Dual Core or Core Duo ¿?

[Zarstone]

which is better and what is the difference between the two

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

"Dual core" generally referes to dual core processors in general, that is, processors with two physical cores.
"Core Duo" is...well I think you mean "Core 2 Duo" which is the name (mostly marketing BS, nothing special) Intel has given to their line of Conroe and Wolfdale class dual core CPU's.

You obviously (no offense), don't really know what your talking about, I think it could be more productive to simply post the whole context of the question.

Hi zarstone,
are you just on a quest for knowledge? or are you contemplating a purchase?

 

[bushwhacker]

I believe Zarstone are referring to Pentium D and Core 2 Duo cpus.

 

[red1776]

oh you mean the hyper thread VS two physical cores?

 

[Zarstone]

I need to buy one and do not see what the difference goes dual core and core duo .. it's better. TY all.

 

[deazy86]

They all are just updates of each other better speed and power efficiency. Core 2 Duo is the latest get yourself a Core 2 Duo, they are great for all uses, such as gaming and running lots of applications.

Well I believe he was referring to the Pentium Dual Core

@ Wolfram, it's same thing for Pentium D, only in shorter name.

 

[tweakboy]

Silly, its the same thing,,lol core 2 duo is dual core , same ,,,,

unless your talkin core 2 or Athlon dual core ,,, hmm gl

 

[bushwhacker]

@Tweakboy, yes it's just similar name, but it's little different, by referring it to socket, die size, and code name.

@ Wolfram, it's same thing for Pentium D, only in shorter name.

Well last time I checked, Pentium D's were based on Netburst, and Pentium Dual Cores are based on Core. (Some are Allendale's or Wolfdale's).

Quite a confusing lineup if you ask me
