History
-
The Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T6400 was introduced to the public under the codename "Penryn," in early 2009. The Pentium Dual-Core Mobile T3200 was introduced under the codename "Merom-2M," in late 2008.
Specifications
-
The T6400 and T3200 both have a core processing frequency of 2 GHz. They both also have the same socket type (Socket P), as well as the same package dimensions (1.38-by-1.38 inches). The T6400 is capable of higher bus speeds, with a maximum capability of 800 MHz. The T3200 is slightly lower, with a bus speed capability of 667 MHz. The T3200 has a clock multiplier of 12, while the T6400 has a clock multiplier of 10. Both processors are made up of two cores on one die (dual-core). The T6400 has another advantage over the T3200 in Level 2 cache size, with a size of 2 MB (shared), compared to the T3200's 1 MB (shared).

Features
-
Both processors utilize a number of the same technologies, including EM64T and Enhanced SpeedStep. EM64T allows both processors to excel when used with 64-bit applications, by harnessing 4 gigabytes of RAM, or more (if available). Enhanced SpeedStep allows each processor to save power but lowering their frequency and operating voltage during times that they are not under heavy stress. The T6400 has several other power-related features that the T3200 does not, including Deep Sleep Mode and Dynamic Cache sizing.
