Pentium 3s

Is Pentium M different from Centrino Mobile technology?

I have seen Centrino sticker on some laptops and Pentium M stickers (IBM) on some. If same why are they called so?

  1. M is the mobile version of the Pentium. Centrino is built in wifi functionality.
  2. He's right Centrino is a Pentium-M combined with a WiFi chip but a Pentium M with WiFi is not the same thing. Centrino is a whole chipset to deliver better battery life while using WiFi. Confusing isn't it. And that is what exactly Intel wanted. Centrino produces about 20% longer battery life than similarly equipped WiFi Pentium-M laptops.
