Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5900

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 is a laptop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It launched in Jul 2008. Rated TDP is 35 W.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 scores 769 in single-core performance and 677 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 722 for overall performance, 1,517 for productivity performance, 1,757 for creator performance, 630 for engineering performance and 2,476 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 339 per core, 339 per thread and 19 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 122. Its performance index is 9, so its overall performance is 91% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 scores 2,590 in integer math, 1,670 in floating-point math, 16,743 in compression, 223 in cryptography, 80 in physics simulation, 239 in vector SIMD, 3 in the prime sieve and 2,356 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 96% below in integer math, 96% below in floating-point math, 93% below in compression, 98% below in cryptography, 93% below in physics simulation, 98% below in vector SIMD, 96% below in the prime sieve and 90% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.20 GHz.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 is a laptop processor and belongs to the Intel Core 2 family. It launched in Jul 2008.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 has 128 KB of L1 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 2.1 MB of cache, or 1.06 MB per core.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB and L2 at 2 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 94% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T5900 has a rated TDP of 35 W.
