Intel Core Duo Speed?

No, you can not say this. It depends on the programming of the application. In several benchmark tests a higher clocked single core CPU is still faster than a dual core CPU.\nI found a good article where the two processors Intel Pentium D 820 (dual core) and Pentium 4 670 (single core HT) are put in opposition.\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/pentiumd-820/index.x?pg=1

you technically couldn't make them the same speed, but unless you are saying like a Intel P4 2.8ghz a Celeron at 2.8 and an AMD Athlon at 2.8, well, the Athlon will beat everything from the Intel 2.8s to about 3.77s to even 4ghz for Intel due to the difference inthe AMD cpu architecture.

definitely intel core 2 duo...but if u r willing to wait a while opt for intel quad core....also to get more info on the processors try google...type.....''benchmark: Name of processor''\n\nin the market intel dual core and core 2 duo are available...but remember that dual core has only 1 processor and the other is a logical unit, while core 2 duo has 2 physical processors

AMD 64 bit dual core. The older CPUs are 32 bit so this is twice fast.It runs at higher bus speeds and blows the doors of of anything that Intel makes. Also it allows you to run alot faster RAM Memory sticks and with the board below as long as you run all the same brand of sticks it will run them in the dual channel mode which is twice as fast.With 4 slots for the memory your talking being able to build a kick butt computer. I think I paid maybe 200 buck for the board and CPU. Intel makes a 64 bit but unless all your drivers are made to run with a 64 bit you have nothing but major problems stuff wont work (cd, dvd,video,sound,and so on) get the picture. Amd 64 on the on the other hand is compatiable with either 32 or 64. Also it is verrrry able to be overclocked (speed up the bus speed) I have a AMD 3200+ 64 bit it is a 2 gig CPU. I have it on a GIGABYTE GA-K8NSC-939 motherboard, the 939 is how many pins are on the bottom of the CPU the higher the better and 939 is the highest right now. By pressing the delete button at start up it will take me into the bios settings setup so if you want to I can change them. One of the nice things with this board is the it allows to change the bus speeds and AGP (accelerated graphics port settings) or basicly the port that your video card is plugged into this nice because you can also speed it up to. Nice for gaming or watching videos. I have turned up the bus speed set on mine without having to turn up the voltage (which might cause the CPU to overheat if set to high) the AMD will handle a voltage up to 4.9 volts right now mine is around 3 volts get the picture AMD kicks a+s. I have my CPU overclocked to 2.41 gigs. So basicly my 2 gig CPU is now a 2.41 gig CPU. Ive had it running like this for a year without ever having any problems at all, infact this bad boy boots up in about 20seconds,not bad!!! Any computer tech will tell you to GO WITH THE AMD they out bench mark and totaly out perform any thing Intel makes!!!!!! Intel makes a quad-core but basicly AMD doesnt care because their dual still blows Intels quad away. Check the bench marks for yourself.\n\nTuea - You have it it on the head!!!!!!!!!!\n\nZeus

Intel Core 2 Duo for laptops.\nIntel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 for desktops.\n\nAMD doesn't even come close.

AMD and Intel processors over 1.5ghz can (definatly dual core processors from amd or intel could) have a nice day

You cannot actually make the processor operate any faster (the most you can do is enter setup while just turning on the PC and choosing to set the processor speed to fastest). However, if you would like to speed up the time it takes to turn on the PC and get things going, go to Start --> Run --> Type "msconfig". Now go to the last tab called startup and uncheck any programs that are from your program installations (make sure you know what each does) and leave only the firewall checked. Though dont touch system programs such as Systray. Now press ok and restart the PC. This will eliminate the stealth programs running in the background at all times and eliminate them from slowing down your PC.

D = Dual Core. Two cores are better than one and the price is right. It's like having two CPU's instead of one to a degree, it's not totally the same as there is the I/O bottleneck.

Intel Core 2 Duo.\n\nRead the system info. Its clear.

Acutally, Intel Core Duo ONLY refers to the dual core Centrino systems with a Intel "Yonah" Processor, Intel 945 express chipset, and Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. (I'm pretty sure that the laptop can still be called "Core Duo" if the wireless card is replaced with a similiar non-Intel-brand one.)\n\nThe processor speed is the maximum non-overclocked speed at which EACH processor runs. Although there are two processors, you'll never get close to doubling the speed of a single processor. Practical gaming, business, and synthesis benchmarks show that average improvement in using 2 processors is anywhere from 0-30%. Multithreaded processes will see more benefit.

no. not even if both cores can process the same task. but the CPU is faster when processing multiple tasks but not at the double speed. keep in mind that both cores uses one and the same resource - the system bus.

I depends on what you want. personally i prefer AMD X2's but that will soon change to AMD 4x4 and 8x8. Core 2 Duo's are ok, but i dont like intel. thats personal preference i guess. really the best chip in theroy is the quad core intel. notice i said in theory. IT;s slightly buggy in real life. dual core Xenons are good too and will give u a server pretty much. also remember that a processor can only be as good as the rest of the computer lets it be. if you only have 256mb of ram, no matter how fast the processor, your performance is gonna be terrible.

The core 2 duo. Why? Because it has 2 processing cores which tremendously increase it's multitasking power over the 3.0 Ghz single-core processor. Also, the core 2 duo is 64-bit, unlike the P4 which is 32 bit. This is a good iinvestment for the not too distant future since we should start seeing more and more 64 bit programs cropping up in the next few years. 64-bit processors can also deal with far greater amounts of RAM than 32-bit processors. Finally, chances are that the core 2 duo has a faster system bus and more cache memory than the P4. So like I said, go for the core 2 duo.

Pentium D is way faster then P4, however alot of software does not suppor the dual core, so its basically same as P4 Unless ur software has support for that.

The Core Duo is a dual-core 32-bit chip, meaning each core has a 32-bit pipeline, giving similar performance to a comparable 64-bit chip.It is "dual core," meaning it has two processing engines, which share the processing load. Each core has a clock speed of 1.83 gigahertz and shares 2 megabytes of L2 cache. Although the result is not 3.66 gigahertz of performance, it is significantly more than a single, 1.83-gigahertz processor can deliver. That's plenty of performance for everyday computing tasks. Equally important, the Core Duo has the latest generation of power-saving technologies so that you get the maximum combination of performance and battery life when you are unplugged.\nhttp://toxic99.blogspot.com

We are talking about levels of cache here.  The previous post is talking about the amount of level 1 cache as compared to what the original poster is talking about which is level 2 cache.  Am I wrong?\n\n\nBottom line, the pentium is faster.  This is due to the pentium's amount of cache that is "closer" to the processor.
