Which processor is better for a laptop? Core Duo or Core 2 Duo?

Core 2 Duo is the better processor. The Core Duo is its predecessor.



Unlike its desktop predecessor, Core 2 Duo comes from matching genealogy as the Core Duo. Despite the similarities in nickname and in architecture, here are some fairly crucial differences between the two CPUs. Compared to the desktop Core 2 Duo (Conroe), the mobile version is architecturally no different. Obviously clock speeds (both CPU and FSB) are lower because these things will be going surrounded by notebooks where on earth power consumption is more of a concern, but other than that the architectures are exact.



Compared to Yonah (Core Duo Mobile), Merom (Core 2 Duo Mobile) has some tremendously clear advantages; on the surface the larger L2 cache is responsible for the 140M increase in transistor count, but architecturally the improvements extend far beyond that. Simply put, Merom is wider and slightly deeper than Yonah. The slightly deeper pipeline help increase clock speeds on Merom (which will bump performance a bit), but the added make out and execution width will increase overall presentation.



Also, there are improvements to the cache subsystem and memory access on Core 2 Duo. Merom features more aggressive prefetchers than Yonah, as well as Intel's Memory Disambiguation technology that allows for bust loads. In other words, not only is Merom competent to operate on more data at once, at a faster speed, but it can also draw from access to that data quicker.



Good luck.
The Core 2 Duo is better, I believe.
Core 2 duo is better,is the ultimate generation of duo processors...for laptop run for T7200 or T7400 is the best you can get minus selling your house for...
Core 2 Duo. Faster, more energy restructured.
