is intel dual core 2.8 better or amd 64 bit pr?

Answer 1

the 2 answerers above got it wrong. an Intel dual core 2.8 is a Pentium D processor and this is worse than a AMD 64 X2.

the Intel processor that is better than the AMD 64 is called Intel Core 2 Duo.

Answer 2

If you are referring to the dual-core Intel Pentium D 920, 915 or 820, which all run at 2.8 GHz, then the dual-core AMD equivalent is much better on performance and on power efficiency against any of them. Note that the Pentium D is based on the old Pentium 4 "Netburst" architecture.

You could also be referring to Intel Core 2 Duo which is also dual-core processor from Intel. However, there is no existing Core 2 Duo for the desktop running at 2.8 GHz. The highest speed for the Core 2 Duo is 2.66 GHz - Core 2 Duo E6700.

Answer 3

The question is lacking in information. Currently Intel is offering two processors that could be considered "dual core" they are the Intel Pentium D and Intel Core2Duo.

Also all of AMD's processors support 64-Bit, even their budget Sempron line of processors even support 64-Bit.

The "better" processor would be dependent on your needs. If you are a person who do multiple tasks (Such as surfing a net while converting a video file, and then burning a DVD/CD at the same time.) then I suggest a dual core processor. In the current lineup of processors, the Intel Core2Duo is the fastest dual core processor, followed by the AMD Athlon64 X2, and lastly the Pentium D.

However, if your focus is gaming, then currently I still suggest the single core Athlon64 (Primarily the FX series) because currently they are the fastest single core processors out there and current games do not take advantage of multiple processors/dual cores.

Answer 4

currently, Dual core 2.8

Answer 5

I agree
