pentium dual core

hmmm, the true should be like this, not intel pentium dual core is the best, but intel core2duo is the best right now, but it's still overpriced if we compare with the other competitor I think, than if budget is not your limitation, go for it, otherside, go for x2 amd, it's more value for money.

A dual core processor is exactly what it sounds like. It is two processor cores on one die essentially like having a dual processor system in one processor. AMD's Opteron processor has been dual processor capable since its inception. Opteron was designed with an extra HyperTransport link. The relevance of it was mostly overlooked. HyperTransport Technology simply means a faster connection that is able to transfer more data between two chips. This does not mean that the chip itself is faster. It means that the capability exists via the HyperTransport pathway for one chip to "talk" to another chip or device at a faster speed and with greater data throughput.

the main conecept of dual core was actually developed by intel but i have seen review and some of them were very much technical and they all showed one thing that AMd is the better one than intel and infact intel does not utilises the actualy capacity of dual core technilogy. they use fsb to transfer data which is slow but amd actually uses a dual core so by default it is very fast.

based on what i've learned about dual core, it is twice faster than pentium 4. Best for Windows Vista, soon out of the market.

Dual core in technological sense is already an "old" processor. There's the current Core2Duo and the new QuacCore. I have a Clovertown core.

Ya there is a new processor. it is like two processor in one computer. it gives very good performance.

You'll see the power of the dual core if you do a lot of multi tasking jobs on your pc.
