The letter at the front of the processor model number is an indication of the performance family. What's noteworthy is that instead of the T5450 or T5550 (1.67GHz or 1.83GHz respectively, both with 2MB cache and a 667MHz FSB), users now get a P8400. (Only changes relative to P-6831 are listed)Ĭore 2 Extreme X7900 (2.80GHz 4MB 667FSB)Ģx200GB Seagate Momentus 7200.2 in RAID 0Īs mentioned, the new chipset and processor plus the updated wireless adapter are all part of the Centrino 2 branding, which on its own doesn't mean a lot. Gateway P-6831 FX Specificationsĥ-in-1 Flash Reader (MS, MS Pro, MMC, SD, xD) Below are the feature lists for both laptops. Centrino 2 isn't inherently a major upgrade over Centrino, but the P-7811 does change virtually every internal component compared to the P-6831. Centrino 2 essentially consists of an upgraded chipset, one of the latest Penryn processors with a 1066 FSB, and one of the two new Intel WiFi chipsets.
While the Centrino name is largely marketing, there's no arguing with the success that Intel achieved with the brand. For one, this is one of the first Centrino 2 laptops that we've tested. Dig into the internals and we find a slew of changes. If you want a quick look at the laptop, the appearance is unchanged from the P-6831. The core of the P-7811 is largely the same as the P-6831, at least when looking at the outside.
