Intel Core Duo - Model Numbers and Clock Speeds

The Core Duo is launching at four speeds as well as in a low voltage variety.  Once more, Intel has changed their naming system for processors, this time they've settled on a 5 character model number with the first letter denoting power consumption and the remaining four digits indicating performance.  For example, the highest end Core Duo processor being announced today is the T2600 which runs at 2.16GHz.  The fastest low voltage Core Duo is the L2400, but it only runs at 1.66GHz. 

A complete rundown of the new CPUs, model numbers and clock speeds is listed below:

 CPU Name   Clock Speed Pricing (with 945GM chipset and wireless solution)
Intel Core Duo T2600 2.16GHz $706
Intel Core Duo T2500 2.00GHz $492
Intel Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz $363
Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz $310
Intel Core Solo T1300* 1.66GHz $278
Intel Core Duo L2400 1.66GHz $385
Intel Core Duo L2300 1.50GHz $353

*Note: The Core Solo processor is a single core version of Yonah.

    Lets hope that AMD release Turion's X2 with a even more reduced power consumption and DDR2 support that will be really "Sweet".

    Se imaginan un Turion64 X2 o un Core Duo combinado con un x1800 Mobility Radeon eso seria la combinacion perfecta para 'Lan Parties'. Sin la necesidad de andar con equipo pesado.

    Can you imagine a notebook with Turion X2 or Core Duo matched with a X1800 Mobility Radeon. That will be the perfect combination for Lan-Parties. Without the need for carrying heavy parts from your Desktop @ home.



    Just imagine that ....

    Very impressive.

    yeah, me too i'm curious about the Apple products coming with Yonah, and how they stack up to X2 athlons PC Yonah notebooks...

    ...and overclocking !!!

    PS - BTW did you try to overclock the ASUS Yonah notebook ?

    no

    Page loads took forever but the review was interesting.

    I'm still interested to see what Apple does with these chips in their iBooks next week.

    The battery life of the T60 was impressive - 227 minutes for DVD playback. Finally, I can watch an LOTR episode on one battery!

    The release of only 1 single core chip speaks volumes - intel is ditching single core chips when they can. They want to push dual core hard.

    In DVD playback the DVD unit consume some of the power... I wonder if playing a DVD from a virtual drive or from a network would prolong battery life

    Very lovely power consumption. I suppose power consumption will be a bit higher when both cores are at 100% usage but most of us dont keep our CPU usage pegged at 100% when using a notebook and specially not if we care about power consumption at all. It'd be nice if Intel had decided to go to 90nm on the chipsets but I suppose their power consumption is not that high to begin with and Intel needs a use for its 130nm fabs...
  • Calin - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link

    off course the power consumption will be higher with both cores at 100% usage - but in this case the "work per watt" is greater, as processors don't use all the power in the system.
    Just that people would prefer a laptop that consume a battery charge faster but finish the work much faster than the other way around.

    Intel's chipset shortage problem is because all current MCH's are still on 130nm, which is maxed out in the fabs. They would love to get the 90nm Broadwater/Crestline chips out the door to free up 130nm capacity to build low end parts again.
