Centrino is a combination of the CPU and chipset. Pentium M is just the CPU.

I'm quite glad that Pentium is dead, and good riddance. It should have been dead after the Pentium Pro or MMX. The only reason it exists in the first place is because the US Patent Office told them they couldn't copyright "586"

With the latest TV spot saying that the Intel chip was trapped doing simple menial tasks inside a PC, and it finds a new home inside a Mac, and to "imagine the possibilities", my first reaction was "Good.  Stay there.  Don't come back."  I almost found the statements offensive, but that's because I'm a PC user.  I'm not against Macs in any way, they have thier purposes and thier places, but hey, if PC's are dumb boxes that do menial tasks, let AMD take over the PC world.  I'm sure we'll do fine without you, Intel. 

Of course, it's only a commercial..  la la la....

That ad is Apple's doing, not Intel's.  Intel issued a statement that they would never describe any of their customers that way.

Well, good thing they covered thier asses over it.  I'd think they'd review the ad with Intel before regurgitating it out in the public though.  I guess they can do what they want though if they own certain rights to the chip in question.

im glad i made the switch to amd. im really impressed with the performance increase over my last computer, which had a"faster" cpu (200mhz faster clock). at first i was skeptical that it would be faster, but it was and im impressed. so i dont give a crap that intel is dying. i kinda found their new dual core ads amusing. probibly still cant outperforme my amd 64 3500+

Apple owns no rights to the Yonah core, so they were just full of bull****, as Apple often is, and I wouldn't put it above them to show the ad without showing it to Intel. Intel may have a deal with Apple now, but most of their money is still going to come from the PC market. As for Apple, I'm assuming we all know about their faked benchmarks of years past?
