You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

I read this article on-line, I don't remember exaclty where, but it said that most mobile and desktop mobos don't have heat sensors on them. And that the temperature the program reports is just a manufacturer estimate at that processor load. This may be true, cause i remember on my old desktop i used this program called Everest Home Edition for like hardware and benchmarks and it also has temp meter. I remember searching my mobo and my cpu+fan for thermal sensor but I didn't find anything. I think that the temperatures prom MobileMeter are mostly the manufacture's estimate of the temperatre at that load of the CPU or HDD.

on mobilemeters site it is clearly stated that it DOES NOT take the temp. from BIOS. it gets it from Windows. And since laptop mobos dont have heat sensors i seriously doubt that the temp is corect.

"The problem I believe Intel is facing with its 90-nm process is higher leakage currents," Kevin Krewell, principal analyst for In-Stat/MDR, told internetnews.com. "This will increase power consumption and it is especially a problem when the processor is in sleep mode. Intel has likely been working on changes to the design to mitigate the problem. Dothan would not be very useful if it offered shorter battery life and lower clock frequencies. Originally, may of us expected Dothan to offer significantly higher clock frequencies, but now my expectation is for much more modest or no increase in clock frequency. So I don't expect Dothan to offer breakaway performance, but rather a smooth increment."

humph....interesting article....but

The second-generation is expected to feature a 400 MHz front side bus and 2MB of L2 cache.

expected......me thinks this article was written BEFORE the dothan was released.

humph, the word believe really makes me think otherwise of what this guy knows. Also, notice the date......May 3, 2004. Please post a link to an up-to-date article plz.
