There are several
differences between AMD's K6-2 475 and
Intel's Celeron-566, especially if you
are considering a notebook purchase.
First of all, the Celeron-566
is not yet available for notebooks. The fastest mobile Celeron
currently available runs at only 550MHz. Still, this Celeron
is at least 25% faster than the K6-2
at 475MHz.
The rest of the major differences are outlined in the
following table:
You will find that mobile Celeron
notebooks tend to be slightly more expensive than K6-2
notebooks of comparable clock speeds. For general net-surfing and business
applications, the K6-2 475 should be
adequate.
If, however, you plan on higher-end multimedia
requirements (DVD, video and the like), we would recommend bucking up for
something faster. Consider the mobile Celeron
or even a mobile Pentium-III, if it is
within your budget. And as they become more available, you may even
consider notebooks based on AMD's newest K6-2+
and K6-III+ mobile processors.
