Difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo

xBoom · 03-18-2007, 04:58 AM

Which is better, the Core Duo or Core 2 Duo?

And I heard that there are socket 478 version of Core Duo, is that true?

Where did you hear core duo? Link please? and If Core duo is core 2 duo then no they are not on any other socket than LGA 775

Core duo is an old outdated model of core 2 duo which runs on a socket M only

"...Socket 478 is officially known by Intel as FC-PGA2. While Core Duo is available in a 478-pin package, that socket is different: micro FC-PGA, which was also used for earlier Pentium M and Celeron M processors..."

It's Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_478 (the last paragraph).

oh, i see. Well, I was an AMD guy back then, so I wouldn't know about core duo.

I also believe that the core duo's are only 32 bit processors where as the core 2 duo's are 64 bit processors.

-_-, obviously Core 2 Duo is better, I don't think they sell Core Duos anymore, I can't seem to find them in new computer stores, I think can you only get them second hand.

I have seen some new cheap laptops come with them, i guess they're trying to fool the buyer into think it is a core 2 duo

from what i understand the core 2 duos performance is only 10-15% higher than a similar core duo although i cant remember where i heard this. you can also still buy core duo mobile processors on newegg.com. i hear the core 2 duo mobile processors aren't as power hungry though
