Core 2 vs dual core

[muz]

i do believe the pentium dual core is not before the core 2 duo it was in fact released after

as for the pentium D i think they rushed trying to get dual cores out before amd and screwed up the architecture not developing a new one simply putting 2 pentium 4's together which resulted in a lot of heat

a cheap version that came before the core 2 duo?
was it their baby step to see if they could actually get 2 cores on one chip
and to get the architecture correct?

The Pentium Dual cores came out after the C2D. It was designed to get people out of the Pentium D, and into a better, dual-core solution while still keeping end user costs low.

except "Pentium Dual Core"s aren't bad at all, whereas Celerons were s**t from the start
