P vs. T processors (same speed, same FSB, same cache, less power)

Hi All,

I hope you can help clear up something that makes No sense to me.

When spec-ing a new Latitude (e.g. E5500) I notice I can choose between very similar processors:

e.g.:

Latitude E5500 - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P9400(2.53GHz,1066MHz,6MB)

Latitude E5500 - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9500(2.53GHz,1066MHz,6MB)

Both have the same freq, FSB, cache etc.

I understand that the P processors use less power than the equiv T processor.

So do I get EVERYTHING a T9500 ofeers in a lower power P9400?

If so, why would I pay 40 euros LESS for a better processor?

If the T9500 does more, then what?

Thanks a million,

John
