Intel CPU - which are Penryn?

[rossyl]

From chatting it appears that the new Core 2 Duo's that are the "penryn" type[e are the ones to go for.

from looking at wikipedia the following coming out in early Jan are definately penryn

Core 2 Duo T8100
Core 2 Duo T8300
Core 2 Duo T9300
Core 2 Duo T9500

However it is unclear whether the following chips are Penryn as they are not stated as being - however are Socket P

Core 2 Duo T7500
Core 2 Duo T7700
Core 2 Duo T7800

Anyone know?

Is there likely to be a large difference between the current T7500-T7800 in comparison to the T8100+?

Or is it presently unknown?

The mobile penryns are launched on Jan 6 2008. So hopefully we will not have to wait too long.

They aren't quad core just a different architecture and with the 45nm should consume less power.

Good to hear that the 7500 is quick! I was either going to get the lowest penryn, or the T7800 assuming that it goes down in price once the penryn is launched.
