The D is a reference to being "dual-cored," or having more than one processor core. Although it uses the same concept as the Pentium Dual-Core, they should not be confused. The Pentium Dual-Core is much faster, more efficient, and cooler-running than the Pentium D.

Is an Intel Pentium better than an Intel Pentium D?
No. The Pentium predates the Pentium D by more than a decade.
When was Pentium D created?
Pentium D was created in 2005.
How many alu's does a Pentium d have?
4 ALU's in the Pentium D
What is the difference bitween Pentium D Pentium R processors?
The Pentium D is basically a dual-cored version of the Pentium 4. It is nowhere near as efficient or powerful as a Core 2 Duo, and it actually generates slightly more heat than a Pentium 4.
Pentium 4 packages use what 2 sockets?
Pentium 4 sockets were sockets numbers Socket 423 for early Pentium 4's. Then socket 478 for Pentium 4, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and Celeron and socket T (LGA 775) for Pentium 4, Pentium D dual core, Celeron D and Pentium Extreme Edition.
How many versions of Intel Pentium are there?
There are version of Intel Pentium one through four as well as Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium D, Intel Pentium M, Pentium (2009), and Pentium Duel Core.
Compare Pentium 4 D and Pentium 4 HT?
Pentium D is a dual core processor, while the Pentium 4 HT is a single core that is capable of running two software threads. More simply put, The Pentium D is 2 people each pulling their own wagons, the Pentium 4 HT is one person pulling 2 wagons with lubricated wheels. Over all, the Pentium D is better because it is truly dual core, although the Pentium 4 does a great job of trying.
Can you give a List of Intel CPU?
Pentium Duo Quad, Pentium core duo, Pentium D, Xeon, Itanium, Pentium M, Pentium 4, Celeron, Pentium 3, Pentium 2, Pentium Pro, 486, 386, 286.
Are there 2 cores in Pentium d processors?
Yes. The "D" after Pentium stands for "duo" as in dual core (2 cores)
Is Pentium dual core processor the same as Pentium d processor?
No. A Pentium Dual Core is a cost-reduced version of a Core 2 Duo. Think of it as the new equivalent of a Celeron. The Pentium D is basically a dual-cored version of the Pentium 4, but is far less efficient than a Core 2 Duo (or a Pentium Dual Core).
How much does the Pentium D improve the core CPU speed?
The Pentium D is not much faster than a standard Pentium 4,and it uses more power. Dual core processors are the fastest available at this time.
What is the difference between the Intel Pentium D and the Intel Core 2 Duo?
The Pentium D is essentially a rebranded and double-cored version of the Pentium 4. The Core 2 Duo is a much more efficient and powerful processor.
