Intel Core 2
The Intel Core 2 is a line of 64-bit microprocessors from Intel first released in 2006. They are available in single, dual and quad-core editions. The Intel Pentium Dual-Core processors (with the exception of the T2060, T2080, and T2130 models) are also part of this line.

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.
What is the difference between core-2 due and quad?
Dual Core is better because it has 2 processors. The more the better. (Dell has a Quad Core, 4, processor computer and Mac has a Dual Quad Core processor, yes 8 processors). The main difference is that core duo is 32-bit processor, where as Core 2 Duo is 64-it processor, also for Core 2 Duo, the cache memory is 4MB compared to 2MB of Core Duo.

Lets try to make it clear -
Dual core and Core2 Duo both use 2 cores to process instructions..... good.... ok... but what's the difference then...
Well... the main difference is in the cache memory they use.....
The Dual Core processors use single cache shared between the 2 cores... plus, the size of this cache memory is usually less as compared to Core2 Duo ones (typically in size of 128 KB to around 512 Kb or 1 MB)......
On the other side Core 2 Duo processors also use 2 cores but they have dedicated cache memory assigned to each of the core. so in effect there are two cache memories (note - in case if you don't know what exactly cache memory is - its a static memory - Static RAM - which is costly - and charged per KB size - because they are embedded into your processors.... and your processor stores instruction set into these cores and also info of frequently accessed memory locations so that it doesn't need to go to your main memory - RAM - on motherboard - every time and search indexes to get these locations. The result is - your access time is greatly reduced.. ok.. enough of info... lets get back to main topic)... so, the more cache your processor has got, the more costly will it be and more info can it store and faster will it become.... coming back to Core 2 Duo processors.... the cache size is typically 1 MB to up to 4 / 6 / 8 /12 Mb of size. so if a core 2 duo processor config states 4 Mb of cache, then effectively your 2 cores will use 2 Mb each... now you can make out the difference in speed between a dual core using 512 cache and a Core 2 Duo using 4 Mb of cache... and the same reason why core 2 duo processors are costly and more faster (about 40 %) than the dual core ones...
Finally... to summarize, dual core procs (less cache size and that too shared cache between two cores) are strip in version of Core 2 Duo procs (more cache size and independent cache between each of the two cores), which make Core 2 Duo procs costlier and faster than Dual Core procs... so the winner is Core 2 Duo (and its comes with a price...)
hope everyone is clear now....
lets make it simple............

What is the worst processor Intel makes?
Celeron!
rewrite more depth-its actually, to be specific one of the celeron range with 1/1 core/threads and one with a 1mb or less than this cache for instance my laptop is proof. it has a intel celeron 900 with 1 core and 1 thread and also 1 mb of cache which means it can store and process very little data due to its pathetic 1mb cache and with its 1 core it can even distribute these processes over multiple cores and therefore can also only send through and utilize one thread meaning basicly 1 mb of data every like millisecond being processed which in turn means it loads something simple like an internet browser in about 5 minutes and take even longer to open word or something of other use. as for games i tried to run minecraft and it crashed on the lowest setting you could put the game on and even has crashed using google and the fan kicks in because the CPU tries to turbo boost and use a lot of power when i bring up the windows menu therefore rendering it useless no matter how much ram or hard rive space or anything it is rendered useless and your average mobile of today has a better processor. hope this helped.
How far can you manually overclock your Intel core i5 460m?
It's a laptop CPU. Therefore not like 5Ghz like desktop ones. (If) you can, you can get it to go at 3Ghz maybe (and ~3,3 with TurboBOOST) or more ;-)
What does previous level mean in the swimmer 2 core plan?
In the Swimmer 2 Core Plan, "previous level" refers to the foundational skills and conditioning that a swimmer should have mastered before progressing to the current training stage. It ensures that athletes possess the necessary strength, endurance, and technique to handle the increased demands of the new level. This concept is essential for preventing injuries and promoting effective skill development.
What is better 1.5 Intel core or 2.3 ghz?
2.3 ghz, higher the ghz, the faster it is. but don't overclock it too high or else your computer will overheat
The iMac does video editing better than any Windows PC.
this is from experience... you have to remove the whole dash to get to the heater core under the glove box, it took me 2 days. I would take it to the shop and let them have the headache. I guarantee that will be money well spent
What kind of a model is the t6400 for?
The model t6400 refers to an Intel Core Duo Processor. This processor is used to help computers run faster and also do more programs at once. This can be purchased through the Intel website.
Which is a better processor an AMD 64 x2 or an Intel Core 2 Duo processor?
The Intel Core 2 Duo is a much faster Processor than an AMD Athlon x2 64. I have 2 Computers and the one that has the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor is much faster. I logged on to the other one and it takes time to warm up after you log on, so I did a test to see which one is faster. I started the Intel Core 2 Duo Computer after I logged on to the other one and I could start it up and use it in 1/2 of the time it took for the AMD Processor Computer to warm up after I had logged on. There is proof that the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor is The Superior Processor vs. an AMD Athlon x2 64 Processor.
Is an Intel Pentium dual-core 1.46 processor equal to a 2.5 processor in speed?
The Intel Pentium DualCore 1.43Ghz is the Merom T2310 with 533fsb, 1MB L2 Cache, 65nm, and the unnamed 2.5Ghz could only be the Intel Core2Duo Penryn T9300 with 800fsb, 6MB L2 Cache, 45nm. The Penryn is newer, faster and more efficient.
What is the size of the data bus and l1 cache on a core 2 duo CPU?
64 bit data bus and two L1 (64KB) caches; one L1 cache for each core (cpu)
"Single core" refers to the computer's main chip having a single processor. Newer models, such as Intel's i3, i5 and i7, have multiple processors (2, 4, or 6 processors), usually called multiple "cores", on a single chip.
GHz refers to the clock speed of each individual processor. It gives you a rough idea of how fast it can process data. However, the processing speed will also depend on other factors.
What is the best operating system for a core2 duo?
My advice would be to stick with XP Pro. Wait for awhile before you upgrade to Vista, let MS work out the bugs.
How do you install windows 64bit on PC running with window 32bit with core 2 duo 8600 CPU?
you dont, get a new computer
Is an Intel core prossessor better than a quad core prossessor?
The question you're asking, unfortunately, is not worded correctly. An Intel processor is a family of processor, where a quad-core processor is a type of processor. The Intel family includes many types of quad-core processors.
However, to try and disambiguate what you're asking, an Intel core processor will be good, no matter what type it is. An Intel quad-core processor - for example, the Intel i7 - will perform fantastically well.
The other main type of processor manufacturer - AMD - also have quad-core processors. However, a lot of it is down to opinion and machine build as to whether Intel is better than AMD, but personally, I believe Intel will out-perform and out-last an AMD processor.
How do you overclock a Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz because I want to play Sims 3 or will it be enough?
Not every CPU is overclockable, particularly the older series. As fas as I'm aware, none of the Core 2 Duo range was overclockable.
It should be able to play Sims 3 well enough provided that you have a good graphics card.
Which processor is better i3 or i5?
if you are a average user than i3 will be considerable and price is also affordable but if you want a processor which can do multitasking and give you a higer and faster performance than i5 is best
Is a Intel celeron dual core processor fast enough for basic home use?
Yes. This does depend on what you call ´basic home use´.
