The basic diffreence is that in a mobile processor, they build it so that it uses as little power as possible, so that your battery lasts as long as possible.

There are many ramifications to this, but that's the motivation.

Does Intel have 64 bit processors for laptops?

Yes. The mobile versions of the Pentium Dual-Core, and Core2 Duo support 64-bit operating systems.


What is the difference between an AMD Athlon and an AMD Turion?

AnswerThe primary difference between the Athlon series of processors, and the Turion series of processors (which are based on the Athlons) is that the Turion processors are designed for mobile platforms (like laptops) and consume less energy dissipating between 25 Watts (the MT series) and 35 Watts (the ML) and between 31 and 35 Watts for the TL series.The Athlon processors dissipate on average around twice that much power, although some of the specific Athlon Mobile processors have power dissipation levels similar to the Turions.Both processors come with L2 Caches of 512KB at the lower end up to 1024KB at the higher end, and processing speeds are comparable between the series.


What is the Difference between an Intel Pentium Dual-Core mobile processor and an Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor?

Very little, actually. The Pentium Dual-Core has a smaller L2 cache, making it just slightly slower than a Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed.


What's the difference between a Pentium 4 and a Pentium M and which one is better for a Laptop?

Pentium 4 - Intel's flagship CPU of the time. Sacrificed efficiency in favour of a higher number of clock cycles. Around the 4Ghz mark the design was changed significantly and is now based around the Pentium-M which runs cooler Pentium M - Originally designed for laptop use (Mobile?). A (heavily) modified version of the Pentium 3, optimised for power efficiency. Includes SpeedStep, to slow down the CPU when appropriate to save energy. Some motherboard manufacturers make desktop mobos for use with these chips. Still in development. Very popular Celeron - Any of a large number of budget x86 processors. Typically either a P3 or P4 with a reduced cache to save costs. The newest ones are based on either the P4 or the Pentium-M Centrino - The name for Intel's all-in-one mobile system, typically incorporating a Pentium M, Intel chipset and Intel wifi adapter. Used a lot in laptops due to low heat radiance Pentium M supposedly uses less energy. The M stands for Mobile.
