the Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 processor.
Intel(R) does not compare the Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processors to the Pentium(R)
4 processors because they are designed to meet the needs of different market
segments and have different features and capabilities.
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor, a new microprocessor designed from the ground
up for mobility, with a mobile-optimized chipset, and an integrated Wireless LAN
solution. Intel(R) mobile processor innovative design techniques allow faster
execution of instructions at lower power. You can find information about this
