Linux and the Desktop Pentium M: Uncommon Performance
 

All in all, Dothan does some very exciting things. The promise of cool, efficient powerhouses - from Intel, nonetheless - certainly has our attention. We will be keeping a very close eye on Pentium M over the next few months, particularly with the upcoming Alviso launch. If Dothan's Linux performance keeps up this well on the 855 chipset, we can't wait to see what it does on 400MHz DDR and the 915 Northbridge.
