what is the difference between a pentium dual core and core duo?

Question

in a laptop, what is the diffeence, which is better?

Answer 1

in a laptop you won't find a pentium dual core processor because it needs too much power, what is very bad for the battery life.

a pentium dual core processor consists of two pentium 4 cores on one die. they are named pentium D (series 8xx and 9xx) and are mostly used in desktop PCs.

the core duo processor is the successor of the pentium M (mobile). it also consists of two cores but is designed exclusively for notebooks and has a much lower power consumption than a pentium D. it also has a much better architecture than a pentium D and therefore it has the same performance with considerably lower clock frequencies (as a comparison: pentium D is clocked at 2.66GHz - 3.4GHz whilst the core duo is clocked at 1.3GHz - 2.33GHz).

the latest processor generation by Intel is the core 2 duo. they are available for desktops (core name Allendale, Conroe, Kentsfield) and for notebooks (core name Merom).

Answer 2

I think the Pentium is mislabeled. In last Sunday's Best Buy ad, they had "Dual Core Pentium E2xxx processors" and I was like what the-? I thought the Pentium-branded core chips didn't come out until later this year. And they don't.
Later this year, there will be dual core chips that will carry the Pentium name and will be based on a cut-down version of Core 2 Duo. There will also be further cut-down single core chips that will carry the Celeron name. But for right now, it's just an error in the ads.

Answer 3

A multi-core microprocessor is one that combines two or more independent processors into a single package, often a single integrated circuit (IC). A dual-core device contains two independent microprocessors. In general, multi-core microprocessors allow a computing device to exhibit some form of thread-level parallelism (TLP) without including multiple microprocessors in separate physical packages. This form of TLP is often known as chip-level multiprocessing And the concept is call dual core technology.



Core duo is a type of product of dual core technology made by Intel :-

Produced: 2006 -
Manufacturer: Intel
CPU Speeds: 1.06 GHz to 2.33 GHz
FSB Speeds: 533 MT/s to 667 MT/s
Process:
(MOSFET channel length) 0.065 µm
Instruction Set: x86
Microarchitecture: P6 (Pentium M variant)
Socket: Socket M
Core Name: Yonah

Answer 4

The core is the newest generation of the Intel x86 architecture. The Pentium is the generation before it. They are both duel core.

Answer 5

i would check intel on that there made by tha same company

Answer 6

Same thing, I think.
