Actually the real difference lies in the cache .. since you would find Pentium Dual Cores with 64 bit support .. as mentioned earlier in the article.

Finally the truth has come out. Previously, I somehow had the feeling that Core 2 Duo was just a marketing gimmick to prolonge Intel’s product lifecycle. Now we can clearly understand that Dual cores and Core 2 Duos are just the same the only difference lying in software compatability i.e. 32 bit and 64 bit.

This is a really informative topic. Nice post !

I think for a normal user or a home user there is no need to run for core 2 duo processor. I mean if you are a developer, or if you want to make your machine a server then core 2 duo will give you better performance specially with 64 bit operating system…

Otherwise for a user like me who only want to surf the internet, use word, excel, emails etc, dual core is also good.

“Core Duo is Intel’s first dual-core CPU. It’s a whole new architecture for Microsoft, using two cores on a single die, which, put simply, gives you two chips in one package. Running at lower speeds than the old Pentium line, the Core Duo conserves substantial power vs. ratcheting up clock speed while offering what was, at the time, record-breaking performance.

Now there’s Core 2 Duo. In many ways Core 2 is the same as Core: The chips are built using the same production process and fit in the same sockets as Core Duo chips”

If any one has some different experience please guide me truth about dual cores and core 2 duos
