CPU and Memory Performance
We will measure the performance of the Core 2 Duo T7400 and it’s memory controller by using SiSoft Sandra 2007 and ScienceMark 2.0. These are low-level tests which do not replicate real-world results, but offer a good standard measurement to compare CPU and memory performance across platforms. It’s worth noting that this is the first time we have used SiSoft Sandra 2007 here on PC Perspective.
CPU Performance
The new Core 2 Duo T7400 has some serious improvement in terms of floating point and integer operations. If there was anything lacking from laptop CPUs it was the poor math / number crunching performance. It would appear Intel has addressed this in their latest mobile chip.
Cinebench 9.5 is a nice multi-threaded 3D-rendering benchmark that runs through different rendering configurations and scores the CPU and graphics adapter on its ability. The above results show that the Core 2 Duo T7400 has a significant lead on the Core Duo T2600 confirming that the floating point operations on the Core 2 Duo is vastly improved.
Memory Performance
Though SiSoft Sandra does not show an improvement in memory throughput, ScienceMark 2.0 does. We know that the memory controller on the T7400 has been improved with better caching and the ability to reorder memory operations for improved performance, and it would appear Science Mark shows these improvements better.

The date is 7/28/2018 and im still using a Gateway CX210X I bought new back in the year 2007 to view this website and write this comment …. Over 10yrs later; i’ve upgraded to modern windows10 (this computer came with Xp!) and it still works fine for a mobile solution. I dare say this CPU is just as fast or faster than some modern ones. Intel did a really good job in over-building this thing. I have no issue with modern mobile workloads (about anything except gaming) at all. Feels like a slightly slower i3 to me.
