Question:
Inspiron 9400/E1705: Performance Diff. Between Core Duos?
I already ordered mine with an Intel Core Duo T2300 Processor (1.66 GHz). However I've been wondering the performance difference compared to some of the faster Core Duos.
As far as I can tell the only difference is clock speed: all of them are built with a 65nm process, have 2MB L2 cache shared between the 2 cores, and 667Mhz Front Side Bus. The T2600 is clocked at 2.16 GHz, the T2500 at 2 GHz, the T2400 at 1.83 Ghz and the T2300 at 1.66 Ghz.
Would all you lucky guys with i9400's mind posting some benchmarks or Super Pi results?

E1705 T2500 2.0 Ghz
2 GB 667 mhz Memory
Windows Media Center
WUXGA
Super Pi 2M 1:15 after clean reboot AC power
1:28 with TV on and 16 internet windows
32M - 29:03 77 processes AC
If I got the 2.16 Ghz processor I guess it would be 8% faster per chip?

I just found an interesting comparison between Pentium 4, Core Duo, Pentium M/D, AMD Athlon XP/64 and PowerPC processors at: http://www.systemshootouts.org/processors.html
The site concludes that:
- A Core Duo T2300 (1.67 GHz) = Pentium 4 4.0 Ghz = Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4 GHz).
- A Core Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz) = Pentium 4 4.4 Ghz.
- A Core Duo T2500 (2 GHz) = Pentium 4 4.8 Ghz.
Of course, those comparison are to be taken as a rough reference at best.

Man that is insanely fast! I think the 1.66 would get around 1:20-1:25. My AMD 3200+ 2ghz overclocked to 2.25 ghz gets 1:29.

Indeed, definitely better than I could have expected!
Anyone with a T2300?

An interesting experiment would be to run it twice, I think it is single threaded so I would assume you could run2 of them at the same time and get almost the same scores. This is where the real spead up should be seen.

That's the time it does Super Pi on 1 processor. If both were working maybe half the time.
I regret not getting the T2600 processor when after discounts it would have only cost me $240 more. But $240 can get me a lot of other stuff like a nice 250gb USB hard drive + other stuff.
I'm glad to find out my processor is faster than an XP 4000+, because actually I am an AMD fan, and all my regular computers are AMD. But my Abit Kr7A133 / AMD XP 2100+ / ATI X800 Pro 1.5 GB computer is a better gaming maching than my laptop - it got 4099 3d mark 05.

2M SuperPi on my system in my sig: 1m18s.
Note I have formatted but my system is NOT completely set up yet. I just ran Pi a sec ago and got that. I was installing world of warcraft during the pi run.

I am going to have to run SuperPi again on my machine. I think last time I ran it I was at 1:29. Specs in my sig...sounds about right though huh?

1m14s in 2m superpi but i didn't bother to restart.
