Since P8xx is more powerful than P7xx, and I did see the T7700 beat P8600 in almost every thing (except a few games since it had a nvidia 9600gt), I continue to believe in the raw power of a higher cache. Penryn does have a smaller die and a higher fsb, but if there isn't ram to back that up then you end up with less performance than the hardware can output. Even a single MB of cache can make a huge difference. Outside desktop versions and extreme versions, T series are the best core 2 duo mobile cpus. And I seriously doubt the difference between the T9300 and P7550. I used a T9500 for a while and it was incredibly faster than both T7700 and P8600, no comparison there.
@Espio: There's the simple fact of maximum theoretical throughput of ide which is 133mb/s while the lower end of sata is 150mb/s, so why limit the performance when you can reach its default full potential for free?
