Well, the Intel Core Duo processor is the same speed processor no matter what computer you put it in... However, the difference between a Mac and a PC is that when you click to open and run a program, a PC has to go through something like 32 processes before it opens the program. When you open a program with a Mac, it only goes through 4 processes to open the program... Therefore, even though the Intel Core Duo processor is the same speed whether it's in a PC or a Mac, it just is much more compatible with a Mac... in other words, you get more bang for your buck when you buy a Dual Core Mac.

OSX is better performance however the # of personal programs is limited. OSX uses both processors for its normal OS functions and most software written since 2002 can use multiple CPUs.
Windows is not better performance since you must be using XP Pro to even attempt to use the Dual Core. Windows WILL NOT USE DUAL CORE during loading or normal OS functions. (Windows 2003 Server can use them but you need big Buck$ for the server license) Also the only programs that use dual cores well are video encoders. There just wasn't any demand for programs to run on dual core machines.

Dual Core Processors are the same no matter where they are.
In terms of performace - it depends on a lot more variables than just the processor speed. It may run quicker on a clean install of windows, but once you start adding in programs etc it could be slower than a Mac.
A processor is hardware, whereas an OS is software - it's a little like comparing apples to oranges (or in this case, PC's)

AMD processor is more low-priced than Intel processor and Intel are followers, severe performance, multi tasking. AMD concentrates on the computing gadget and shopper marketplace and decrease the expenses for his or her CPUs value as a fashion to be extra aggressive. frequently AMD use socket A (462 pins) and Intel use socket 478(478 pins). Now Intel processors have the biggest L3 cache at 2mb even as the biggest for AMD is 1mb.
