Need to know regarding Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile processors. Is there any difference between the two sockets? I am able to find one topic on another forum about this and it mentioned that they are both the same, PGA478 being used as abbreviation for PPGA478.

Copying text from the packaging specifications below as example:

Intel? Core?2 Duo Processor T7250 (2M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

Sockets Supported PBGA479, PPGA478

Intel? Core?2 Duo Processor T9300 (6M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

Sockets Supported BGA479, PGA478

Intel? Core?2 Duo Processor T9500 (6M Cache, 2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

Sockets Supported BGA479, PGA478, PPGA478

Not interested in BGA479, just need to confirm that PGA478/PPGA478 are both the same please. Another thing I would like to ask, T7250 above is based on 65nm with 35W TDP - same TDP remains for T9300 and T9500 but they are 45nm based. So what kind of temperature difference will be there between T7250 and T9300 or T9500?

Yes they are functionally identical, extra P just meaning plastic.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
