    Has anyone seen a benchmark for the new U5400? How does it compare to the SU7300?

    Is the new arrandale CULV microarchitecture clock to clock faster without its gimmicks, which are all disabled in this particular CPU, than the old Core2 CULV?

    I found some info on Intel's site:
    U5400: Intel® Pentium® Processor U5400 (3M Cache, 1.20 GHz) with SPEC Code(s) SLBUH
    SU7300: Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor SU7300 (3M Cache, 1.30 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLGS6, SLGYV

    I think the U5400 is one of the new chips based on the Core processors. It uses 32nm technology and has built-in HD graphics - no Core 2 has that. Also, it has "3MB Smart Cache" - doesn't sound like L2 cache to me, which is what the Core 2 has.
    One other difference between the U5400 and the SU7300 is that the U5400 does not support virtualization while the SU7300 does. Intel typically disables virtualization on their budget chips.

    So, the U5400 will be faster than the SU7300. Intel says the new Core ULV processors are up to 1/3 faster than the SU7300.
