What is the different between intel Pentium D and Core 2 Duo.

I am using a P.D 930, I am just wonder if Core 2 Duo is better than mine.

Yep a core 2 duo is better than a pentium d.

Want proof look at these benchmarks: Tom's Hardware Guide Processors: CPU Charts 2006

It doesnt actually have the lowest core 2 duo which is the e6300 but the e6400 is very similar. You may be wondering why your pentium d has a much higher clock speed than 1.86ghz and how the core 2 duo can be faster.

Well it beats it by far because the core 2 duo hasa completely different architecture. However both processors are dual core.

Just continues to prove that hrz doesn't matter

Which is what AMD have said all along

Forgot to say that famous AMD line GarHar.

**** now make me want to buy a core 2 duo. any way thanks for the help ^^
