Time for some research

may i know how reliable is the new mobile i5? i need everyone's opinion.. tq

Its a dual-core processor with 4 threads.. so.. what else u nid to know? It is better than the current Core 2 Duo.. So... it should perform much better with Hyper Threading, Turbo Boost, 32nm(Cooler Temps)..

so logically, if i get the dell or asus with i5, the heat will be much cooler? i just scared it will give prob if i get it now.

I guess no.. yea 32nm process would be cooler than the 45nm which are already cool for me

oh ok thx.

how fast would it be for those i7-720qm(1.6ghz) in comparison for those laptop c2d with higher clock..let say 2.5ghz in terms of rendering(3dsmax) im aware of i7 for dekstop have highers clocks(let say of the i7 860 at 2.8ghz) will outperform(@rendering) c2d procs(let say 3ghz).but im curious how will these mobile i7-720 with a lower clock speed compared to those of c2d with higher clock lappy @ 2.5ghz perform in 3dsmax rendering.

review for some latest processors from intel here

I've noticed from Dell's site that the Studio 15 no longer has the Core2Duo P8600 and T6600 already.

All there are are the i7 and i5.

For the RM3299 model ->

Intel® Core™ i5-430M Processor (2.26GHz, 4 Threads, turbo boost up to 2.53GHz, 3M cache)

RM3599 model ->

Intel® Core™ i5-520M Processor (2.4GHz, 4 Threads, turbo boost up to 2.93GHz, 3M cache)

RM3999 model ->

Intel® Core™ i7-720QM (1.6GHz, 4 Cores/8 Threads, turbo up to 2.8 GHz, 6MB Cache)

From what I can see, the 430M's stock clock speed and turbo boost is what differs it from the 520M, but is the difference obvious?

As you stated above, both differs in clock speed & turbo boost....meaning that 520M can give much more raw processing power compared with 430M...same as before where as P8700 is higher clocked than P8600 which we can see P8700 can gives more processing power

thread closed...

look out for new thread... not juz for Intel, but AMD as well...

thread transformed...

discussions are welcomed...

erm... i suggest we make some cpu benchmark thingy... what do u think??

any good programs for that???

for a start, 3D Mark 06 can be considered one...

I agree with some CPU benchmarking...after that maybe we list down the CPU according to benchmark score just for references ...

Can let people see the differences each Core brings even though they are in the same family tree ...got a lot of people asking, i5 430M & i5 520M, which is best ...can be resolved by this

well, i was playing with Everest juz now, and the benchmark in it is probably a good gague...

only problem is that there are so many of them...

The benchmark section in Everest can be use ..i usually use that to BM my CPU ...just need to choose one or two ...

Compare between the new "VALUE" Core i3-300M and the old "MAINSTREAM" Intel Core 2 Duo T6570... which is better overall? Why?

better go for Core i3 now...

newer technology with clock speed that's close to the C2D T6000 series...
