Difference between Core i5-450M and i5-520M CPU's ??

The Sony E has these two options - it's only an extra £30 to upgrade from the 450m to the 520m but the delivery time goes through the roof !!

Is it worth getting the 520m as it seems to be almost identical to the 450m ??

Whaddaya say dudes ??

 

Here's the benchmarks: PassMark Software - CPU Benchmarks - List of Benchmarked CPUs

 

Thanks Bro !!

But how can this be ??

Intel Core i5 M 450 @ 2.40GHz = 2449 & 160
Intel Core i5 M 520 @ 2.40GHz = 2367 & 167

The cheaper 450m is better/faster than the 520m ??

hmmmm, I guess there is no reason to go for 520 then..

the only difference is;

450M has a turbo boost of 2.66GHz and 520M has a turbo boost of 2.93GHz - Negligible !

 

IDK bro

Well actually I do. The i5 520 includes something called embedded. IDK what it is, but here's an Intel video on it: Intel® Core™ Processor Family - Video - Intel

And some other stuff like:

The 450 and the 520 are the same, except for the 520 has:
- .33GHz more turboboost
- Intel® Virtualization Technology (running 2 operating systems at a time)
- Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (something about security)
- AES New Instructions (better encryption, so better security)

Here's a thread that talks abut it: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq-voodoo-pc/495204-i5-450-vs-i5-520-a.html

 

SWEET !! Thanks for the link dude !!
