Core Duo

New technology is always growing old with the passage of time and the development of improved versions. This is true for computer components, in a particular unit or CPU. Next-generation CPU always followed a downward trend of Fame. With the launch of a new line of processors, the former "Next Generation Standard processor CPU and eventually become obsolete.

A major change in technology upgrading processor processing 32-bit to 64-bit processing. A 64-bit processor made it possible to launch dual-core and multi-core processors. Intel Pentium D dual core and his brother, the Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core, have been released only a year of separation that many are unable to distinguish the difference between the two.

The Pentium D and Core 2 Duo is actually very similar. Both are dual heart can handle 64 bits of 64 bits. In addition, both use Intel LGA 775 pin layout. The fact that two processors are dual processors heart does not mean they are the same, however. So what is the difference between Intel Pentium D and Core 2 Duo?

In terms of release dates, Pentium D was released before – in 2005 – the heart 2 Duo, which came a year later in 2006. Pentium D evolved first as a 90nm chip and became a 65nm chip. The Core 2 Duo, moreover, that began as a 65nm chip and updated on a 45 nm chip in 2007. Theoretically, a low-nanometer chip is more efficient and run cooler and faster than a chip with greater nm.

Well that both processors use two processing cores, which gives them the power of combined operation of two single-core, Pentium D and Core 2 Duo has different numbers of chips. Pentium D uses two processing cores on two separate dies or chips. The Pentium D dual core, so its own cache. This architecture allows the Pentium D to run multiple programs simultaneously without a negative effect on processor speed. In contrast, Core 2 Duo uses two processing cores on the same table. Therefore, if an urgent need for more resources, have to wait another button to activate and manage the additional burden in the case of the Pentium D.

The front side bus (FSB) speeds of Pentium D and Core 2 Duo also vary. Pentium D may have FSB speeds of 800 MHz or 1066 MHz. Of Core 2 Duo processors are faster. They start with a speed of 1066 MHz FSB, while the 45nm chips can operate at a speed of 1333 MHz FSB. FSB higher are more advantageous. Improve communication between the processor and RAM of the computer.

For the average user, these differences do not count much. But for those with greater computing needs, the Intel Core 2 Duo is a much better processor than the Pentium D.
