CPU/Mobo What is the difference between Core 2 Duo and Dual-Core ?

core 2 duo is the brand name intel has used for a certain genenration of dual-core processors. Its like saying whats the difference between an Ipod and an mp3 player from apple.
 
Dual core is simply a generic term referring to any processor package with two physical CPUs in one. The Pentium D, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 are all current CPUs that have dual cores in one package.

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.

Note - Intel has dropped the Pentium name in favor of the Core architecture as Intel is restructuring and refocusing it's efforts to become number one again (and are doing a fine job, might I add).

The AMD Athlon X2 CPUs have two revisions, the first one is essentially very similiar to the Pentium Ds in that they are simply two Athlon 64 chips fused together, making power requirements quite steep (around 89 watts). The second revision is made more efficiently, like the Core Duos, with much less power consumption (around 65 watts).

There are, of course, other differences, but that is the gist of dual cores as it relates to Intel and AMD.

I will explain you

Dual-Core is NFS Underground
Core Duo is NFS Underground 2
Core 2 Duo is NFS Most Wanted
Core 2 Quad is NFS Carbon
and I7 is NFS Undercover

hope u get it, enjoY
 
for the previous ones

we go back like

Pentium D - NFS 6 HP 2

Pentium 4 - NFS 5

Pentium 3 - NFS 4

Pentium 2 - NFS 3

Pentium 1 - NFS 2

and then

Intel 80486 - NFS 1

good luck pal

so you are saying that Core 2 Duo is better than Core 2 Quad and i7??:tongue: :rofl:
 
I knew it! you would say that

well just for these 3 I have to change the line...

so for

Intel Core 2 Duo - Gta Vice City

Intel Core 2 Quad - Gta San Andreas

Intel I7 - Gta 4

:-) hope this is more clear..

"moron" isn't a word someone would use to start a flame war. The words would be more like those starting with and F and ending in K or starting with S etc. So essentially go find a fire hydrant and cool off. :rofl:

And I was going to clear him off his moronic charges :rofl:
 
AFAIK intel dual cores (e2160, 80 etc) & c2d's (E6xxx, E4xxx etc) share the same core architecture.. The dual cores ones being the stripped down versions with lesser cache, lower fsb's & lacking some features like virtualization..

Iam i correct??

thats true...

basically dual cores are like human race...

first god created a rough sketch of human and called it man then god created a sexy figure with all the stuff and called it a woman

so the difference between dualcore and core 2 duo is just that as of man and woman...

but theres just 1 expection, these things cannot replicate on its own:hap2:
