I'm considering getting a new (used) laptop. I've got a Pentium-M Banias Thinkpad, and it undervolts really nicely in RMClock - down to .8v @ 600 MHz or so.
I'm considering getting an X60 or X60s - the only difference is the processor. An L2400 and a T2400.
From Intel, the differences are:
L2400 is a 15w TDP part, 1.0V - 1.212V, 1.66 GHz
T2400 is a 31w TDP part, 1.1625V - 1.30V, 1.83 GHz
From what I've experienced on a Core 2, you can't undervolt below .950v - hard lock, apparently, and I assume that I'll be able to get either down to that.
1. Does .09v @ 1.83 GHz really make for a 31w TDP part, or is Intel just being conservative?
2. Since machines are mostly at idle (web browsing), and assume I get either down to .95v, won't they use the same amount of power? (ie: not worth thinking about)
Essentially, an X60s will be guaranteed to run at what I might/probably will be able to get an X60 to run at, right?
Thanks!
