Which is better: intel core 2 duo OR AMD turion 64×2 mobile technology?
hi mate intel core 2 duo is better for many reasons the main being that amd turion54 x 2 mobile technology is only used in notebooks were as core 2 duo is used in both notebooks and desktops also core 2 duo chips can reach higher clock speeds and run cooler due to a better manufacturing process,the better the production process the faster the cpu can run without creating that much heat however the AMD turion 64×2 is by no means a bad processor..it uses a 90nm(nanometer) process except for the tyler core which uses a 65nm process which is the same as the core 2 duo heres the specs for the amd turion 64×2 : Dual AMD64 core L1 cache: 64 + 64 KiB (data + instructions) per core L2 cache: 512 KiB per core, fullspeed Memory controller: dual channel DDR2-800 MHz (12.8 GB/s full-duplex CPU/RAM bandwidth) 100 MHz granularity (Dynamic P-state Transitions) MMX, Extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, AMD64, PowerNow!, NX Bit, AMD-V Socket S1, HyperTransport (1600 MHz) Power consumption (TDP): 31, 33, 35
