Which CPU for M570RU-U/8800M GTX ?

If you plan to buy a configuration with M570RU-U + 8800M GTX, you can find some answers which should help you in your CPU choice.
A friend, Davidoff, made many test with penryn CPU : T8100 to X9000 (some with OC too).

Page 1 is here, but bench begin here !

It's in french, but easy to translate with google, and graphics results doesn't need translation...

 

nice post.

 

Thanks !
I suppose it should help someone when he have to make a choice between T9300, T9500 and more expansive X9000...

 

Hmmm, look at the Crysis results page. First, he says that with the T7700 he used a 8700GT card - while for the higher performing CPUs he used the 8800GTX ... lol

Then, look at the bars: the 6MB Cache T9300 performs poorly, while the only slightly higher clocked T9500 shows a large gain. Maybe hastily written ? Maybe he used the T9300 with the 8700GT ?

I'd take the whole writeup with more than just a grain of salt

 

Very interesting. Looks as though I made a good choice with the T9500 CPU.
Also go here: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ , to translate the web pages in to english.

 

he made just a recall of T7700+8700 results in test made few weeks ago (visibly, you don't know Portables4gamers, and all tests done in recent month with different laptop)...
And he want to show how big is 8800's performance instead of 8700, with same CPU clock (approximatively : T7700 is 2.4ghz and T9300 is 2.5ghz). Tell me : you don't find any bar with 8700 label ???

Nop ! he just show the real difference between 2 CPU, T9300 and T9500... And best choice is T9500...
Don't try to find error anywhere, he's very professional... And the tests are done several times to avoid errors !

 

This is what impressed me. The T9500 with just 0.1GHz over the T9300 still has a wide fps margin in Crysis: http://portables4gamers.wordpress.com/tests-from-p4g/8800m-gtx-page8/

 

I tend to doubt that 100Mhz can do that much good.

 

Me, too.

T9300 and T9500 have same architecture. Only 100MHZ difference between the two.

Probably something else was differnet between the two test. probably drivers or anything...

Here is a comparison between penryn-cpus from notebookcheck.com:

How come there's such a premium then on the T9500, if you can't get much performance benefit over the T9300. If that's the case, why would Intel release two CPU's and not just one. Doesn't seem to make much sense.

 

= $$$$$$$


The highest speed CPU's always have the highest price, even if it is only 100MHz Difference. That is how Intel Prices them traditionally.

 

It makes sense to me: tons of people wanting to pay for 100Mhz.

 

people see something cost more money, they assume its better (the non savvy people)

 

It is better, but not double the price better.

 

thats true but some people are going to pay for it and if they make enough money off it they won't change it, if more people realized what they were paying for they would drop the price because they wouldn't have any sales.

 

Oh well! Looks as though I'm in the percentage of non savvy people, lol.

 

so would it be worth it to jump from a t9300 to say a x9000 and totally skip the t9500?

 

If you have the money, then yes. But only if you plan to overclock it (which is why it's an extreme proc.). I myself, completely consider the T9500 to be non-existent.
Either way, as I see it, it's not worth it as CPU won't be the bottleneck in the future. Also, mobile quad cores will laugh at the X9000.

 

Well i do have the money so bought one anyway. As far as i see it ill be upgrading my laptop almost every year to 2 years so getting a mobile quad core is no concern to me. As they are not available say right now....
