Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T5500

Intel Core 2 Duo T5870

► remove from comparison

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 is an entry level dual core processor based on the old Merom core. It features a reduced level 2 cache to 2 MB and no virtualization functions. Furthermore, the clock rate of 2 GHz is relatively slow.

Intel Core 2 Duo T5900

► remove from comparison

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 is a Merom based dual core processor for laptops. It was later succeeded by the Penryn based Core 2 Duo T6600, which is produced in 45nm and due to core enhancements a bit faster.

Intel Core 2 Duo T5500

► remove from comparison

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 is an entry-level dual core processor for laptops. It is based on the Merom-2M core and therefore manufactured in 65nm. It does not support Virtualization functions VT-x of the Merom core and offers only a low clock speed and 2MB level 2 cache.
