Whats the diffrence ?

Question

What is the diffrence from intel core2duo and intel pentium d proccers ?

Yes thats the question

Answer 1

Core 2 Duo is 64 bit capable, and the Pentium D is a dual core processor. Anyway, the Core 2 Duo is much better, based on newer and better architecture.

Answer 2

After much hype and anticipation, the new Intel Core 2 Duo processors are now available in stores with prices starting at $180 all through $530. You can now also find motherboards featuring Intel's newest P965 Express chipset becoming more readily available starting at around $150, with the more exotic versions costing up to $250.

But it's not for nothing that such tremendous hype surrounded Intel's new CPUs release. As our test results will show later on, even the slowest Intel Core 2 Duo processor is significantly faster than more expensive Pentium D processors. Take the Pentium D 950 for example, this is a $250 processor whereas the newer Core 2 Duo E6300 will initially cost just $180. This means that a processor and motherboard combo featuring Intel's latest technology could cost $330, wiping the floor with previous Intel processors and at the very least matching those from AMD. The question is however, which of the four Intel Core 2 Duo processors deliver the best performance vs. price ratio?

All four Core 2 Duo processors we are testing today operate using a 1066MHz Front Side Bus (266MHz Quad Pumped). The E6700 is the flagship model running at 2.66GHz and featuring a 4MB L2 Cache. Then there is the Core 2 Duo E6600, which operates at 2.40GHz, also with a 4MB L2 Cache, probably making the best value/performance option of the entire Core 2 Duo series. The Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400 processors feature a shared 2MB L2 Cache and come clocked at 1.86GHz and 2.13GHz. There is an 810MHz difference between the fastest and the slowest Core 2 Duo processors. Also out of our round-up but still worth a mention is the Core 2 Extreme processor that runs at 2.93 GHz, as with previous CPUs in the Extreme line, this model comes with an unlocked multiplier, however its $999 price tag puts it on a different level than the processors we are testing today.

Answer 3

If I may add Snarlybear. Intel Core 2 Duo processors are codenamed Conroe. The Conroe is built on a 65 nm process making it possible to put 2 chips into 1, and are intended for desktops, replacing the Pentium 4 and Pentium D. Intel has claimed that Conroe provides 40% more performance at 40% less power compared to the Pentium D.This is a great advantage for notebooks because of power usage on the battery. Knowing this, I have no doubt that Intel will not pursue the possibility of breaking the 4 ghz chip speed soon, but instead develop the Core 2 Duo 64bit chip to keep up with AMD. I have heard rumor of a Core 4 Duo.
Any comments on this are welcome.
Good Question!!!

Answer 4

The Core 2 Duo are literally two processors built into one chip. The two processors can be running different processes simultaneously; thus your computer will be able to accomplish mutlitple tasks quicker. Take a look at your task master (in Windows XP hit alt+ctrl+del, then choose Processes tab) and you will see anywhere from 20 to 60+ processes running.

The Pentium D is a single core processor. Though marginally faster in GHz, it can only do one thing at a time.

Many tests have shown the Core 2 Duo to outperform the Pentiums. My personal experience shows that to be true as well.

Answer 5

that is the question
