What else can I help you with?
Can I replace my desktop computer's Intel Pentium 4 processor with a dual-core unit?
No. The newer processor will not use the same motherboard.
In the Pentium D what does the D stand for?
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.
What is the Difference between an Intel Pentium Dual-Core mobile processor and an Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor?
Very little, actually. The Pentium Dual-Core has a smaller L2 cache, making it just slightly slower than a Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed.
Can you replace your laptop's Intel Pentium III processor with a dual-core unit?
No. Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 stand too apart from each other. For upgrading any processor on the same motherboard, they need to be in same socket type and the external interfaces should be compatible. P3 is a very old single core chip and is a lot different from latest dual core processors, so this upgrade is not possible.
Which is better an Intel Pentium 4 or an Intel Pentium Dual-Core?
They are the exact same technology, so one is not actually "better" than the other. Intel Pentium Dual-Cores use the same architecture as the Intel Core 2 Duo, just with a smaller L2 cache size. This makes the Dual-Core slightly slower in intensive applications than a Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed. A Pentium Dual-Core will still outperform a Core 2 Duo of a lower clock rate. Pentium D's are older Core 2's renamed to promote newer CPU's.
Difference between Pentium D and core 2 duo?
A P4 processor is fast, but the Pentium D is much faster. The D stands for Dual Core. This means that they have two on die processor cores instead of just one, as the Pentium 4 does. Two processors also makes it better for "demanding" applications. The Pentium D is better if you have a motherboard that will utilize the technology. As stated the Pentium D is Duel core. This is Intel's way of creating the closest environment of a true duel processor. The HT is for Hyper-Threading which acts like a zipper and allows several applications to process at the same time. The Pentium D will really make a difference when used with the new 64 bit operating system. However, HT (Hyper-threading) P4, does have emulated Dual Core processing. In short, the processor makes the computer think its runing a dual core. The Pentium 4 also has a couple different levels, so if you are trying to make a comparison, make sure that you look carefully. Although neither can match the power of an Athalon or an AMD x2 processor. If you are buying, get something with 64 bit processing. WAY faster and better for games and high graphic systems.
Which of these processors is best out of Intel Core i3 or AMD A-Series or Intel Pentium Dual Core?
This depends on what type of A-Series you are talking about, but the i3 is better than the Pentium Dual Core although they are based on the same microarchitecture.
What does a Pentium D processor with dual core technology mean?
Pentium D is just the name Intel gave to that particular line of processors. Dual core technology means that the single chip has two processors on it. This makes it capable of executing two commands at the same time. Do not confuse Pentium D dual core with the newer Core 2 Duo. They are vastly different chips. The Core 2 Duo (and the Core 2 Quad) core chips are greatly improved over the Pentium D chips. Pentium D is just the name Intel gave to that particular line of processors.

When choosing a game that requires 3GHZ processor and one has a dual core processor of 2.3GHZ does this count as 4.6GHZ meaning that the game can be played?
Two things here: 1. No, a dual-core processor does not "count" as 2x the clock speed. If you disable one of the cores on a dual-core processor, the chips will still run at the same clockspeed, and will perform about the same on single-threaded applications, like most games. 2. Most processors these days are dual-core, and they are more efficient and faster than older single-core chips, even though they have a lower clockspeed. Your probably requires a 3 GHz Pentium 4, and you have a newer and faster processor than that.
What is the difference between the Intel Pentium 4 and the Intel Pentium Dual-Core?
Pentium 4 vs. Dual CoreThere are MANY differences between these two generations of Intel CPU's. Most notably, Duo Core CPU's possess two processing cores opposed to the Pentium 4's single processing core. While a Duo Core CPU may be operating at a lower overall operating frequency, it is still much more powerful then a Pentium 4 considering it's improved FSB speed, cache size, multiple cores, efficiency, etc.
Which generates more heat an Intel Core 2 Duo or an Intel Pentium Dual-Core?
They are approximately the same at the same frequency.
Can you update a Sony Vaio VGN NR110E S processor from Intel Pentium Dual Core to a Pentium 4 2.80GHZ?
It´s not update, it´s downdate! Over all, I think these two processors don´t have the same socket!
