Merom T7400 e1705 A01 vs A02 bench results.

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Here is a quick run of tests on A01 vs A02 on my e1705 with a T7400 running. The upgrade worked fine with my yonah back in. Then I just swapped back to Merom and had no issues so it is supported and works.

Tempretures are in line with what I was seeing before.

Idle 28-30 cel.
100% load max'd at 70 cel.

Here are the benches.

Great work rage2122!
I am glad to hear support for merom has not been gimped!
I was hoping for more of an improvement with the A02, but will just be happy merom still works for now

Will if Dell ever get us the bios update need we can much more difference in performance. Dell is making so mad right now. They told me that I was going to get my cpu heatsink today and nothing so I call them up and its in production. What???????????????????????????? I order it from dell spare parts. What a bunch off OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's.

I'd like to see the same tests on the M90 BIOS which explicitly supports Merom, however I believe that the results will be identical to what has been seen here. Looks like the T7400 just runs a lot hotter than the T7200.

Great work on the stats!
post #5 of 7
I think there will be a big difference then rage2122 benchmark test. The reason I say so is that the bios on the M90 will take full advantage of the T7400. Where we don't really have support fo the T7400 and are disable pretty much and having it run on yonah level. Dell wouldn't just have their topof line laptop running something that performed the same as the yonah.

Er, if performance is limited how come my CineForm HD encoder benchmark on my XPS M1710 system is identical to that the developer of the encoder is getting on an Intel-supplied system?

My only issues with the BIOS right now is the temperature the chip runs at. Maybe an M1210 owner could measure temps and performance.
post #7 of 7
the m90 has the exact same chipset as the e170/xps m1710

it is the intel 945 pm. it's the same in them all.
