(1)..What is the difference between an Intel Core 2 Duo and an Intel Core 2 Quad?
>...The Simple facts are,
All Core 2 Duo Processors are Dual Core Processors..
All Pentium D Processors are Dual Core Processors..
All Dual Core Processors are Dual Core Processors…
Pentium D is" 2 Prescott Processors side by side"
Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors , whole new Processors
Intel Dual Core Processors are just launched striped down version of Core 2 Duos there are 2 in Market for Desktop range, E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB and E2160 with 1.8 GHz with same specs of E2140........they were launched with a very low price to counter the market of super low cost
The Core 2 Duo has two cores inside a single physical package. The Core 2 Quad has four cores in its package. In applications that utilize multithreading, such as Photoshop or video editing, you will see a tremendous improvement over a Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed. In single-threaded applications, there will be less of an improvement.
AND
Actual Difference between both Process is about Load Balancing. DUAL CORE have two Processors in Series both working at same time. while CORE 2 DUO have two Parraral Processors which sharing their load. if one processor heatup then it transfer load to next processor. means parraral processing. - Asif ([email protected])
Sorry bro, but you have got it totally wrong. Actually, there is no difference between dual core and core 2 duo. Intel just name its recent family of dual core processors as "core 2 duo". Both (core 2 duo and dual core) works in same fashion
