Which is the better cpu?

This cpu in the dv9000z. The AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Mobile TL-60 (2.0GHz/512KB)

or the Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor T7200 (2.0 GHz) in the dv9000t.

Also I have another question. this processor in the dell Inspiron E1705 (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5600 (2MB Cache/1.83GHz/667MHz FSB)) has four times the cache of the AMD I listed above does that cache really make that much of a diffence?

 

AMD processors don't use the cache nearly as much as the Intel's do...which is why AMD doesn't include much. Intel processors use the cache, and gain performance benefits when equipped with so much cache.

anyway, the Core 2 T7200 would be superior to the TL-60 in both performance and battery life.

 

The Core 2 duo is probably better than the AMD but depending on what you are planning on doing the AMD should suffice and be fine for you. If the AMD DV9000z is less expensive than the DV9000t and you are not planning on doing anything that is terribly CPU intensive then I would go for the 9000z just to save the money because in most normal usage you won't notice a difference.

 

however, if you are planning on being mobile often and value battery life...a few $xx might be worth it for that alone.

and yes, for general purpose you might not notice the difference between AMD and Intel.

 

Right now I'll trying to decide between hp and dell laptops. Most of the desktops that I built myself have used amd processors.

The laptop will not be mobile it will be a desktop replacement and will stay on a desk.

Also I will use the laptop the surfing the net and gameing will a amd processor suffice for that or should I get the intel?

 

Gaming doesnt even require a dual core. 90% of the time the bottleneck lies in the ram or the gpu, not the processor, so either one will annihilate any game out today.

 

I would go with the core 2 duo

 

Thanks for that info
