what do u call

[coolfella]

i want to know something
what do u call intel core 2 duo processors

i mean like pentium 4

is intel core 2 duo processors called pentium d

 

[Steff]

what do you call them??? you call them what youve just said ''intel core 2 duo'' ?? yes i believe it is pentium d they get called, but intel core 2 duo usualy.

 

[mammikoura]

you call it core 2 duo. Or conroe. Pentium D is different.

 

[Steff]

is it? oh my bad haha i've been at work all day is my exuse -slaps self-

 

[lhuser]

Core 2 Duo is Core 2 Duo. Pentium D differs and Pentium 4 differs. name given to each. Thought, abbreviations like C2D, PD and P4 are also common.

 

[coolfella]

so is pentium d faster than core 2 duo

 

[TRDCorolla1]

They're both have two cores, but you have to realize that Pentium D's are based on a different architecture when compared to a Core 2 Duo. They're two different processors with the Intel Core 2 Duo being the best.

Let me answer thiso ne more detailed. There' the clock (Ex: 3GHZ) and clocks per cycles. Clocks per cycles, I dunno what it means, but more is better. The Core 2 Duo has more.

Pentium D:
FSB = 533 or 800
Clock ratio 2.8-3.4+
Clock per cycles = (Randomly generated number) 5

Core 2 Duo
FSB = 1066
Clock ratio = 1.8-2.4ish
Clock per cycles = (Randomly generated number) 15-25.

if i get a core 2 duo does my ram have to be 1066mhz ddr2?? cuz i got 400mhz right now.

 

[lhuser]

No, but it could be 667 or 800. If you put it too low, say DDRII 533, it will be bottlenecking the CPU.
