Pentium M 780

This review was planned to be a comparison of Intel’s Pentium 4 and Pentium M architectures. To meet this goal we took senior CPU models from both families. The fastest in the Pentium M series is the Pentium M 770 model with a default clock rate of 2.13GHz. But we learned that Intel was going to announce an even faster CPU in this series, with a rating of 780. We were lucky to get a sample of the Pentium M 780 and so we performed our tests on this processor.

  

Since the Pentium M 780 is a not-yet-announced product, here’s some info on it: the Pentium M 780 is based on the Dothan core with 2MB of L2 cache and 2.26GHz frequency. The CPU has a 533MHz FSB and a standard voltage of 1.372V at the default frequency. The thermal design power of the Pentium M 780 is the same as its predecessors have, i.e. 27 watts.

The Pentium M has a peculiar appearance: Intel’s mobile processors don’t have a heat-spreading cover that protects the die from damage. Mobile CPUs are seldom installed by the end-user, so this cover is not really necessary here.

The diagnostic utility CPU-Z doesn’t yet know about this processor and sticks a wrong rating on it.

But the rest of the information on the screenshots is perfectly true.
