Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T5600

Intel Core 2 Duo T9550

► remove from comparison Intel T9550

The Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 was the middle class dual core CPU for laptops at the time of introduction. It is similar to the Core 2 Duo P9600 except for the higher TDP of 35 versus 25 Watt.

Due to the relatively high clock speed and 6MB Level 2 cache, the T9550 offers enough performance for demanding games (in 2009) and applications. 

The T9550 uses a Penryn (Montevina Update) core that features 2 integer units, 1 floating point unit, 1 load unit, and 1 store unit in a 14-stages long pipeline. Due to the Wide Dynamic Execution Technology, the core is able to simultaneously execute up to four instructions.

The integrated Enhanced Speedstep is able to downclock the core dynamically to save power (in idle mode).

Intel Core 2 Duo T5600

► remove from comparison

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 is an entry-level dual core processor for laptops. It is based on the Merom core and therefore manufactured in 65nm. Compared to the C2D T5670, the T5600 features Virtualization functions VT-x, but lacks Idle Stats (according to the Intel HP).
