So all the new slightly older low-end and mid-range system use pretty much the following processors:

T3200 2.0Ghz FSB667Mhz 1MB 65nm
T4200 2.0Ghz FSB800MHz 1MB 45nm?
T5800 2.0GHz FSB800Mhz 2MB 65nm
T6400 2.0Ghz FSB800Mhz 2MB 45nm?

According to http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php the T3200 (2 brains) actually outscores the T5800 even though the T5800 (4 brains) has the prestigious Centrino label. The T3200 even gives the T7300 (5 brains) a good run of its money.

The 4200 and 6400 are not listed on the Intel web page yet. My question are:
Will the T4200 and T6400 offer any additional value over the T3200, does anybody have any benchmarks they can share?

Why hasn't the (likely) shrink cut thermal requirements (make them P instead of T)?

How much do you think Passmark has to do with system design (aka crappy DDR2-6400 sticks with loose timings)?


Other thoughts:
T4200->T6400 $50 (HP)
T3200->T5800 $50 (HP)
C M 560->T3200 $50 (Dell)
C M 560-> T6400 $100 (Dell)
(Best price Google Shopping, OEM)
Celeron M 560 $43
T3200 $63.80
T4200 $147.29
T5800 $102.60
T6400 $210.98
T7300 $99.05

If you want to ask a question...well, you need a question first. There's no sense in there.

As for the benchmark...those test cannot be considered reliable. There's no way to compare old CPUs like K7's against modern ones and get reliable, comparable results. They're too different from one another. I would find another place to look up marks. I'm not sure how Tom's charts are as of late.
