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?
