Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD 475 MHz Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD ? / 533 MHz 0.3 GB Turbo Boost, Hyper Threading, Enhanced Speedstep, integrierte GMA HD 500-733MHz, Dual Channel DDR3 memory controller SSE4.1, Virtualization Technology, Execute Disable Bit, Enhanced Speedstep, Ehnaced Halt State (C1E), 64 Bit, Trusted Execution Technology In Idle mode, the i5 uses clearly less power than the Core 2 Duo CPUs. Due to the Turbo Boost, the Core i5 is likely to use the whole TDP of 35 Watt under load and therefore can use more power than a similar specified Core 2 Duo. The power consumption of 35 Watt TDP (max.) counts for the whole package and therefore it is clearly better than the 35 Watt TDP of the Core 2 Duo T-series (CPU alone). According to rumors, the GMA core will also use the Turbo Mode regulate the clock speed.
#Core 2 duo vs i5 driver#
A GeForce 9400M (ION) should still be a faster (especially as Nvidia and ATI cards have a better driver support than Intel up to now). The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD (GMA HD) graphics card is known to be clocked up to 500-766 MHz and should be clearly faster than the old GMA 4500MHD. The 32nm cpu cores of the Westmere generation can also process some new instructions to accelerate AES encryptions. Only the quad core i7 CPUs can be noticeably faster at tasks that require four or more threads (e.g. Compared to the older Core 2 Duo models, the i5-560M should be faster than the T9900. Therefore, the Core i5-560M is a high end dual core cpu which should handle all daily work and gaming tasks.

The performance of the Core i5-560M should be a bit beyond the Core i7-620M and therefore the second fastest dual core CPU for laptops in 2010.

Both are on a separate die that is still manufactured in 45nm whereas the CPU die is already manufactured in the new 32nm process. Compared to the Core i7-580M, the 560M a slightly lower maximum Turbo Boost frequency.Ī feature of the new Core i5-560M is the integrated graphics card called GMA HD and memory controller. Hyperthreading enables the Dual Core CPU to handle 4 threads at once (for a better usage of the pipeline). Each core is based on the Nehalem (Westmere) micro-architecture. The Intel Core i5-560M is a high end dual core CPU for laptops and clocks (due to the Turbo Mode) from 2.66 to 3.2 GHz. Intel Core i5-560M ► remove from comparison The Core 2 Duo P8600 can be used in a Socket P socket with 479 pins: Socket P / Micro Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (Micro-FCPGA) requires 479-pin surface mount Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket (mPGA479M socket) or Micro Flip-Chip Ball Grid Array (Micro-FCBGA) for surface mount (479-ball) The integrated Enhanced Speedstep is able to downclock the core dynamically as low as 1200 MHz to save power (in idle mode). Due to the Wide Dynamic Execution Technology, the core is able to simultaneously execute up to four instructions. The P8600 uses a Penryn (Montevina Update) core that features 2 integer units, 1 floating point unit, 1 load unit, and 1 store unit in a 14-stages long pipeline. Compared to the fastest Turion II Ultra M640, the P8600 should be still faster. High end gamers should choose a higher clocked Dual Core instead (when using a high end GPU). Due to the smaller cache (Core 2 Duo T-Models got usually 6 MB at this clock rate), the TDP is only 25 Watt (instead of the 35 Watt of the T-models).ĭue to the relatively high clock speed, modern games (in 2009) should not be limited by the CPU speed (in conjunction with a middle class graphics card). It features 2.4 GHz and a shared level 2 cache of 3 MB. The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 is a dual core processor for laptops. Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 ► remove from comparison
