So guys I'm ordering a new laptop this week for uni! I start next month and I have throughly exhausted my Dell I got 3 years ago...overclocked to the limit! Anyway I have my eyes set on the Dell Studio 15"6,a particuluar model priced at £579, specs are as follows; Base Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 Cache) Microsoft Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium SP1 (64 BIT) - English Video Card 512MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4570 Hard Drive 320GB (5.400rpm) SATA Hard Drive And a dvd rw etc The question I have for you esteemed people is this, a configurable componhent of the laptop upon purchasing is the processor, and I noticed that for some reason an Intel core 2 duo 2.1ghz processor is cheaper than the one that comes with it! Why is this? The processor is a T6500, 800mhz and 2mb. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to FSB and and Mhz, so I would be thankful if someone could explain to me why the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 Cache) is regarded better than the T6500 (2.1ghz, 800mhz and 2mb cache). Thanks!
The P7350 is a new generation processor, so it has a lower clockspeed than the T series so it uses less power, but is actually a faster CPU, hence why it is more expensive.
