This laptop processor benchmark comparison is similar to the laptop graphics card performance comparison: it gets data from the benchmark tables at Notebookcheck, reduces the amount of data involved (limiting the graph to the most usual processors) and plots them. The graph represents the scores in the 3DMark 06 CPU test, because this benchmark is available for most processors.
Complete processor listing: Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 and X9000, Intel Core 2 Duo T9600, T9500, T9400, T9300, P9500, P8600, P7350, T8300, T8100, T7700, T7500, T7500, T7250, T5550, T5470 and U7700, Intel Pentium Dual Core T2390 and T2330, Intel Atom N270, AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-84, AMD Turion X2 RM-70, AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64 and TL-56.
The case of processors is more difficult than that of graphics cards: the difference in real-life performance is small, even more if we take into account than in many tasks the bottleneck is the hard disk performance, and powerful processors are expensive. If you need the best possible performance for professional purposes, have a look to the original data, that covers more benchmarks (SuperPi, Cinebench R10…). In addition, you will find there some quad-core desktop processors, that are the processors of choice for processor-intensive tasks. Quad-core laptop processors have been announced, but there are not available benchmarks at the moment.
As usual, in case of doubt you can ask in the message boards.

[...] The landscape of graphics cards can become confusing, but luckily we have benchmarks published in many sites that help us to assess the relative performance of each card. To help you decide which one is the optimal graphics card for your laptop, I have drawn a chart covering the most usual laptop graphics cards at the moment. The chart plots 3DMark 06 scores and data are from Notebookcheck tables: this is just an effort to make the available information more graphical and simple. If the graphics card you are interested in is not listed in the chart, it is lileky that it is in the original tables. In addition, you can find useful the laptop processor benchmark comparison.

Can the atom run microsoft excel 2005 and sql 2005 (with visual studio)
Will Access 2005 freeze with the Atom?
Hi Chris,
I don’t think it’s going to freeze, but operating with large spreadsheets and databases can be quite slow. I don’t own any Atom-powered device, but you can find useful this recent review of Atom’s performance at Tom’s Hardware:

It’s the desktop version, but I think it’s very similar.
Chris, the content of your question tells me you have no idea what’s going on in the first place. Don’t worry about the Atom.

is the performance gain sufficient between the T9400 and the P9500 worth the extra £81 i have been quoted for the laptop i’m buying.
It depends. It is worth if you perfom often processor intensive tasks or play demandig games, but to improve general system responsiveness I think the diference is going to be hardly noticeable.

Which 1 is better ? Intel c2d T6500 (2.1ghz)with 512mb Ati graphics or Amd dual core rm-74(2.2ghz) with 1gb Ati graphics
The Intel processor is faster. I don’t know about the graphics card, the actual card model is much more important than the amount of memory.
