Which cpu is faster? John 07-14-07

I have two laptops. One is Toshiba Satellite 1905 s301 with Pentium 4 2.0G
cpu, and the other one is hp pavilion 6108 with T1350 1.86G cpu.

I guess that the T1350 1.86G is a Pentium Mobile cpu. I never know what the
difference between those mobile cpus of Intel.

Then which cpu is faster. 2.0G>1.86G, does this mean that the Pentium 4 is
faster.

But the Toshiba laptop was bought in 2002. If it is faster than a laptop
built in 2006, is it still normal?

The HP is faster, but you could've used a benchmark to find
this out easily enough or a Google search for CPU benchmark
scores.

For a benchmark, you can try SuperPI. Download link is at the top.
Typically, you set it to "1 million digits". My P4 3.2GHz does
1 million digits in 44.1 seconds. The world's record is about 9 seconds.

Since SuperPI uses a chunk of system memory, it tests both CPU
performance and the memory as well. The Pentium Mobile should
have a shorter time in seconds, than the P4.

The P4M CPU was not a particularly good one; reports I read in the past said it
was not as good a performer as the P3M.

OTOH, the Pentium M that succeeded those earlier CPUs are much better
performers. They come in several voltages and varieties, but they share the
same Core architecture as the CoreDuo CPUs.

Then what is a T1350 1.86G cpu?

I am confused. Are there different types of Pentium Mobile CPUs?
Or are they just of different speed?
