Core 2 Duo Mobile line of microprocessors was introduced shortly after the Core 2 Duo desktop processors. Based on the Core micro-architecture, these mobile microprocessors have many features that are present in their desktop counterparts - dual CPU cores with shared 2 MB or 4 MB level 2 cache, 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data level 1 caches per core, ability to execute up to 4 instructions per cycle, support for SSE3 and supplemental SSE3 instructions, and so on. The mobile Core 2 Duo CPUs have lower Front-Side Bus frequency, lower core voltage and lower power consumption than desktop processors. The mobile Core 2 Duo CPUs not only include all low-power modes of desktop processors, they also have additional modes and features:
  • Deeper Sleep mode offers better power savings than Deep Sleep mode by further reducing core voltage. From this mode the CPU can transition to enhanced Deeper Sleep mode. In enhanced mode mode the contents of L2 cache is flushed to main memory, the cache is turned off and the core voltage is reduced further, which results in even lower power consumption.
  • Dynamic FSB frequency switching: this feature allows the CPU to reduce its FSB in half thus reducing CPU frequency in half. Combining this feature with SpeedStep technology greatly reduces power consumption.

Some mobile core 2 Duo processors include Dynamic Acceleration technology. This technology is used to temporary increase maximum frequency of one processor core while the other core is inactive. Performance increase in this mode is not very big - essentially in this mode the clock multiplier is increased by 1.

Mobile Core 2 Duo processors have different model numbers depending on their power consumption and performance. All mobile processors manufactured in Small Form Factor (956-ball micro FCBGA) package have model numbers staring from 'S'. Remaining letters and digits in the model number designate:

  • T7xxx, T9xxx - high-performance mobile microprocessors.
  • T5xxx, T8xxx - low-cost mobile processors
  • P8xxx, P9xxx - high-performance processors with lower power consumption.
  • L7xxx - low-power CPUs
  • U7xxx, U9xxx - ultra low-power CPUs.

Intel T5670 is an OEM-only processor used in HP Compaq 6730s, Lenovo Thinkpad SL500, Dell Vostro 1510 and other notebooks. The T5670 runs at the same core and FSB frequency, and has the same L2 cache size as T7100 CPU. Both processors have almost identical features, except that the 7100 support Virtualization technology, and the T5670 doesn't.

Intel T7600G was offered as $275 option in Dell XPS M1710 notebooks. This is one of the fastest Core 2 Duo mobile processors for socket M motherboards (the other is T7600), and it is the only production socket M processor with unlocked multiplier. The T7600G has maximum clock multiplier 19x, so potentially it can be overclocked up to 3.16 GHz.

I can`t seem to find T7350 cpu

Response: I don't think that T7350 exists. It seems to me that some sellers mistakenly use T7350 when notebooks have P7350 CPUs.

any status on adding it? need to compare a T6570 to a T3400 and decide if it worth ~$140 more

Response: T6400 and T6600 processors were added two weeks ago. T6570 will be added this week.

Hello world! :)
please add the T9900, it really exists.
Freq 3.06GHz - FSB 1066 - L2 6MB - TDP 35W
On the same line of the oldest X9100!
I think that it's a great cpu for a mobile!

where is Intel P7550?

I did not find Intel P7550

Response: It will be added in the next two days.
