I wish I knew the exact implications of the higher bus speeds on the 950. For instance the graphics bus is 30% and the graphics max dynamic frequency is 65% faster. I'm guessing the graphics processing is done by a separate GPU that doesn't have much to do with the core. So does it have better...

So the i3-380M is clearly the faster processor. However, the B950 seems to have a faster system bus, memory bus, and graphics frequency. Does this mean from system standpoint that a B950-based laptop/pc can be faster in some situations? Product Name i3-380M B950...

I think the difference between i3 and B950 will be minimal. Better to spend the price difference on a (faster) SDD.

mrmoo500Makes you wonder why ssd's and HDD's have such low storage capacities. 2 TB flash is simply not possible today. Highest density:size ratio NAND on the market is IM Flash 8 GB 20 nm part, at 118 mm^2. For 2 TB, you would need 470 cm^2 planar real estate. This thing is probably 16 cm^2...

2 TB flash is simply not possible. Highest density:size ratio NAND on the market is IM Flash 8 GB 20 nm part, at 118 mm^2. For 2 TB, you would need 470 cm^2 planar real estate. This thing is probably 16 cm^2, maybe dual stacked - 14 times too small. To get to 2 TB from the currently-assumed max...
