    Hi,
    My current laptop has a T7200. I am planning on buying a new laptop, but i found it has P7350 (both of them are running at 2Ghz. No idea if this is redundant info or not :) )

    What is the difference between the two? Will the P7350 perform poorer? How much of a difference should i expect?

    Thanks a lot in advance

    They will perform similar, and even in CPU-intensive tasks, the performance will be similar. The 3MB vs 4MB Cache won't make much of a difference. But the P7350 will be alot more energy efficient, will provide longer battery life and will run cooler. (25W vs 35W TDP)
    PLUS, you will get the added performance and advantages of the Montevina platform v/s the old Napa platform.
    (Better RAM, FSB, GPU and more Upgradibility)

    They will be pretty much exactly the same in terms of processing power.
    If you need more processing power, go for a higher clocked processor.

    If you are going to sell the parts from your old laptop, I would be interested in your T7200
