View Single Post - intel core 2 duo e4300 vs intel pentium d 940 dual core

So what should I look for in processors to find out if they perform better? I looked at both the FSB on both processors and they are 800mhz. The L1 cache in the e4300 is 32kb+32kb, while the pentium d has an L1 cahe of 24kb+32kb. The L2 cahce on the e4300 is 2M. Does 2M mean 2 MB? Anyhow, the L2 cache on pentium d has an L2 cache of 2 x 2MB? I don't see much difference in both processors. The only big difference I see is the operating frequency. The e4300 runs at 1.8 ghz and the pentium d runs at 3.2 ghz. How do can I find out which one is the better processor?
