Central processing unit (CPU)

 Laptop CPUs have advanced power-saving features and produce less heat than desktop processors, but are not as powerful.[32]There is a wide range of CPUs designed for laptopsavailable from Intel (Pentium MCeleron MIntel Coreand Core 2 Duo), AMD (AthlonTurion 64, andSempron), VIA TechnologiesTransmeta and others. On the non-x86 architectures, Motorola and IBM produced the chips for the former PowerPC-based Apple laptops (iBook and PowerBook). Some laptops have removable CPUs, although support by the motherboard may be restricted to the specific models.[33] In other laptops the CPU is soldered on the motherboard and is non-replaceable.
