  • Operating frequency of the T9400 microprocessor is higher than the frequency of the i3-350M processor.


Intel Core i3-350M (PGA988) advantages



Intel Core i3-350M (PGA988)

  • One of the distinctive features of the microprocessor is Hyper-Threading technology. The Hyper-Threading doubles the number of threads that the processor can process simultaneously.
  • The microprocessor has SSE4.2 instructions.
  • The processor comes with integrated HD (Nehalem) GPU. This GPU replaces low-end graphics card, and thus lowers the cost of the system.


T9400 vs i3-350M specifications comparison

The graphs below demonstrate the difference between Intel i3-350M and Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 most important characteristics. These features, as well as an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a CPU performs. The "Number of cores / threads" graph shows the number of cores (darker area). Lighter area on the graph corresponds to the number of extra threads, provided by Hyper-Threading technology. Darker area on the "On-chip cache" graph is for the On-chip L2 cache. Lighter area is for the L3 cache cache. Although the L3 cache cache is usually larger than the On-chip L2 cache, it is always slower.
