Single Core Vs Multi Core | Dual Core Vs Core2Duo

At first glance the answer to this question is simple and obvious, two core's equals more processing power. It's a simple equation of doubling your processing power and doubling your speed. So many like may think what is the difference between intel's Dual core and Core2Duo processors. The answer to this is simple,

Intel Pentium D CPU comprises of two dies, each containing a single core residing next to each other on a multi-chip module package. The Pentium D consumes a relatively high power. It runs very hot and is not a good OverClocker.

Intel Dual Core is the first dual-core CPU from Intel. The Dual core makes use of two cores on a single die i.e it has two chips in one package. It solves the problem of overheating of Intel Pentium D without compromising on the performance.

Intel Core 2 Duo processors are the next gen processors from Intel. It is developed with a new Architecture called Core. The new architecture of Intel core2 duo makes it a lot better processor that runs cool. Most importantly the Intel core2 duo is a super over clocker.
