    Hello everyone,

    I am planning to buy a new 12 inch notebook and I am surfing the web to gather information about different models. One thing I noticed is that some notebooks have processors which are not listed on Intel's web site.

    http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/mobile/specifications.htm

    For example, the ones I am concerned with are T6570 and P7370. When I google, I find some information about the first one, but none about the second one. (well except its clock hour)

    So, why doesn't intel put some processors to its web site? Doesnt it mean those processors are bad and crap or what?

    ok, thanks for the quick response. My main point is why doesnt intel put it in the big table, the table in the link i gave above? Should I be suspicious about these models? Maybe they have some error or what?

    Also, as far as heat is concerner, I can see P7370 works at a lower temperature. So is it a "noticable" difference as far as a laptop is concerned? I dont want my keyboard to get warm.

    Also are they both 64bit?

    Sometimes intel does provide processors which are sold only to OEM(manufacturers) and those usually dont get listed in the main page. These processors should work fine as any other Intel processor. The difference between the P and the T series processors lies in their TDP rating and unless you are running at max all the time differences between them will be small.

    Yes, they are both 64bit capable.

    and cache as well, not to mention the larger thermal interface on the T series to cover the larger die because of cache which overall at idle keeps it much cooler.

    Only at idle and light use, at full load the P series is cooler and uses less power.
