Ok I'm not up on the technology these days. I have a loptop that supports the Mobile Pentium 4. My aim is to get it ready for dolphin. I know dolphin likes a dual core, so what is the Mobile Pentium 4 ? Here is a blurb about it.
So this line "The mobile microprocessors were based on two Intel Pentium 4 cores" kind dances around the idea its a dual core, anyone know if it is or not? I'm aiming for the "Mobile Intel Pentium 4, 3.06-GHz, 533-MHz" cpu as the laptop should support it. but I need to change to the board and would like a second opinion that its a dual processor.
Mobile Pentium 4 was the last generation of mobile microprocessors with NetBurst microarchitecure. The mobile microprocessors were based on two Intel Pentium 4 cores - Northwood and Prescott. The processors had either 512 KB (Northwood core) or 1 MB (Prescott core) level 2 cache, and 533 MHz Front side Bus. Some Northwood mobile CPUs and all Prescott processors included Hyper-Threading technology. Although these processors had the same power-saving features of Pentium 4-M microprocessors, power consumption of these CPUs was significantly higher than the one of Mobile Pentium 4-M processors. In fact, the power consumption of Prescott-based mobile Pentium 4 was so high, that it hardly could be considered a "mobile" processor.
