p9600 or p9550 anyone have more info on these

other than the small bits online. i can get one on either for me new notebook but id like more info on them especially the p9600 intel has 0 stuff as far as i can tel posted yet other than a tiny bit of info from various places. i know it will be 2.66 from what is stated but some places like notebook check among others states 2.8 some state a 25w t and some a 35w t and some even a 45w t???

i can also get a p9500 but the p9600 is only a few dollars more for me (es samples from a freind of mine)

otherwise would you spend about 70-90$ more for the t9600 over the p9500 or

 

They are coming with the Centrino 2 refresh, and since both are P series they have 25w TDP. P9600 is 2.66GHz.

"Intel plans to add five mobile CPUs in Q1 2009. The lower performer is Core 2 Duo T8700 that runs at 2.53GHz with FSB of 1066MHz and 3MB of L2 cache. The Core 2 Duo T9550 is pretty stronger with a 2.66GHz clock rate and 6MB of L2 cache. The Core 2 Duo T9800 is the fastest of them all. It runs at 2.93GHz and 6MB of L2 cache.

The Core 2 Duo P9600 operates at a speed of 2.66GHz with FSB of 1066MHz and 6MB of L2 cache. The main difference between T and P series is in TDP. The T8700, T9550 and T9800 have a TDP of 35W while the P9600 has a TDP of only 25W.

The cheaper Core 2 Quad Q9000 is clocked at 2GHz with FSB of 1066MHz and only 6MB of L2 cache. The Thermal Design Power of this processor will probably be 44W or lower."

You can find some more info here too:

some pretty reliable places are saying 35w for the p9600 i dont believe it but i guess we cant be sure till they show up. i know i can get one now but its a b1 stepping that doesnt show temps. he also has t9800, t9550, etc ... i can get a c0 stepping es p9500 for 200$ the p9600 would cost me about 50$ more.. worth it??

or should i go with the t9600 for 280$ it seems from tests the t9600 is def power hungry and may not be worth the battery vs speed ill gain from it over the p9500, thoughts?

 

yeah this is the only info i have been able to find. but some people from intel on some forums have said the p9600 will end up 35w so im not sure ..

 

I never ever give a chance that Intel will mess-up its naming scheme. So far the P series have 25W TDP and the T series have 35W.

It will not make sense for another reason too: T9550 is a 2.66GHz CPU with 6MB of L2 cache. P9600 is a 2.66GHz cpu with 6MB of L2 too. If P9600 is a 35W CPU, what would be the difference between T9550???

 

P9600 is 2.8GHz; 6MB; 25W.

 

Um, T9800 is 2.93Ghz; 6MB; 35W. P9600 is 2.66Ghz; 6MB; 25W, while the T9550 is same, just 35W. P8700 is 2.53Ghz; 3MB; 25W.

All of the new chips will presumably be released on December 28th.

 

the t9600 is 2.8 the t9800 is 2.93 the p9600 will for sure be 2.66

im just wondering if its worth an extra 50$over the p9500 for the added .13 gain and being a b1 stepping means the temp sensors will not function the p9500 i can get is a c0 and perfect..looks like i7's are coming soon much sooner than many thought, i wonder why intel isreleasing these new monti's and then within like three weeks the i7's are supposed to be out. they never make sense to me. now im wondering if i should hold off and wait for i7 before buying anything now

 

What does your heart tell you?

 

lol of course i want it now but im not sure if i should wait or not.. i just sold my compal so im looking for something new now..

 

The P9600 has a multiplier of 9.4 -- 266*9.4 = 2500MHz .... I can surely rely upon that "Gold Level PowerSeller" for processor info. Plus, he has linked it to the T9400.

The P9600, according to this site is a 2.8GHz chip, with a multiplier of 10.5x....Avoid ES if you can.

 

I cant wait for the q9000 i am pretty sure that is my next processer for my dv7.

 

the notebook they show on that site is a t9600 not a p9600 scroll down and read the specs..

 

Just follow the path: T9600 (2.8) -> T9800 (2.93), P9500 (2.53) -> P9600 (2.66); it makes more sense, and there's no way Intel is making a .27 Ghz jump while maintaining the 25W threshold. Typing 'Intel P9600' into Google will provide enough proof.

Isn't mobile i7 coming in no sooner than Q3 2009, because of the platform's high TDP? That's a long time to wait for an uncertain release date.

 

ive seen recent reports that say it will be a lot sooner than that...

 

Where?

Intel to launch more core 2 duos in late December

Intel plans to launch one of its last batches of Core 2 mobile processors towards the end of December, according to sources in the Taiwanese rumour mill.

Apparently December 28th is the launch date for a Chipzilla line up which should include five faster, lower energy consuming processors – set to consume no more than 35W – aimed at the ultra thin and portable notebook market.

The line up would probably also count the much whispered about 2.93GHz Core 2 Duo, dubbed the T9800, and also the 2GHz Core 2 Quad Q9000, the firm's first normal power quad-core processor for notebooks.

The chips will purportedly fetch US$530 and US$348 respectively (in bulk), pushing them more towards high-end and mainstream models.

Three lower-end processors, the 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo P9600, 2.66GHz T9550 and 2.53GHz T8700, priced at $348, $316 and $241 respectively would be updates for cheaper processors.

Getting into the Christmas spirit, Intel has decided that as well as releasing its new line, it will also slash prices on current top-end Core 2 Duo P8600 processors by $32, pushing them down to $209 in January 2009.

>>>>>>>The updates will be launched just a matter of weeks before mobile Core i7 processors are supposed to be launched. These should be faster than the December updates with comparable clock speeds.

DodgyTimes also reports that Intel’s P55 PCH Ibexpeak chipset, set to link up with coming soon processors, Lynnfield and Havendale, will probably be made available to motherboard manufacturers by Q3 of next year.

 

Well bad news for you, it won't work in your dv7t.

Mobile QC require a different motherboard.

 

You know ...
I find it a bit tedious that Intel is releasing new cpu's so quickly.
One generation is released, then about 6 months later and they pop out another one.
Why don't they simply wait a year between the releases because the intermittent releases (the P series for example) are just a revised version of previous generation mostly with lower power consumption and higher FSB.

If they waited a year, then you'd definitely see more noteworthy improvement as far as technology is concerned.

Oh well.

Hey 'Plasma' ... what kind of a mobo is required for mobile QC processors?
I have a P45 chipset in my Acer 5930G.
Would it be adequate for an upgrade to QC or would I have to buy a new laptop altogether?

 

Next laptop I get will definitely have a quad core. The 2GHz Q9000 is better than the T9800 at multi-tasking.

 

Not sure when these got added but specs are out fully on Intel's site.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLGEJ

Q9000 is the most interesting of the group.

 

The real question is 1) whether the i7 release information is correct, 2) when will we see these processors available on build sheets (specifically dell's precision line).

 

The Core i7 for laptops rumor is BS, plain and simple.

 

Core i7 is never coming to laptops, Intel said it. Laptops will be getting a variation of Nehalem starting in the fall of 2009, but it will not be called Core i7, it will be something else.

 

the mobo's on the dell precision m4400 and m6400 support both dual and quad core. the quad core listed is the QX9300

 

Sorry, should have been more specific on the 2nd point I made above - where as when will these new refreshed processors (specifically the p9600) be available on the build list for a dell m4400.
