Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 2-core Socket 478
92 out of 100 medium confidence 12 reviews
This Core 2 Duo T7400 processor is a popular drop-in upgrade for older laptops like ThinkPad T60, Dell Latitude D820, and VAIO notebooks. Most users report a modest speed boost and the ability to run 64-bit OS, with several noting that it pairs well with an SSD and more RAM. The processor arrives well-packaged and often includes free thermal paste, though a few units had leftover old paste. Overall, it's considered a fantastic value for reviving a decade-old machine.
