The new Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 processor-M delivers outstanding performance for business and consumer laptops, enabling a richer Internet experience, faster digital media, increasing business productivity and new applications such as wireless gaming. "Systems based on the new 2 GHz Mobile Pentium 4 processor-M provide businesses and consumers with the horse power to tackle the most demanding compute, communications, digital and multimedia applications," said Anand Chandrasekher, vice president, Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "It took the industry 11 years to reach 1 GHz in mobile computing. We've doubled that frequency to 2 GHz in only 15 months."
