What is the difference between T4200 and T6600 in CPU?

Intel processors can be divided into four major series from low to high: Celeron Dual-Core, Pentium Dual-Core, Core 2-Core (T-series), Core 2-Core (P-series), and in terms of series, Pentium Dual-Core is a notch lower than the Core T-series. So is the difference in performance huge?

The T4200, as far as I know, is pretty much the best of the Pentium dual-core. It is also the only one in the Pentium dual-core that uses 45nm technology, and others such as the Pentium dual-core T3400 are all 65nm. And the Core dual-core T series is all 45nm technology.

In this respect, the T4200 is the same as the T6600. And their architecture is all penryn, which is also consistent.

Since they share the same core architecture: the Core microarchitecture, their performance is primarily determined by the core frequency, followed by the L2 cache and front-side bus.

Now the comparison is clear.

Core frequency: T4200: , while T6600:

L2 cache: T4200: 1MB, and T6600: 2MB

Front-side bus: T4200: 800MHz T6600 is also 800, which is the same as both (T4200 is the only one in the Pentium dual-core with a front-side bus of 800, and other Pentium dual-cores such as T3400 are 667 or lower).

From the above, it can be seen that the T6600 mainly has advantages over the T4200 in core frequency and L2 cache, but the performance gap caused by this advantage is not huge.

According to relevant tests, the comprehensive performance of T6600 is about 10% higher than that of T4200, which is not very large.

I don't know what you're going to do with the computer, if it's a game, the performance of the T4200 won't be very bad, because the current CPU development is already very advanced, and the bottleneck of the performance of the notebook is that the performance of the graphics card can't keep up, so the key is to match the CPU with the graphics card well.

If you use T4200 with 8600M GT. With T6600 with 9300M GS graphics card. I guarantee that the T4200 performs better than the T6600 in the game.

The main difference is frequency and process. In fact, for ordinary people, the difference is not very big.

Both use the same core architecture: Core microarchitecture, so its performance is mainly determined by the core frequency, then the L2 cache and front-side bus, so the overall performance of the T6600 is higher than that of the T4200, a difference of about 10%.

Here's the difference between the two parameters:

On the main frequency: T4200 is 2GHz;

The T6600 is frequented at the following frequency.

L2 cache:

The T4200 has a L2 cache of 1MB;

The T6600 has a L2 cache of 2MB.

The rest of the parameter information is the same.

The difference is negligible.
