Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T7500

Intel Core 2 Duo T5200

Intel Core 2 Duo T7250

The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 was a mid range dual core processor for laptops. It is based on the old Merom core featuring only 2 MB level 2 cache and Virtualization functions VT-x. The similar called T7200 offers a larger level 2 cache (4MB) and a lower clocked FSB and therefore is a bit faster on the average. However, due to the smaller cache and the lower core voltage, the T7250 should be a bit more power efficient.

Intel Core 2 Duo T7500

The Core 2 Duo T7500 is a middle class dual core CPU for laptops. It is based on the Merom core and features 4MB Level 2 cache.

At the time of announcement, the T7500 was a very fast CPU and had enough performance for games and applications in 2008. In 2009, the Core 2 Duo T7500 performed similar to a middle class Core 2 Duo P7570 or Turion II Ultra M640/M660.

Modern Penryn based Core  2 Duo are a bit faster per MHz (with similar Cache sizes) and are more power efficient.
