multi core cpu

well there is the intel dual core which is older and intel core 2 duo which is newer. both are dual cores but intel core 2 duo is better
 
Core 2 Duo is a brand from Intel. It is the line of daul core processors on the Core 2 architechture (Conroe for original 65nm, Allendale for the revised 65nm, Wolfdale for the 45nm).

A dual core processor is any processor with 2 cores on one chip
 
A core2 duo is a dual-core processor, which is a processor with two cores on the chip. Are you referring to the Pentium D when you say dual-core? If so, then in short the Core2 Duos are much faster per MHz than the Pentium Ds were. If you're referring to Pentium Dual-Core, they are roughly the same speed: with the exception that the Core2 Duos have more L2 cache. This is a rough description. Like one of the previous posters said: There are different core designs for Core2 Duos: 65nm ones and 45nm ones. The 45nm ones are newer ones that are faster, and the 65nm ones are slower and older, and come in different varieties. It's hard to sum up in a short description that doesn't put you to sleep in the end :o.

Edit: Also, forgot to mention: Core2 Duo is a line of dual-core processors by Intel: It's a brand name.
 
The Pentium D was intel's first attempt at a dual core. it had two pentium 4 die's... it was rather bad. The newer Pentium Dual Core chips are 45nm wolfdale chips, the same as the E7xxx and E8xxx Core 2 Duo chips.

I'm kinda sick of people saying "You have a pentium d? ewwww upgrade" or "An E6300? isn't that a 1.86ghz 65nm chip"

I wish people would do some research.

/rant.

Lol, Intel and their messed up reusage of naming.... They never did use an E9xxx series, did they? There's a bit of a huge difference between a conroe C2D and a wolfdale Pentium dual. :D

Yes they did use 9xxx, it was the Itanium line of processors that got it

With the Itanium, it doesn't have an E before the 9xxx, though. It would seem strange to have a Pentium Dual-Core E9500 being less powerful than a C2D E8700. I think they should've made it Pentium Dual-Core E6300p, for pentium.
