For testing this new Sandy Bridge mobile platform it makes sense to compare it to last year's Arrandale notebook platform and to the two-year-old Montevina notebook platform. This will show performance increases over a 2-year time period as most of our readers upgrade every 1-2 years.  Our legacy platforms are the ASUS K42F notebook with an Intel Core i5 540M processor (above right) and an HP Pavilion DV4-1555dx with an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 processor (above left). Both notebooks feature the same CPU clock speed rated at 2.53GHz.
