Question about Mobile CPUs - Napa to Santa Rosa

[asdftt123]

For those who aren't aware, the Apple Macbook recent got a new upgrade to the Santa Rosa platform (800 mhz FSB). I'm considering purchasing a 2.2ghz Core 2 Duo model (2.0 and 2.2ghz offered), and I'm wondering how much of a difference of a performance gain this would be when compared to a 2.16ghz C2D running on the Napa platform (667mhz FSB) of the previous generation of Macbooks. Does the increased FSB bring about a noticeable performance gain? Also, are these any mobile benchmarks for this and does Santa Rosa bring about any other changes? Thanks.

Santa Rosa brings with it more improvements than just an increased FSB. See here for a full explanation of the differences between the older Napa platform and the new Santa Rosa platform. Hope that helps.
