Talk:List of Intel Pentium M processors

NX Bit

I have a Dothan Pentium M 715 and in the DEP tab in Windows XP it states that the processor does not support hardware DEP. So i am going to add it to the list of ones that don't support it as long as no one objects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.81.137.234 (talk) 02:27, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Dothan 710 existence

Does the Dothan 710 really exist? First thing is, that the part number is not known at Intels processor finder. Second is, that i've bought a laptop with an Pentium M 710 (which should have 1.4GHz), but there is an 738LV inside, which has the same 1.4GHz, but a lower power TDP. Different CPU tools recognize it as SL7F3 (=738LV).

I have the same opinion. Maybe the 738LV was sold for OEMs as 710 for marketing reasons. But it was never sold directly to consumers. I am going to delete the 710 entry in the list.

Socket 478 Dothans?

Socket 479 Processors do have only 478 Pins and according to the Intel Spec Finder there are no Socket 478 Pentium M, but the Wikipedia list shows several of them. What is correct? Spec finder lists them as Micro-FCPGA (what should be Socket 478) Expl.: http://processorfinder.intel.com/Details.aspx?ProcFam=0&sSpec=SL7EM&OrdCode= ver este reportage es muy completo. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/271/1

Or in English:

[Socket 479]

Socket 479, also called mPGA479M, was introduced in 2001 as a socket for mobile Pentium III-M microprocessors, and, eventually, for mobile Celeron processors with Coppermine-T and Tualatin cores. The Pentium III-M CPUs were manufactured 478-pin package, but the socket itself had 479 pin holes, which made it easier for Intel to re-use the socket for other generations of microprocessors. Over the course of the next 5 years Intel introduced two other generations of mobile microprocessors that utilized the same socket, but were not compatible with each other or with Pentium III-M motherboards. Even more, socket 478 (Pentium 4 and mobile Pentium 4) and socket P (Core 2 Duo Mobile) processors could physically fit into socket 479, but were not electrically compatible with it. All these different families were manufactured in three different types of 478-pin package. The packages differed between themselves only by location of one pin, and, having one extra pin hole, it was sufficient for the socket to accommodate all three 478-pin package types. Below is the table that summarizes all families that can fit into the socket mPGA479M, but are not electrically compatible with each other

BalusC site offline

Unfortunately, BalusC has taken his site offline (what a huge loss for the internet!) and it won't be online for some time as far as I know. His site currently only displays a 'bye' message because he's emigrating from the Netherlands to Curaçao. I guess all articles mentioning his site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=balusc) should be updated??

I have added this message ONLY to the top 3 results RobIII 00:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

There is still CPU world and intel, although for these processors Intel's site seems not to mention the later/fastest steppings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.198.0 (talk) 16:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Dothan socket info correction

Based to Intel specifications (which are rather misleading, however) as well as after reading of the discussion here (including the documents posted therein), other articles on Wikipedia as well as doing some Google-based research I'm pretty sure the most correct socket for Pentium M is Socket 479. At least, if we keep the `Socket xxx' nomenclature, because the Intel seems to prefer completely different names – their CPU specs like to say PGA478 or PPGA478 instead.

Therefore, I changed the Dothan's socket info accordingly. Now it is the same as for the Banias, including the wikilinks. --JITR (talk) 21:10, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
