Intel Core 2 Duo T9800

The Core 2 Duo T9800 is a higher-end mobile processor, released by Intel on a fifth-generation Centrino platform, codenamed Montevina. The dual-core, 45nm, 64-bit CPU clocks in at 2.93 GHz, and features an L2 cache of 6 MB.

The unit is a step up from the T9600, which clocks in at 2.80 GHz, but the T9800 lacks the T9600's "Turbo Boost" technology. Although Intel planned to keep T-series TDP values under 30 W, this unit has a TDP of 35 W. To older Centrino models, the T9800 adds SSE4.1 support and a higher front side bus speed of 1066 MHz. After a short delay, Montevina CPUs were released in July 2008. This model is unavailable at retail.
