That means that your computer has two 2.80GHz cores. It's basically an Intel Duo Core 2.80GHz.

How your computer works so fast What is the principle or process behind it?

well if you mean how does your computer work so fast..... the proces is mostly in the CPU/ aka the central procesing unit. tipes of CPU's 1 the Pentium and 2 the core duo. the core duo is called core duo for a reason. the duo CPU works twice as fast as the pentiun. theres many tipes of brands of CPU's like Intel or Pentium thers also the Pentium 1,2,3..and soo on. the latest the CPU the faster your computer.(hint)you cant just go and buy any CPU because you have to check if the CPU is compatible with your mother board and your ram.the ram makes your computer faster too .....by helping the CPU . an example is the following.supose your downloading 3 files at the same time and your on youtube at the same time,the CPU can only process a certain amount of information soo the CPU gives the ram the information to store temporarely while the CPU processes the rest of the in formatio. the core duo works twice as fast because is like if you had 2 CPU's.


What are the differences between an Intel Core 2 Duo and an Intel Pentium Dual-Core?

Intel Pentium Dual-Cores are identical in architecture to Intel Core 2 Duos. The differences are:Intel Core 2 Duos have a larger amount of L2 cache. In certain applications, a larger L2 cache can provide a major boost in performance.Intel Pentium Dual-Cores lack some features that the Intel Core 2 Duo includes, such as support for Intel VT-x (used for virtualization) and TXT (Trusted Execution technology).As of September, 2009, the fastest FSB supported by the Pentium Dual-Core line is 1066 MT/s. The fastest Intel Core 2 Duos support an FSB of 1333 MT/s.

Hyperthreading is cheaper, and will produce less heat. Overall though, dual-cores are better.

How many cores does the Intel Centrino Duo have?

The Centrino Duo processor made by the company Intel has two cores. It is implied in the name "Duo" , which can be translated as "two", "double" or "twice".


What is the clocking speed of an Intel Quad?

An Intel Quad is more specifically referred to as the Intel Core 2 Quad line of computer processors. They are multi-chip modules and quad processors and they succeeded the Core 2 Duo line of processors and have speeds twice as fast. They have twice the same clocked-speed frequency under similar environmental conditions as their predecessors and have an L2 Cache anywhere from 2x1 MB per second to 2x6 MB per second. Kentsfield, Yorkfield and Penryn-QC all had variants of the Core 2 Quad line.


What is a 2-way processor?

The correct term is Dual Processor as in Intel Dual Processors. The chip is really only one chip but they process information twice for each clock cycle, so it fools the computer into thinking it is only one chip. Obviously since it can do twice as much processing it is a lot faster.


Which is better Intel celeron m or Intel Pentium dual core?

Both are designed to run "slower" in order to save battery life. That is, the internal clockspeed -- the number of activities that can be performed per second -- is slower than a comparable non-M series chip. However, they have a greater amount of throughput, meaning they have more pathways to send data down (rather than sending the data faster on a smaller amount of paths). Between those two specific lines, however, Pentium is faster (and thus more expensive). The Celeron line of chips was designed specifically to be a cheaper (and thus less efficient) option.


Your Pentium d processor speed is 2.8 Ghz does that mean you have 2 cores each of 1.4 ghz?

No. Each core runs at 2.8 GHz. Threads can be run on each of the processors at the same time, drastically improving performance in certain situations. It does not mean that the computer is linearly twice as fast though.
