Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz (2 CPUs) is dual core or wat?

And Comparison about these 2 lousy processor old intel 2.6GHz or the above better?

Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz (2 CPUs) is dual core.

Of course a dual core processor always better than a single core processor.
your old intel 2.6ghz is Pentium 4 right ?

Aiya, google 'dual-core' please. You'll get all the answers you are seeking there.

What a super noob question

Wikipedia + Google is your best friend

Learn how to use it next time

OT: i would like to share about a friend who has a damn lousy idea about dual core processor

He saw in the lyp's pricelist stating "AMD AthlonX2 Dual Core processor", and guess what he said?

"Wow, the processor is dual core, yet X2 (times 2), so it means this processor is quad-core because dual core times 2 becomes 4!"

And after I showed him the statement "Intel Core 2 Duo", he said almost the same thing:

"Wow, the processor is dual core, yet got word for Duo there, so it means this processor is quad-core because dual core times Duo (2) becomes 4!"



err, hope my story is understandable

hahaha.
I lol hard at kalakatu's friend.

AMD Athlon X2 is Quad Core.
Core 2 Duo is Quad Core. hahahahhahaha

Dual core is 2 cores in one processor. Where as dual cpu is for server if im not mistaken . Dual cpu requires a motherboard that supports 2 processor.

Please ask your friend if he wanna buy my Core 2 Duo. I'm sellin' at a quad core price specially for him

lol...i tink dis question should go into the *****noob question section..sorry..no hard feelings

A simple way to view it:

Dual core = Physically 1 processor only. Inside actually 2 CPUs.

Quad core = Physically 1 processor only. Inside actually 4 CPUs.

Dual CPU = Physically 2 processors. Inside each CPU could be 1, 2 or 4 CPUs.

i try relate this in terms of cars ..
dual core is like 2 exhaust left n right at the back of ur car
single is like only normal standard 1 exhaust

so in output terms..
which u think better?

err.. 2 processors..?
maybe 2 different separate cars running each on its own
