AMD Turion64 X2 1.6Ghz VS Core Duo T2050

[jancz3rt]

Heya guys,

what would you go for from the following two:

AMD Turion64 X2 1.6Ghz VS Core Duo T2050 1.6Ghz

Given that the rest of the PC is the "same"

I could not find any decent reviews as far as performance is
concerned. My friend would need to chose one very soon and
I am tempted to lean towards the Turion X2 as opposed to the
Core Duo (Not Core 2 Duo just in case anyone is wondering).
Thanks for your help

i've heard the turions generally outperformed the core duos (without getting into model #'s).

Core Duo for here. I've used them in laptops and they run very well.

Hmmm

Core Duo for here. I've used them in laptops and they run very well.

Is it just your preference or based on some real data?

No data here or whatshowever.. buuuut... what are you going to use the laptop for if i may ask?
I recall the Turion X2 beeing a dual core processor and the Dore Duo's to be single core processors (not 100% sure tough, but i gues that would have some influence in the power consumption aswell)

anyhow,.. over here i heard quite a lot good about the Turions, but i barely heard anything off the CoreDuo's in laptops.. so i could be completely wrong.

Core Duo will kick Turion64 ass.

The only bad thing about core duo is that it doesn't support 64-bit

Dore Duo's to be single core processors

Core 2 duo is dual core
Core duo is dual core
Core Solo is single core
Pentium M is single core

Def. the Core Duo. Read this article. I started at the conclusion, but if you want all the benchies and such, then read from the beginning.

Core 2 duo is dual core
Core duo is dual core
Core Solo is single core
Pentium M is single core

Well.. thanks for clearing that up ( nevermind my post then )

Well if the Turion is like the X2, they will both be very good processors. But I have personally used the Core Duo, so I know how well those run.
