Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500

The Core 2 Solo SU3500 is a power efficient single core processor for small subnotebooks. It is based on the Penryn architecture and offers all features of this core (Virtualization, C6 state, Dynamic Acceleration).

The performance of the single core ULV processor is compareable to a Atom 330 dual core at 1.6 GHz or a Athlon II Neo K125 single core at 1.7 GHz. However, both competitor are rated at a higher TDP. Therfore, the performance falls in the slowest category and especially due to the missing second core, the multi-threading performance can be disappointing. 

With a TDP rating of 5.5 Watt (1.01 Watt minimum in Deep Power-Down mode and 12.53 Watt maximum), the CPU is one of the most power efficient mobile processors (of 2009) and suited for small and light subnotebooks.

Reviews for the Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor

 

Review Dell Vostro V13 Notebook

Attractive but weak. The V13 is one of Dell's Vostro range of small-business notebooks, though you wouldn't know it to look at it. Its extremely slim exterior, with design elements borrowed from the Dell Adamo Thirteen, brings a touch of style to the dull business arena. The newcomer hopes to offer increased productivity and security, and is equipped with the latest technology. Find out how successful it is in our comprehensive review.

Review Samsung X520 Notebook

Legacy? Samsung's X-range is having a downright family gathering in our editorial office at the moment. After we have reviewed the small X120 and the somewhat bigger X420 in the previous weeks, their big brother, X520, now dares to stride over our benchmark course. The little ones showed weaknesses in the keyboard and display. Will the big brother prove to be different or is there a great family resemblance?

Review Asus UX50V Notebook

Judge a book by its cover? Asus wants to poach in the starter sector of multimedia notebooks with glossy piano lacquer, a snazzy design and a switchable graphic solution. Or don't they? Is the 15.6 inch notebook UX50V more an office device that looks good but is barely suitable for multimedia due to the weak hardware? We released the designer laptop on our test course and made our verdict without being blinded by its looks.

Review MSI X-Slim X340 Notebook

Light, slim, aesthetic. - that is how MSI promotes their X-Slim series. The X-Slim X340 in the test is, conclusively, a very slim, fairly light 13-4 inch subnotebook. The use of an Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor and integrated GMA 4500 HD graphic chip shows its orientation on mobile computing. If the X340 can fulfill these requirements without limitation is clarified in the following test.
