I have a Samsung R560 Laptop on its way to me.. The cpu it comes with is a Mobile C2D P7350 (2.0GHz) 1066MHz FSB with 3MB Cache. I currently have a laptop from which I wish to swap the cpu to the R560, its a Mobile C2D T9300 (2.5Ghz) 800Mhz FSB with 6mb Cache.
I know both cpus are pin compatible, 1 generation apart, both are Penryn based, 25/35w TDP, the T9300 comes from a Santa Rosa chipset and the R560 I belive is (Centrino 2) Montivina. The Centrino 2 chipset (PM45) will support the T9300, but am not sure about the Santa Rosa supporting the P7350 ? any ideas, I cant seem to find any info on the net ?
If the cpu swap goes ok, will the end clock speeds be affected ? I know this happens for desktop cpus but not sure for mobile... the T9300 moving from 800fsb -> 1066fsb and the P7850 1066fsb -> 800fsb.
Just looking for some answers to see if its worth me ripping both machines apart (experienced with this kind of thing) and invalidating warranty esp for the new R560.
