T6400 vs t8100

[snap88]

Hi everyone,
I am about to buy a dell laptop, but I ain't sure wich cpu I want in it.
They offer it with a t6400 and a t8100. But for the last one you have to pay 110 € more...
Now my question is: is it woth it ?

Thx in advance

Probably not worth spending the extra 110€.
T6400 2.0Ghz T8100 2.1Ghz

Is there a big difference between those 2 cpu's ? Or not at all?
thx for your help

the T8xxx series has 3mb of cache and the T6 has 2mb I think.

get the T81 if you use programs which need a lot of memory.

is the difference in cache memory important in for example everyday use?/gaming?
thx in advance!

What will you be using the laptop for? The T8100 is the better CPU but it mightn't be worth the extra cash if you're just going to be doing things that the T6400 will do the same job with.

multimedia/working-> powerpoint/word etc./ some gaming occasiunally

T6400 should do just fine then, it'll keep up with whatever mobility graphics card Dell have slapped into it.
