Identify my processor???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bought a Toshiba Satellite that has the Centrino Duo sticker and the Core Duo Processor T2050 w/ a clock speed of 1.6, FSB of 533, and 2 MG of L2 Cache, but when I added on Norton Utilites and did the "Check It" program it said the CPU type was a Celeron MMX. When I installed Intel's processor identification utility it said it was a Core Duo Processor but under the CPU Type column it said "O".

My question is, could this really be two (duo) Celeron processors instead of Pentium processors? However, all the specs I have seen on Intel's site indicate the Celeron M processors only have up to 1 MG of L2 cache with 1.6 MHz and 533 FSB and the Pentium M processors do have 2 MG L2 cache so could the Norton utility be wrong?

Also, what does it mean by "family" and is that a key to what type of processor it is?:

The T2050 seems to be a slower version of the T2250, look here.
It is a Core Duo, don't worry.

The good news is that you can most likely overclock it to 2 GHz (12 x 166) with a pin mod, thanks to the high multiplier (12) and the reduced stock FSB (133 MHz).

 

Thank you but can you give me a little more insight...

Even though it is Core Duo, can't it still be Celeron processors? And, how can it be called a Centrino Duo if it is at 533 MHz?

 

No, because there are NO dual core Celeron processors avaliable right now.
The Norton utilities is just outdated, use CPU-Z instead. Did you try it?

Did you check my link? The Core Duo 2x 50 series have a slower bus speed, just like there are Pentium D's with different bus speeds.

 

technically there is no such thing as a celeron processor or an M processor anymore. you have core duo and core solo.

in any case, the only difference between a celeron cpu and a similar M is the lack of power saving features (throttling cpu speed to save battery life) and a smaller cache (1 mb vs 2 mb).

bus speed has nothing to do with centrino-ness.

you should hit up wiki and do some reading on centrino, celeron and bus speed cuz it seems like you're mixing some things up.

 

Thank you for the info...

I did try the CPUID and it indicated it was a Core Duo Processor (code name - Yohan).
