Possible CPU Upgrade for IFL90

Is there any possible processor that can be used by the Compal FL90 (currently using T7250)?

 

If it's Santa Rosa model
than,
Merom CPUs :
T7100, T7200, T7300, T7500, T7600, T7700,
And probably X7800...

 

penryn cpus:
t8100, t8300, t9300, t9500

 

So who's right now?

Anybody can "proof" his claims?

I also wonder which CPU upgrade would be possible, and anywhere I read, I get the above infomation, which is somewhat contradictorily, hehe.

Anybody can clearify this?

Cheers

 

From Wiki... :
"Santa Rosa platform (2007)
The codename Santa Rosa refers to the fourth-generation Centrino platform, which was released on Thursday May 10, 2007

Centrino Santa Rosa platform
Mobile chipset an Intel Mobile 965 Express series chipset (codenamed Crestline): GM965 with Intel GMA X3100 graphics technology or PM965 with discrete graphics, and ICH8M southbridge, 800 MT/s front side bus with Dynamic Front Side Bus Switching to save power during low utilization.
Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA), better Windows Vista Aero support.[1]
RAM supported for PC2-4200 (DDR2-533) and PC2-5300 (DDR2-667) SO-DIMM.[2] Runs DDR2-800 SO-DIMMs at 667 MHz even though an 800 MT/s front side bus is supported.[3]
EFI-compliant firmware, a successor to BIOS.
optional NAND flash-memory caching branded as Intel Turbo Memory (codenamed Robson).
Ethernet LAN controller 82562V (codenamed Ekron-N) or Gigabit Ethernet LAN controllers 82566MM and 82566MC (codenamed Nineveh).

Mobile processor Processors - Socket P / Socket M / Micro-FCBGA
an Intel Core 2 Duo (codenamed Merom) second generation processor with 800 MT/s FSB, or
an Intel Core 2 Duo (codenamed Penryn) 45 nm processor with 800 MT/s FSB and SSE4.1, which will add 47 new instructions to SSSE3. It was scheduled for release in January 2008[4] for Santa Rosa Refresh platform.

Wireless network an Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN (a/b/g/draft-n) mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter (codenamed Kedron).
Wireless-N technology boasts a 5X speed increase, along with a 2X greater coverage area, and supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal bands, with enough bandwidth for high definition audio and video streams.[5]."


What is important is the part about CPU's - i t is said that if you want a working penryn in it it must be (otherwise there is a risk of smokin' it ) Refreshed Santa Rosa Platform - it means chipset manufactured after january 2008...

 

I have a sager 2090 (IFL90) with a T8300 running at 2.4ghz.

 

sorry I forgot

So it is penryn... and it works Santa rosa refresh (as far as I know only heat sensors are different in this chipset (and standart bios settings)). Older chipsets are capable of handling them but with a risk of overheating.
So when installed (penryn) I advise to use some extra fan or other cooling device with high air flow).

 

What are you talking about?

Penryns are 45nm and will run cooler if anything.

 

Yeah, you are right about that part about 45nm exept the fact that older Santa Rosa Chipsets, are unable to read real temperature because of heat sensor wwhich is different in SR refreshed. Check it.

 

yea that is true on the temp sensor, on the santa rosa refresh intel moved it off the cpu. i cant really get real temps but i still under volt the cpu with RMclock. the original cpu in my sager 2090 was a t7300 running at 2.0, when i installed the t8300 i can feel less heat coming from the back and i run Boinc 24/7 on this laptop.

 

T7600 is socket M so it's not going to work with Santa Rosa.

I had a tecra A9 (Santa Rosa), upgraded from a T7300 to a T8100, was able to get temp readings with no problems. Guess it can depend on the notebook.
