    I'm wondering if they have the VT activated? the T5200 doesn't, but being it's on the 533mhz FSB and these are on the 667, I hope perhaps it is.

    I'm going to guess that the wattage is the same as the other slower mobile options and sits at 35w instead of 34w. kinda surprising that, eh?

    anyhow, Intel turns up nothing when you do a search, it's not listed on the comparison chart and all the hits with Google have only told me the model/speed/cache specs, which isn't what I want to know mostly about.

    thanks!

    The T5250 and T5450 both have 2MB L2 cache and 667MHz FSB.

    These two processors are so new you won't find much on them. The T5250 runs at 1.5GHz and the T5450 runs at 1.6GHz. Neither have VT as far as I know.

    Does anyone know why Intel even made a 1.5ghz c2d? Seems pointless to me. If you're going to buy a brand new notebook with santa rosa, why settle for a weakling like that anyways?

    It's cheaper to produce, and consequently cheaper to sell.

    One feature of the T7xx SR CPUs is the slowest speed step of 800MHz @ 0.85V which should save a little power under light use. I suspect that this is absent in the T5x50 but maybe I am wrong.

    I don't think that Intel's lower cost CPUs are specially made. They are CPUs from higher up the range which failed during testing and are therefore sold to run at lower speed or with some features disabled. Selling them cheap is better than throwing them away and the pricing gives the opposition a hard time.

    I agree with john. look at the old pentium 2. they messed up big time with some of them but sold them as the celeron. if intel can make money by selling some piece of crap where theres enough market share they will do it; its just good business thinking. Why throw something away when someone will pay for it? -tangent :p
    i also would like to know what socket type the t5450 is for the x205 because i would like to upgrade my cpu as well. so far i have seen that its a socket p but few places show it as a socket m and intels web site it worthless. i suppose the only true way to know is to open it up and look for our selves :p
