Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core2 Solo SU3500 was positioned as a processor for mobile applications. At the time, it was a remarkable choice for this device class. Its strengths lay particularly in its high energy efficiency and low power consumption. The advanced 45-nanometer manufacturing process was crucial for this.

This Penryn architecture enabled particularly economical operation. The advantages were clearly noticeable in the battery life of many notebooks. Despite its single core, this processor delivered consistently solid performance. A generous 3 MB L2-Cache noticeably supported fast data processing.

This contributed significantly to the responsive use of everyday applications at the time. Its low heat development was another very positive aspect of this CPU. Thus, the Intel Core2 Solo SU3500 was ideally suited for compact and lightweight devices. With 13 GB/s memory bandwidth, it was well equipped for its tasks.

We appreciated the ability to enable and fuel slim notebook designs. It proved that even a single core could achieve and deliver a lot.
  • High energy efficiency
  • 45-nanometer manufacturing process
  • 3 MB L2-Cache
  • Ideal for mobile and compact devices
