The Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 is a mobile dual core processor based on the Merom core. In 2006, the T7400 was a mid-range to high-end laptop processor. In 2010, the performance is only in the entry level segment. Later announced Penryn based Core 2 Duo processors are manufactured in 40nm and feature a higher speed per clock rate. Therefore, the Core 2 Duo P7450 is a bit faster and also more power efficient.

Intel Core 2 Duo T6600

The Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 is an entry to mid-range dual core processor for laptops. It is based on the Penryn architecture, but features only 2 MB level 2 cache and a mediocre clock rate of 2.2 GHz. Compared to the similar T6670, the T6600 does not feature Virtualization features in hardware and is speced at a lower maximum temperature.
