Intel Mobile Processors

Hello All,

I'm looking at purchasing a new notebook computer and need some advice /
information on the various Intel processor types. I want to get a high end
processor as I run 3D solid modeling CAD programs. When I look at the Intel
site they show their P4 mobile processor at 2.GHz and their Centrino mobile
processor at 1.GHz and the Centrino is getting better benchmarks. I guess
that I could understand this is the Centrino is a newer technology, like
comparing a PIII to a P4 of the same speeds.

Can any one explain the differences in the two processors.

Thanks
Brian

Currently there are 5 different Intel processors used in notebooks:
