what is the difference between core 2 duo and dual core processor and which one is better.?

Answer 1

The Core 2 Duo is Intel's second generation (hence, Core 2) processor made for desktops and laptops designed from the ground up to be fast while not consuming nearly as much power as previous CPUs.
Dual core is simply a generic term referring to any processor package with two physical CPUs in one
dual core is better because it has 2 proceccors. moer the better.
(dell has a quad core,4, proccecor computer and mac has a dual quad core processor8 yes 8 processors

Answer 2

Dual core is simply a generic term referring to any processor package with two physical CPUs in one.

The Pentium D is simply two Pentium 4 Prescott cpus inefficiently paired together and ran as dual core.

The Core Duo is Intel's first generation dual core processor based upon the Pentium M (a Pentium III-4 hybrid) made mostly for laptops (though a few motherboard manufacturers have released desktop boards supporting the Core Duo CPU), and is much more efficiently than Pentium D.

The Core 2 Duo is Intel's second generation (hence, Core 2) processor made for desktops and laptops designed from the ground up to be fast while not consuming nearly as much power as previous CPUs.

The Pentium D, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 are all current CPUs that have dual cores in one package.

Note - Intel has dropped the Pentium name in favor of the Core architecture.
Dual core is the latest ones

Answer 3

Dual core processor is a type of processor in which 2 cores are slapped in one.
Core 2 Duo is a dual core processor produced by Intel.

AMD also produces dual core processors, but now a days Core 2 Duo performs better.
Also it consumes less electricity than a single core processor..

Answer 4

Dual core is a general nomenclature when 2 processors are used on the same board.
Both AMD and Intel have dual cores
Core 2 Duo is an intel product (codenames Merom and Conroe), which is supposed to be faster than any desktop dual core processor.

Answer 5

First lets start with the differences core 2 duo = Intel's dual core 64 bit processors based on the core architecture . dual core = any processor with 2 core ( processors ). core 2 Quad = This is two core 2 duo's on one substrate ( which is the chip which the processors lays on ) technically its 4 processors( 2 dual core processors on one chip ) i would recommend you look for a PC with a quad core its more processors which means more computing power which = a faster computer i also recommend this because of the recent price drop you should be able to find a built quad core comp for about a grand

Answer 6

Core duo is better but most people should get the core processor because you should only get a duo if you are really going to do some heavy work on the computer. When I mean I heavy, I don't mean going online, running simple programs or chatting. Duos have an extra processor as a back up but most people don't even need it.

Answer 8

These are Intel's dual cores:
Pentium D/EE-8xx & D/EE-9xx- High clock speed, hi-wattage, old technology.

Core Duo (Yonah2)- Mobile processor, 32bit only, better than above Pentiums.

Core 2 Duo- Latest technology, moderate clock speed but does more per clock cycle, low wattage. This is the best and becomes more affordable w/ the new Pentium E2140 and E2160.

Answer 9

core duo is best also is more expensive than amd dual core coz effeceicy is higher

Answer 10

Just Different Brands
AMD vs INTEL
Very Simple
