If Centrinos are to Celerons what Neutrinos are to Neutrons, I am semi-reliably informed the former travel almost at the speed of light, whereas your common or garden neutron, like a pet tortoise, tends to stay where you last put it.
Does this help?
Is the new mobile chip hobbled?

Anyone else?

I thought it was funny.
I wouldn't call it "hobbled". It's simply designed from the ground up for mobile use. Sure, it won't be as fast as a desktop CPU but I think the goal of the redesign was to provide laptop users with as much power as possible without sucking batteries dry. Previously, laptop implementations of the desktop CPU's only had a handful of tricks they could perform when trying to save on power. The Centrino is supposedly much more sophisticated.
Joel Moore quipped:
from what i understand the "centrino" is actually a combo Intel mobile CPU-WiFi and something else (the CPU is just part of the package).
i believe the new mobile P4 is much faster than the previous mobile cpu.
so I THINK a centrino system would be fine.
assuming i'm not getting my terms mixed up. :-P
