hi!! i feel like upgrading my PC and can somebody enlighten me about the following new intel products??? intel's on the top position right now against AMD because of these:
Pentium Dual Core
Pentium Core 2 Duo
they say they've got better performance than AMD... AMD only has 2.4 Ghz (approximate) as their highest clock speed and intel can be overclocked to 3.4 + Ghz... so im moving to intel pentium... can somebody tell me anything i need to know about these processors so i can get the right one?? this is for gaming purposes, not for multi-tasking...
THANX

Bro you might as well read this it is from the other forums www.tipidpc.com/viewtopic.php?tid=66570&page=1 they were discussing how Intel Core 2 Duo performs bro If you were a multi-tasking enthusiast or everything under the sun mapa gaming or multi-tasking I say you better opt out for an Intel Core 2 Duo if you have money to burn or if you are on a budgeted note and wanted a Dual Core right away Intel Dual Core 805 is the right one for you cause they are cheap I say cheap for only 5500K for an Intel Dual Core don't be fooled on just 2.66 speed they can be overclocked to 4Ghz if you have the right tools and right setup to overclocked them. If you wanted it for gaming I say you better upgrade your video card to Nvidia 7600GT AGP or a PCI-Express because they beat the hell out of a 6800GT or Ultra. Hope this helps .... ;D |

imho, id say go get teh core 2 duo... check the price for the chip and motherboard.. compare it to the pentium d dual core, they are roughly within each other's reach..  |

is that processor the dual threading thingy?

so what's their difference? which one has two/dual processors? i can see that the Core2Duo is quite expensive "for now"... indi kaya ng budget...
last thought: maybe i should just get a dual core motherboard, since it is compatible with single core processors... and wait for the prices to go down??

question is how much is actually your budget? are you upgrading or buying the whole package? lowest core 2 duo is 10k for the chip and 5k for the motherboard... roughly 15k for both.. pentium d dual core is using the 90NM technology intel core 2 duo is using teh 65NM terchnology both are dual cores |

Both of those processors that you mentioned are Dual Core processors. both of them has two processors in one single package. Bro if you wanted to upgrade I think you need to buy the processor first before buying the mother board. Remember when buying a PC piece by piece motherboards comes last in your list. |

As I said before AMD also has a dual core processor its called the X2 its a little bit of expensive than Intels Dual Core proc. Maybe right now Intel has the right advantage because they were bringing down the price of there processors. I think the battle within AMD and Intel has shifted in favor of Intel and that Intels target right now was for the budget conscious users. |

is that processor the dual threading thingy? it's more like dual hyper threading, so with these babies you can see 4 CPUs when you look at the Performance tab on your task manager window. cool really, but price uncool  |

Remember when buying a PC piece by piece motherboards comes last in your list. well for me, motherboard comes in second, much like it goes hand in hand when choosing what processor. followed by the memory modules, then the video card. so in any upgrades these are your major concerns, the least ones would be your input/output devices, storage devices. |

core duo and core 2 dou both are dual core processors, core 2 has a much larger cache. AMD's answer to this is the AMD AM2 X2 Dual core. with regards to prices of these processors well core duo cost less than amd am2 x2 cost less than core 2 duo. amd btw can be overclocked too, am using an amd 64 3000+ (1.8Ghz) running it at 2.4Ghz. amd processors have raw processing power and intel processors are really good in multi-tasking. now about gaming well that's where the GPUs will come into play. |
