Solved! U-5400 vs upgrade

[joe rose]

Hello I am considering an HPdm3t which comes with a Pentium u-5400 processor,but also as a 1.33 upgrade option. Is there significant difference, will it make the computer much faster?

Hello joe rose;
The i3-380UM will be a substantial upgrade over the Pentium U5400 - more than the 1.2Ghz to 1.33Ghz 'speed' would seem to indicate.
It won't be the 'much faster' type of improvement but when you're talking about the lower power CULV type CPUs every bit of extra performance helps a lot.

Hopefully, this deal will help close the gap in price between the two CPUs. HP dm3t deal
