Would a 1.8ghz Core 2 Duo Processor preform better than my 2.6Ghz Celeron D? Thanks in advance.?

Answer 1

generally yes because there are 2 cores inside the core 2 duo and would do better than a single core processor such as the celeron D. the frequencies about dual core are hardly an issue as they perform much faster than single core processors.

Answer 2

Yes it will. Based on the L1 and L2 Cache alone. The Cache is a small chunk of high speed RAM on the CPU. It holds the instructions to the CPU for a short time, the larger the cache the more instructions it will process and faster the CPU. Celeron's are cheap because they have smaller cache then a Pentium. The Core Dual 2 has 2 Cores so it has larger Cache and there is 2 sets of L1 and L2 for each Core.

Answer 3

I would say yes. Core 2 duo has more cache than the celeron.

Answer 4

yes the Core 2 Duo is a much better processor

Answer 5

Yes, Core 2 Duo is better. Celeron is crap.

Answer 6

Yes! Any core duo 2 is better than any single core. But it depends, although in this im guessing the duo core 2 precessor os faster.

Answer 7

yes, the core 2 duo has a 2mb cache but the celeron i think only has 256 kb cache

Answer 8

yes very much so. the celeron has a very low cache, and the c2d has a large cache like 4mb. the c2s is 2 pentium m processors ( laptop processors) on a single socket
