Packard Bell’s Easynote is based on a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo processor, which can’t match the 1.8GHz and 2GHz processors used by some of its rivals. Even so, the Easynote’s performance is strong enough to cope with office software, digital photography and video editing.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)
