Intel Core Duo T2700

The Intel Core Duo T2700 is a mobile processor from the Core Duo (Yonah) generation, built on Intel's 65 nm process. It integrates two physical cores and two threads, operating at a base clock of 2.33 GHz with no boost clock. The processor carries 151 million transistors on a 90 mm² die, with a 64 KB L1 cache and a 2 MB L2 cache. It supports DDR1 memory, lacks ECC support, and has a TDP of 31 W. The part, numbered SL9JP, targets the Intel Socket 479 platform and is marked as end-of-life, with a release date of 2006-06-27. In the benchmark database, the T2700 holds a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, yet its average benchmark score is 0, and no nearest rival data is available.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark array for the Intel Core Duo T2700 is empty, and the recorded average benchmark score is 0. This absence of measured scores means that direct performance deltas against specific rivals cannot be computed from the database. However, the processor's percentile placement is 50, which places it exactly at the median of all CPUs in the database. This percentile is a relative indicator, suggesting that, based on the database's internal ranking, the T2700 sits in the middle of the performance distribution. Without raw scores, the 50th percentile cannot be translated into a specific speed advantage or deficit. The base clock of 2.33 GHz, combined with two cores and two threads, provides the only frequency-based reference. The lack of a boost clock means the operating frequency is fixed, which simplifies thermal and power behavior but caps peak single-thread throughput. The 2 MB L2 cache and 64 KB L1 cache are the available memory hierarchy numbers; the absence of an L3 cache and the lack of memory bandwidth figures further limit quantitative analysis. The TDP of 31 W is a notable figure, indicating a modest power envelope for a mobile part. The process node of 65 nm and the transistor count of 151 million give a sense of the physical scale, but without benchmark scores, these do not translate into performance percentages. The data shows that the T2700's performance profile is defined by its clock and cache configuration rather than by any recorded benchmark results. The 0 average score is a critical caveat: it implies that no valid benchmark runs have been submitted or accepted for this processor, so any performance inference must rely on architectural characteristics alone.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field in the FACT PACK is empty, meaning the database provides no direct rival names, scores, or deltaPct values for the Intel Core Duo T2700. Consequently, a rival-by-rival comparison is not possible from the supplied data. The only comparative metric is the percentileVsAllCpus value of 50, which positions the T2700 at the median of all CPUs tracked by the database. This percentile is a global ranking, not a head-to-head delta. Without rival names, the analysis cannot state that the T2700 is ahead of or behind any specific processor. The architectural attributes—2 cores, 2 threads, 2.33 GHz base clock, 2 MB L2, 64 KB L1, DDR1 memory support, and 31 W TDP—are the only differentiators available. The integrated graphics are described as "On certain motherboards (Chipset feature)", which indicates that graphics capability is not inherent to the CPU but depends on the motherboard chipset. The memory support is limited to DDR1, which is an older standard. The production status is end-of-life, and the release date is 2006-06-27. The part number SL9JP and the multiplier being locked (multiplierUnlocked: false) are additional identifiers. The socket is Intel Socket 479. In the absence of rival data, the comparison must be framed against the database's median percentile. The 50th percentile suggests that the T2700 is neither an outlier nor a leader; it sits in the middle of the performance distribution. This is a qualitative statement, as no exact scores are available to compute a percentage difference. The lack of a boost clock and L3 cache further differentiates it from more modern parts, but again, no numeric deltas are provided.

Who Should Consider It

The Intel Core Duo T2700 is a mobile processor with a 31 W TDP, making it suitable for portable systems that prioritize power efficiency. Its 2 cores and 2 threads, running at a base clock of 2.33 GHz, indicate that it can handle workloads that do not require heavy parallel processing. For gaming, the absence of integrated graphics (only available on certain motherboards as a chipset feature) means a discrete GPU is necessary; the CPU itself provides no graphical output. The 2 MB L2 cache and 64 KB L1 cache are modest, and the DDR1 memory support limits memory bandwidth. Given the 50th percentile ranking, the T2700 is positioned as a mid-range performer. For office applications—such as word processing, spreadsheet management, and web browsing—the dual-core configuration at 2.33 GHz is adequate, though the lack of a boost clock means no temporary frequency increases. For content creation tasks like video editing or 3D rendering, the 2-thread limit is a bottleneck, as these workloads scale with thread count. The production status of end-of-life indicates that the T2700 is no longer manufactured, so it is only available on the used market. The release date of 2006-06-27 places it in the mid-2000s era. The locked multiplier prevents overclocking, so the base clock is the maximum frequency. The TDP of 31 W suggests that cooling requirements are modest, but no cooler specifications are provided. The lack of ECC memory support means it is not suited for error-critical server workloads. The socket is Intel Socket 479, which is specific to certain motherboards. The process node of 65 nm and transistor count of 151 million are historical facts. Overall, the T2700 is best suited for legacy mobile systems running basic productivity software, where its 2.33 GHz base clock and 2 MB L2 cache are sufficient. For modern gaming or heavy multi-threaded creation, the 2-thread limit and DDR1 memory support would be restrictive, but the data does not provide specific performance scores to quantify this.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The Intel Core Duo T2700 has 2 cores and 2 threads, meaning there is no simultaneous multithreading (SMT) support. Consequently, the single-thread and multi-thread workloads share the same physical core count. The base clock of 2.33 GHz is the only frequency, as no boost clock is present, so the processor operates at a constant rate. The L1 cache is 64 KB, and the L2 cache is 2 MB; these caches are the only levels present, with no L3 cache. For single-threaded tasks, the performance is directly tied to the 2.33 GHz clock and the 64 KB L1 cache. The 2 MB L2 cache provides a reasonably sized buffer for frequently accessed data. For multi-threaded tasks, the 2-thread limit means that only two threads can execute concurrently. This is a significant constraint for workloads that scale with thread count, such as video rendering or scientific simulations. The data shows no benchmark scores, so the actual single-thread vs multi-thread performance ratio cannot be quantified. However, the architectural parameters indicate that the T2700 will have a modest single-thread capability due to the 2.33 GHz clock, while multi-thread capability is capped at two threads. The 50th percentile ranking suggests that, relative to all CPUs, the T2700 is in the middle, but this does not differentiate between single-thread and multi-thread performance. The lack of a boost clock means that the processor cannot temporarily increase frequency for single-thread bursts, which is a common feature in modern CPUs. The DDR1 memory support and the 31 W TDP further characterize the platform. The production status is end-of-life, and the release date is 2006-06-27. The socket is Intel Socket 479, and the integrated graphics are only available on certain motherboards as a chipset feature. The multiplier is locked, so the base clock is fixed. In summary, the T2700's single-thread performance is driven by its 2.33 GHz base clock and 2 MB L2 cache, while its multi-thread performance is limited to two threads. The absence of a boost clock and SMT means that the processor cannot adapt to different workload types, providing a consistent but unexceptional performance profile.
