Will there be a faster processor?

Thread Starter 
Will Intel be releasing anything faster than the 780 at 2.26 Ghz?
I have the 2.13 and going to a 2.5 or something higher might be worth it but the 2.26 is not worth the cost for me to upgrade.

As far as I know, 2.13 is pretty much fast enough for anything you'd want to do. Upgrading is just way too expensive to be worth it anyway.

Well upgrading RIGHT NOW probably is too expensive for the minimal gain. I'm sure down the road then the upgrade is warranted there will be something available that offers a more significant upgrade.

I think the next upgrade for the Pentium M will be a 667MHz bus chip (I think), meaning that (I think) it wouldn't be compatible with the 915 chipset that 9300\XPS-Gen2\XPS-M170 owners have .

you could just pinmod your cpu...
They dont make 1.6ghz 533fsb cpus, so yours is a 400fsb. My friend got the same laptop as you earlier this week and pinmoded it as well.

The laptop's speed would not be increased with a new CPU anyway, unless all you do is encode MP3s or videos. The hard drive is by far the slowest component in notebooks. It drags down system speed in so many ways. You'd also gain a lot more from faster video.

Nah, the CPU does drag the laptop down in games too. CS:S and 50 players does cap it big time. However, the only real way to get some really good power is to pin mod to 2.4GHz+. 2.13 is already pretty fast, 2.26 would make very little difference.

Hopefully we will see dual core mobile chips from Intel early next year some time. Dual cores will provide a huge benefit to the Pentium M style architecture because it struggles somewhat in multitasking and i have a habit of running multiple applications alot of the time. It will also provide for some large gains in encodeing and other applications which are multithreaded.

That would be cool if they made some dual core mobile chips. Do you think that they will be compatable with our xps gen 2's?
