The Core 2 Duo T9800, which is already the subject of rumors for several weeks, and beyond the first timestre of 2009 at a price of 530 dollars per thousand processors purchased (380 euros excluding tax to the current court). This dual-core processor clocked at 2.93 GHz is supported by 6 MB cache second level and has a FSB 1 066 MHz, all at a reasonable TDP of 35 watts.

The second is the Core 2 Quad Q9000, a quad-core clocked at 2.0 GHz with 6 MB of L2 cache and an FSB 1 066 MHz. The Core 2 Duo P9600 about him is a double hearts with the same specifications, except that its rate rises to 2.66 GHz.

I'd like to have a Q9000 or P9600 on my notebook although the price of notebooks with these processor may be quite expensive. :whistling

Someone may tell me the difference between the lines T and P?

The series ' T ' has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) 35Watt while the series' P' for a TDP 25Watt, there is also the series of Quad 'Q' which has a TDP of 45Watt, the better for a laptop is the P series that gives less heat, and the P9600 will have a TDP of 45W and not 25Watt as described in this news.
