difference in cpu's

[jacito]

Can anyone tell me the difference between a T7200 and a E2180? Both are listed as Core 2 Duo, and both are 2.0GHz. I'm comfused.

the T7200 is a mobile processor.

Ok, that helped.

Now, can anyone tell me the difference between a E4500 and a E2200? Both are listed as Core 2 Duo, and both are 2.2GHz. I'm still comfused.

E4500 = 2meg cache
E2200 = 1 meg cache.

So, can I assume it's better to get the E4500?

Better as it has 1 meg more cache? Yes, as for the more cache. Better for you? This all depends on what your budget is, what your plans with your build are, things like that.

I plan on using it for SolidWorks, and playing some games. Nothing major.

the pentium e-class dual core cpus (e2160, 2180, 2200,2220 etc) are 800fsb and are 1mb L2 cache, or 512kb per core. They have a slight clock/clock advantage over Athlon x2, maybe 10-15% on average. The core 2 duo E4xxx cpus (e4300, 4400, 4500, etc) are also 800fsb but, as mentioned have double the cache. They're probably another 5-10% clock/clock over the pentium dual cores. The core 2 duo e6x00 cpus are a mixed bag. the older ones like e6600 and e6700 are 4mb L2 cache and 1066fsb. They then release the e6300/e6400, those are also 1066fsb but only have 2mb L2 cached. Later they released e6320/e6420, which are 1066fsb and 4mb L2 cache. Last july they released the e6x50 cpus, these are 4mb L2 cache and 1333 fsb.
