That's actually an interesting point related to Angel's point about marketing. Wi-Fi isn't actually on the M cpu, it's in the mobo chipset. That's Intel's superior marketing at work. As far as what is superior in the Pentium M, the performance for the heat dissipated is phenomenal. The key in my mind would then be shrinking the die and going VERY low power- trying to put the M in a PDA-sized unit, for instance, and perhaps incorporate more features on the die or in the chipset. The whole strategy would be aimed at the corporate market- simplify the mobo architecture, reduce size - all that means lower costs both in manufacturing and support, which corporations love. Unless they have the killer chip somewhere in the wings, they have surrendered the gaming high-end to AMD and they are not getting it back anytime soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137269 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
