can anyone tell me the diff. of this two...

i'm a little bit confuse


thanks..

Core 2 Duo is the name of a CPU series from Intel, with 2 cores on the cpu.

Dual Core is the general term for CPUs with 2 cores, like Quad Core is the general term for CPUs with 4 cores.

 

[soulreaver2040]

which one is better?

 

[Princess Garnet]

Did you not understand what was just explained? How can you compare one specific thing against what it is?

A Core 2 Duo is a specific dual core CPU.

A dual core CPU is any CPU with two cores.

Asking which is better between a dual core CPU and a Core 2 Duo is not practical. What you're asking is like asking "What is better? A console or a Playstation 2?". You can't compare them becuase a Playstation is a console, and "a console" that you're asking to compare it against can be anything.

As far as the best dual core CPUs go, the Core 2 Duos are the best overall.

i understand now ....


thank you so much...


im going to buy a core 2 duo computer....:wub::wub::drool:

 

[Haithm]

Guys, by dual core maybe he meant the
Pentium Dual-Core


From Wikipedia: In terms of features, price and performance at a given clock frequency, Pentium Dual-Core processors are positioned above Celeron but below Core and Core 2 microprocessors in Intel's product range.
Pentium Dual-Core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

More/proper info is required to give a good answer.
It was all just.... too vague. >_<

 

[gamefreak94]

If he meant "Pentium dual-core" then those are virtually the same as Core 2 Duos except with smaller L2 caches and lower FSB.

 

[Princess Garnet]

They have lower default clock speeds as well.

 

[gamefreak94]

In general yeah, but the E6300 is clocked at 2.8GHz, which is more then any C2D in the E4xxx, E6xxx and all but two CPUs in the E7xxx line.

 

[boogerlad]

however, pentium D is a massive fail.

 

[ElijahTW]

Pentium D =/= Pentium Exxxx

Though only experience I've had with Pentium E-series processors was the 2200 and it was a nice chip. Hit 3.4GHz real easily.

Yeah, but I'd consider the E6300 an exception. I think it's the only Pentium Dual-core not in the E2xx0 or E5x00 line for a reason.

lol Every time somebody says the Pentium E series easily OC's to 3GHz and above, I feel like crashing a hammer into my motherboard for holding me back to a measly 2.2.

Do it and get a new one :evil:

 

[soulreaver2040]

It's pentium dual core I meant sorry my bad...

anyways I like a to buy a new PC...

anyone pls. recommend me a better PC for gaming and less expensive...:innocent:

 

[-StrikE-]

We need to know a budget how much are you willing to spend?

 

[Princess Garnet]

Okay, a Core 2 Duo is better than a Pentium Dual-core. However, if expense is a concern, get the Pentium Dual-core, because it is almost literally the same CPU, just with less L2 cache, FSB, and generally a lower default frequency.

 

[gamefreak94]

Do it and get a new one :evil:

Not before I myself a new case so I can house something bigger then an mATX board.....besides I'm planning to go AMD next time around purely due to platform stability.

 

[soulreaver2040]

the budget is $900...:thumb:
