Does a desktop processor use more power than a laptop processor of the same speed?
Laptop processors are designed to use less power and create less heat than desktop processors.
Does a desktop processor use more or less power th an a laptop processor of the same?
If the same processor is installed on both a laptop and a desktop, then the each of the processors will use the same amount of power. But, usually, in computer companies don't put more powerful desktop processors into their laptops, they usually use a less powerful processor, which would less power than the average desktop processor.
Does a desktop browser use more or less power than a laptop processor of the same speed?
Laptop processors are designed to use less power and create less heat than desktop processors laptop processors are used less power.
Does the laptop processor generate more heat than a desktop processor?
Generally, a laptop processor should NEVER generate more heat than a desktop processor. That is because a laptop processor uses less power, hence the heat generated would be lesser.
Does a desktop processor use more or less power than a laptop processor or the same speed?
A desktop processor usually uses more power than an equivalent laptop processor. Usually manufacturers make processors specifically for laptops and these processors are optimized to reduce their power consumption and heat output.
Does laptop processor generate more or less heat than a desktop processor?
Current model laptops run their processors at slower, lower heat speeds when they are not being used heavily. Fire up a copy of your favorite graphics-intensive video game and your laptop will burn electricity and generate heat as fast as a desktop system .
How do you find out what pin set a Pentium 4 Laptop processors is and can it be used in a desktop?
I'm not sure what the pinout is, but you cannot use a laptop processor in a desktop application. Most laptop processors are designed to consume less voltage and produce less heat than there desktop cousins. Only very high-end laptops use desktop processors in them, such as www.alienware.com
Which uses more power a desktop or laptop of the same processor speed?
The desktop would, I would think, as it is bigger and has more space for that kind of power. This is correct but not for that reason (desktops are mostly empty space). Laptops are designed to use low power and be portable so they uses more expensive parts that use less power.
What is Intel Pentium m processor?
The Intel Pentium M is a type of processor that is used in laptops. The M stands for mobile and the Pentium M is designed to use less power and generate less heat than a processor used in a desktop.
Does a desktop processor use more or less power than a laptop processor of the same speed?
the design of the processor controls the true power usage. However, keep in mind that laptops use a stepdown method of reducing power consumption on battary mode (Option to adjust is almost always in the bios settings) if you are curious about speed, a Desktop processor versus a laptop processor in perfromance usually fails to match true clock speeds because of heat issues. Example, a Celeron 1.2ghz, will out perfrom a couterpart P4 1.2 in laptops because it uses less power and produces less heat. REF: toshiba A10 Celeron versus Dell P4 latitude , At first the Dell would be faster on boot, but under load (Heavy gaming) the dell would slow down, and the toshiba would keep about the same framrate (In Iraq, 2003 Outside temp 135 F)
Which computer would you choose laptop are desktop?
laptop because it uses less energy.
What are the disadvantages to a laptop?
Well for one you have to worry about battery life. Second, it is usually less powerful than a desktop. Screen is smaller. And if you had a laptop and a desktop that had the same specs, the laptop would cost more.
