    I know T9300 is tested and is a bit faster than the T7700.

    But I can't find any benchmark for the T8100 , especially comapring its performance against the T7500.

    I know think the T8100 is due to its smaller L2 cache slower than the T7500 for Photoshop or video decoding work.

    But I can't be sure how much slower it is than the T7500, I now have the T8300 and HD2400 at work and want to exchange it to a model have T8100 with better GPU-the NV8600gt.

    But if the T8100 is significantly slower than the T8300 or the T7500, I will keep mine and forget about gaming for a while.


    So if any one know any benchmark compaing these CPUs , not T9300 or T9500, these are over priced here and I am not interested in them.

    Any info appreciated.

    WPrime is a good benchmark. Any photo editing, video encoding is a good benchmark. The problem is finding results from other users to measure them against. We have a good selection, thanks to Gohpn on WPrime, do a search for test your CPU performance and you'll find the thread. Hope that helps!

    thanks , do you think the T8100 is fast enough or at least as fast as the T7500? I would like to down grade my T8300 to it to get a better GPU.

    You will only notice the difference in benchmarks. Which wins T7500 vs T8100? They will be the same in the real world.

    ok thanks.

    but how they fare against the T8300 ,noticeably slower ?

    hope not then I can get the NVIDIA 8600(the NVIDIA only comes with T8100 or T7250 here), but this deal only last till sunday to I have to make my mind in 2 days.

    Thanks for your input , seems like better get a cheaper CPU with a more expensive GPU like NV8600 or HD 3850 ?

    So basically , I'll have to choose NV8400GS(128mb GDDR3) with T8300 or NV8600GT(256mb gddr2) with T8100, or T8300 with HD2400 with 256mb of GDDR3.

    It is about a 12% or 13% difference in demanding CPU tasks T8300 vs T8100. Simple math as same L2 and same CPU line.

    ok thank you , powerpack , I will stick with t8300 although I will have to compromise with my GPU choice .

    Take care and have a good one.

    As powerpack says the T8300 will only be a virtually unnoticeable 12-13% faster...if that...and only in the most demanding CPU tasks.

    It is generally considered to take a speed difference of 15-20% to be even noticeable in real world use. Actually, I think you would be better off with the better GPU and the T8100.

    I would recommend the T8100 to OP as the diff between T8300 vs T8100 is minimal and only in certain tasks. I agree with all paladin44 said. I should of spelled it out more clearly. There is no reason for OP to sacrifice on gaming. Let me put it in perspective. That 12% to 13% is a theoretical maximum difference on the most demanding tasks. I have doubts those will even be realized, but for the sake of discussion fine, let us run with it and from OP user name let us go with PhotoShop example. I will use 10% to make the math easy. If you adjust a photo and the T8300 takes 1 minute the T8100 takes maybe 1minute 6 seconds, it goes on 1 hr is 1 hour and 6 minutes. That is best case. Without a stopwatch you can't tell. The GPU is very noticeable. I would buy the T8100 in a heart beat. I feel the overall experience (better GPU) will be far superior. I hope I did not post too late.
