There is a signicant difference. With all the benchmarks I've seen, the Pentium Ms beat all the other processors in terms of power consumption and heat and in a lot of cases, performance. it even outdoes the P4s and the FX series amds. Tomshardware even has benchmarks claiming such a thing (which is odd since they're usually anti-intel). It is after all, a souped up P3 which allows it to have a faster clock speed than the p4s even when running with fewer ghz.
