    I would like some thoughts on processors for a Clevo M570 Notebook.

    What do you think the best option is for speed, battery life, heat, obsolescence.

    My current front runner is the T7400. It appears to have a nice battery life advantage over the Athons, however I am not sure about speed.

    I dont think the Turion is available for the Clevo but any thoughts on the merits of this processor would be appreciated.

    A table of processor benchmarks.

    There are a lot of threads regarding Dual Core processors in general, and comparisons between Turion and CD. The benchmark table includes PCMark06 of most processors, FX-60 would score better than T7400, then again, T7600 would score better than FX-60. Those are raw benchmarks only, did you check searching for threads on Athlon x2? Try the search upright of the page.

    The Clevo M570U is a beast of a gaming machine.

    It can house up to Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 (2.33ghz)

    The sweet spot for mobile CPU's currently lies with the Core 2 Duo T7200 or the T7400. They got the best "bang for the buck" performance/cost ratio.

    The CPU in such a high-end notebook should not really be looked at for batterylife comparisons. Its going to be the larger hi-res LCD panel and the high-end videocard (nVidia 7950 GTX) that is going to affect the batterylife the most.

    This notebook still cranks out about 2.5-3 hours of batterylife. :)

    speed and battery life are inversely related

    the fastest processor for notebooks is the t7600g in the dell m1710, you can overclock it to a potential 3.1ghz, it's a $700 price tag that gives you 45% more speed and huge bragging rights
