everything else I've read from other people has said the same
