Intel Core 2

Yes. I am currently running x64 Vista OS without problems.

No. The number of cores don't necessarily correlate with practical speed. The efficient operation of both cores depends on the operating system and the software you use. For single-threaded tasks, a faster clock speed would help you more than additional cores.

Both processors are very reliable but the main difference is with performance. I currently have 2 computers with Intel Pentium and 2 with AMD. The Intel Pentium are more geared to the buisness side of the computer world and the AMD are much better for gaming applications, even though they do a fine job on the buisness side as well. It really comes down to one's preference and the type of applications the computer will be running.

The 3.2 GHz processor is slightly better. Please note that all 3.2 GHz Pentium 4s support Hyperthreading, so the 3.2 GHz isn't in any way disadvantaged.

The rough equivalent would be the Intel Atom CPU, a low-power, low-performance single-core microprocessor used in netbooks and supermicro PC's.

This is the question i had to ask myself recently, when i bought a new PC.

I went for core 2 duo myself. Why? because i investigated on it and got just one answer from everywhere: core 2 duo is much more efficient.. its like newer is better... but we are here comparing CPU(s) with diffrent speeds. For me speeds 3.0ghz and 2.33ghz don't make much of a diffence.

So i'd say it depends on individual, ask yourself .. is 3.0ghz really your minimum requirement?? if no, go with core 2 duo, because its better.

The 2.66 Ghz Quad core is the better processor. the quad core has a top manufacture speed "no over clocking" of 10.64 Ghz and the core duo and 6.66 Ghz manufacture speed. UNLESS the core duo has a wopping load of cache speed witch is a hole nothing story

The will depend on the benchmark and the particular chips selected to benchmark. A 1.6 GHz Intel Atom is slightly faster than a 1.1 GHz Pentium III on a SuperPi benchmark. A 1.4 GHz Pentium III would thus likely beat it. In a multi-threaded benchmark, the Atom would likely beat the Pentium III, due to the Atom's inclusion of Hyperthreading.

A multiplexer breaks large amounts of data into smaller chunks so that the processor can manipulate it more easily and give back the processed data in pieces when it finishes processing it. A multiplexer is also responsible for breaking up the data if you have more than one processor or core (as in dual core) in your computer.

No, or at least not if you want Photoshop to run in a stable manner. Upgrade your computer, or use something like Paint.net (getpaint.net) or pixlr (pixlr.com). Another factor to take into account when deciding if you can run Photoshop is RAM, or Random Access memory. You'll need about 2 GB of this.

Depends which model, and whether you are talking about physcial cores or virtual cores, for example a processor can have two physical cores and two virtual cores and still be branded a "quad core"

Apart from the bottom of the range i5 650, the rest are sold as "quad cores" although they don't have four physical cores.

The specifications of the Intel Core 2 Duo processors are Intel dual-core technology, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep, Execute Disable Bit, and Intel 64 architecture. Intel Core 2 Extreme processors are similar but have Intel Virtualization Technology in place of dual-core technology.

You can replace an Intel Core Duo Processor by first removing the heatsink and/or fan from the processor and removing the old thermal paste. Apply thermal paste to the new Intel Core Duo Processor and reseat the heatsink and/or fan.

If you are referring to Intel then it is Hyper-Threading

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.

The Intel "iCore" line is Intel's newest line of processors. The lowest, the i3, is to replace the Core 2 Duo series while the i5 replaces the Core 2 Quad series. The i7 is a brand new series quad-core series. The iCore ranges from a dual-core (i3) up to the newest addition, a hexa-core (i7 Extreme).

The best feature about the iCore line is their HyperThreading Technology, meaning it has two processing threads per core. Basically it means that a dual-core will simulate a quad-core while a quad-core simulates an octa-core. It also utilises a new architecture, so if you have the older Core 2 processors, you'll need a new motherboard to support an iCore upgrade. Data transfer speeds are a lot faster due to the replacement of the frontside bus by Intel's Quickpath InterConnect.

Turion 64 is based on Athlon 64's architecture, and the main difference between Turion 64 and Athlon 64 Mobile is

the power consumption, which is lower on Turion 64: Athlon 64 Mobile dissipates 65 W while Turion 64 dissipates only

35 W (ML models) or 25 W (MT models). Another difference between them is the amount of L2 cache, which is always of 1 MB

on Athlon 64 Mobile, while Turion 64 can have a L2 memory cache of 512 KB or 1 MB, depending on the model

In addition - Athlon was developed mainly for desktop and turion for laptops Answer

Overall Athlon range is economy version and has less performance compared to Turion which are relatively high end processors. Although initially Athlon name was used only for desktop processors, later both Turion and Athlon brands have been used for dual core processors designed for notebook computers. Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is AMD's most advanced family of dual-core processors made for mobility to date. Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is a more affordable relatively lower performance range of processors for notebook PCs. Exact specification and performance numbers depends on the model number of the processor in respective families.

Yes, You are right neeraj, i agree with your answer.

The Intel 8085 is not even in the same class as the Intel Core 2. The architecture and instruction set is vastly different. The 8085 is an 8 bit machine, running on an 8-bit bus, with at most 64kb of RAM/ROM. The Core 2 is a 32/64 bit machine, running on 32/64/128 bit buses, with potentially more than 4gb of RAM/ROM. This is like comparing an original Volkswagon Beetle with an Indy Car.

Core is the centre part of any celestial body.

In electrical terms a core is an iron frame that wire coils are wrapped around to concentrate the magnetic flux that surrounds a wire when current flows through it. A good example of a core is in a transformer where both the primary and secondary windings are wound on to the same core. The magnetic flux that surrounds the primary coil when it draws a current will cut the secondary coil and induce a voltage into it. The core concentrates and directs the lines of magnetic force for maximum use by the secondary coil.

Most computers have a keystroke (usually esc, del, or F12) that will interrupt the boot sequence when you start your computer. In the past, this would be when the white text flies across the screen displaying memory available, hard disk sizes, etc. This will get you into the BIOS for "cmos setup".

CMOS is a type of memory that does not lose its data on power loss. In earlier computers, this is where the boot up configuration was stored; hence the phrase, "setup cmos"
