Which Processor is better

Intel core 2 duo or Dual core?

 

Something that has been in my mind for quite a while now and for some reason can never find it on google

Dual core is a generic term representing 2 cores on a single die. Likewise, quad core represents 4 cores on a single die.

 

This is different from Core Duo and Core 2 Duo. These are micro-architectures for how the CPU operates. Core was Intel's first dual core architecture, and Core 2 is the "sequel" to Core.

 

So you see, a CPU can be a Core Duo with 2 cores, or it can be a Core 2 Duo with 2 cores. They are both dual core -- the difference is the micro-architecture.

 

Simply put, Core 2 is a faster, more powerful micro-architecture.

I would say that Intel Core 2 Duo is better ^_^

What are you talking about?

 

Dual Core marks the cores in a single die (as GTDONE mentioned above).

 

If you are looking for a Dual core, i recommend getting i5, but it is expensive.

 

AMD is an cheap alternative (pick Piledriver, not Bulldozer, Bulldozer was a failure). I will pick the FX-6300 (it is very cheap, and 6 cores).

 

Intel core-in-die are better, but 6 cores will always beat 2 cores. Intel even costs more and Intel is overpriced.

 

If you compare Intel 4-core vs AMD 4-core, pick Intel 4-core, because, as i mentioned above, Intel has better CID performance than AMD.
