Duo Core VS. Duo 2 Core

What's the difference between the Duo Core and the Duo 2 Core processor?

already asked and answered ad nauseum...
for starters, check the 9/2 and 9/11 threads from this NG.

In a nutshell, the Core2 is significantly faster at the same clock speed

Ok, my Dell desktop is running a Pentium 4 3 ghz processor. I see two
listed in the device manager for what it's worth. It's plenty fast for me.
So, please briefly compare (in a nutshell) what I can expect form the
following processor in a Dell laptop with say around 500 or 1gb or ram:

1. AMD Turio 64 Mobile Technology MK-36

2. Intel Core Duo T2050 (1.60GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)

3. Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.00GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB)


I would be connecting to the net wirelessly to my broadband router.

Actually, I could probably make this more simple - my second computer is
a five or six year old Compaq running around 800mhz processor. Would any of
the three processors above be faster than my Compaq computer which is also
fast enough for me (hooked up wireless running Windows Me)?

Oh hell yes.

Core 2 Duo is Intel's newest processor family. There are both desktop
Core 2 Duo's and mobile (laptop) Core 2 Duo's.

In the desktop product line, Core 2 Duo is the best CPU line currently
in production, and it just kicks ass over all previous processors by
Intel and AMD. In benchmarks, some of the low end Core 2 Duo were very
close to being comparable to the $1,000 "Extreme Edition" processors
that were the "top of the line" as recently as early July (Core 2 Duo
for desktops was introduced in late July). There are about 5 processors
in the desktop family. The best value is probably the E6600, which is
the least expensive model with the larger 4MB cache system (there are a
couple of lower end models, and they are still quite good, but they only
have 2MB of cache). Currently, E6600's are going for about $310.

In the mobile (laptop) product line, the situation is similar, but the
difference between Core 2 Duo and Core Duo is much less. When comparing
processors with the same clock speed and the same cache size, it's
probably under 10% (Intel says that the Core 2 Duo is 15% faster than
the Core Duo, but in part that's because the high end Core 2 Duos have
both larger cache memory and faster clock speeds. But most laptops
don't have the very high end CPUs, which are found only in really
high-end laptops).

You have an old style "netburst" architecture Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading.

You are trying to compare desktop CPUs with mobile CPUs, and that's
really not a valid comparison. Of the 3 processors that you listed, the
T7200 will totally wipe the floor with both of the other choices. I'd
guess, also, that the T2050 would outperform the AMD Turio 64, but
that's going to be a much closer comparison. I really don't have a good
feel for the AMD product line, but the Core 2 Duos have been destroying
virtually everything else.

The real question is how the T7200 will compare with your 3GHz
"netburst" Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading, and my guess would be that it
will be significantly faster, other things being equal. If I was going
to guess, I'd guess (and that's all it is) that on pure CPU benchmarks
it might be as much as 50% faster.

All four of the processors in question will destroy the old Pentium III
800MHz, the slowest of them is probably about 4x faster than that CPU.

Obviously faster but I disagree with most others. I think in most
EVERYDAY tasks, you won't see much difference. If you stress both
out, then the difference will be more noticeable.

I agree with you. Unless you're running a processor intensive task, it's
not going to be that noticeable. You're not suddenly going to type emails
faster
