    how big of a performance difference is there between these two processors?

    Pretty big. Not only does the t8100 have more cache it also works on a 800MHz FSB and has 100MHz more processing power.

    edit: it will also run cooler being 45NM vs 65NM.

    was the studio 15 designed for high-level gaming anyway?

    You won't notice much difference in performance. 100MHz isn't much, the FSB and cache also don't add much more in real life performance. However, it will benefit from the new process and run a bit cooler. If you get 40fps in a game with the first processor, I don't think you'd get more than 5-10%, so 2-4 fps. Temps might drop around 5 degrees too.

    The 2MB vs 3MB cache and the extra 100MHz frequency won't make any difference, except a minor difference in intensive tasks.

    The enhanced FSB on the penryn, will provide more bandwidth to the GPU and RAM, so overall performance will be better, in real-world as well as in synthetic benchmarks.

    The Penryns have very good voltage-tolerances and can be undervolted pretty well....So they will run significantly cooler and will be more energy efficient (and will provide good performance at the same time).
