Toshiba ups the game with laptop duo [via reghardware]
nice
Now I may be wrong but looking into the 2 cpus offered in these notebooks the t7250 is a core duo 2 w/ 2mb L2 cache not 4mb L2 cache. I cannot find any processor listed for a t7250 w/ 4mb L2 cache.
Yup, you are totally right Vince….I have been looking the L2 cache details for T7250 everywhere. Even on Intel’s website T7250 has 2MB Cache not 4MB.
Circuitycity.com, BestBuy.com and Toshibadirect.com, all mention that T7250 has a 4MB L2 cache but it does not seem to me that they are right
