Dual Core T1400 or Celly 550?

Hi All!

I have a quick question for my new laptop. I can't find a mobile cpu-bench anywhere where these 2 cpu's are listed.

Which cpu is faster for general work, (surfing, chatting, decompressing files)

T1400 45 nm 512K 1.73 GHz 533 MHz

or:

Celeron550 65 nm 1 MB L2 2.00 GHz 533 MHz

I don't mind for the speedstep or energy savings.

Another one: is a Celeron-M as fast as a normal Celeron with the same specs?

 

Dual core easily..

Next time please refer to stickies before posting and you would have found this

T1400 is 65nm as well.

A Dual-Core Celeron will be better.

I don't think there are any Desktop Celerons that are comparable to the Celeron Ms.

 

That doesn't mention a T1400. And that list seems a bit general, like A Dual/Duo will always be faster than a single core, no matter the speed and the app.

But thanks anyway, because I didn't interpret it well earlier

 

@Andy:

My info comes from: intel.com/cd/products/services/emea/eng/processors/celerondualcore/390253.htm

It states that a T1400 is a Dual-Core celeron on 45nm basis. On the same Intel site there's the list of Celeron-M and Celeron CPU's with the same nummbers:

intel.com/cd/products/services/emea/eng/processors/celeron/347020.htm
intel.com/products/processor_number/eng/chart/celeron.htm

 

I don't understand that comment either - neither processor are dual core.

As for your question, it looks like the specs you posted for the T1400 are off. Try this:

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL92V

It is a 65 nm with a 667 Mhz FSB running at 1.83 Ghz. Basically a slightly updated pentium M. Both processors are probably pretty similar in performance. Why a decision between these two?

EDIT - your last post must have come in as I was adding this. Looks like intel lists two differerent T1400 pro,cessors, one solo, one dual core. If it is in fact the dual core, it is definitely a much better choice than a single core celeron overall, especially if it is a 45 nm - will run more efficiently, has better core instructions that will make it run faster at a lower processor speed.

In that case, I understand the mod's comments - this is the type of thing that should be researched on your own first.

 

if i remember right, Intel used T1xxx only for single core cpus

Ok, I don't know. It is a Celeron and it supports EIST. Weird !!
But its a Celeron for sure.

Anyway, is it hard to find anything better than a Celeron ?
You could go for a T3200/T5800, etc which are budget dual-core processors and much better, in terms of efficiency and performance.

 

@Cheffy: It is indeed the dual-core T1400. I agree that it will be faster at a lower speed, but also with half the cache-size?

The reason for these 2 CPU's is that I'm looking for the best deal for the least amount of money, here's the product btw:

prf.icecat.biz/index.cgi?product_id=1722480;mi=start;smi=product;shopname=openICEcat-url

The site is in Dutch, but you'll get the hang of it . I actually have spent a couple of hours resarching this, but hadn't found a satisfying answer until yet.

 

honestly, i'm sure it will satisfy your needs for now. If not, you can always upgrade it to a Socket P C2D

 

I hope you find this satisfactory.





It is a Merom Core, 65nm and without EIST according to that review ^.
(A proper, legit Celeron )
