I'm looking at buying a new laptop pretty soon - it used to be all so easy but these new dual core things have me beat.
Can someone explain the numbering system with the Intel Dual Core processors.. which is faster? they all seem to have numbers that have no meaning to the processor speeds etc.. is there a league/speed table somewhere?

numbering of Intel dual core CPUs for laptops
Core Duo, core name Yonah, L2 cache 2MB
T2050: 1.60GHz, 533MHz FSB
T2250: 1.73GHz, 533MHz FSB
T2300: 1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB
T2400: 1.83GHz, 667MHz FSB
T2500: 2.00GHz, 667MHz FSB
T2600: 2.16GHz, 667MHz FSB
T2700: 2.33GHz, 667MHz FSB
Core 2 Duo, core name Merom, L2 cache 2MB (T5x00) & 4MB (T7x00)
T5200: 1.60GHz, 533MHz FSB
T5500: 1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB
T5600: 1.83GHz, 667MHz FSB
T7200: 2.00GHz, 667MHz FSB
T7400: 2.16GHz, 667MHz FSB
T7600: 2.33GHz, 667MHz FSB
the numbering for its AMD counterpart Turion 64 is a horrible ghetto

Dual-core refers to a CPU that includes two complete execution cores per physical processor. It has combined two processors and their caches and cache controllers onto a single integrated circuit (silicon chip). Dual-core processors are well-suited for multitasking environments because there are two complete execution cores instead of one, each with an independent interface to the frontside bus. Since each core has its own cache, the operating system has sufficient resources to handle most compute intensive tasks in parallel.
Multi-core is similar to dual-core in that it is an expansion to the dual-core technology which allows for more than two separate processors.
Hope this helps?

go to www.intel.com and read the detailed specification for each processor.
however if you want performance and reliability my choice is to use an AMD CPU they may appear to have a lower clock speed (typically amd chips run up to around 2.5Ghz (2500Mhz)) than the intel. however for system stability and FAST performance AMD are damned good. see www.AMD.com.
reading the spec at the manufacturers website is the best option for you. anyone can explain here, but the manufactur data will be more reliable and up to date.
good luck.
