I’d definitely take the E4500, Core 2 Duo without hesitations. I found this interesting post from devhardware forum…credit goes to the author. Tomshardware Benchmark : Does cache really improve performance : HERE For one thing, it only comes with 1 MB instead of 4 MB, for another, it is limited to a maximum clock speed of 2 GHz on an 800 MHz FSB. The Pentium Dual-Core models E2140 and E2160 as well as the newer additions E2180 and E2200 all possess a full-fledged Core 2 Duo core that has only been pared down in two respects, allowing Intel to sell a low-cost part.

Unless you go for 6 MB Cache Core 2 Duo processor, clocking at 3 GHz (8000 series) which will cost you around RM 600.00 Is it worth to add another RM200 to get C2D which has same frequency with Pentium Dual Core? NO.it is not. C2D will represent intel CPU for premium segment, Pentium Dual Core to fight direcly with cheap AMD Athlon 64 x2 CPU and Celeron is targeted to fight Sempron. Intel want to separate premium segment CPU, midle segment and cheap segment CPU. So, why the heck they name it Pentium Dual Core if the architecture of Pentium Dual Core equivalent to Core 2 Duo? Pentium Dual Core is totally different CPU compare to Pentium 4.

: HEREīear in mind, Pentum Dual Core is not Pentium D or Pentium 4 D. Link : See how Tomshardware overclock Pentium Dual Core 1.6 GHz to unbelievable 3.5 GHz without any exotic cooler. But for most user who dont give a damn about overclocking, having faster FSB might improve their system responsiveness. Mainly, because we can overclock it to 1333 MHz FSB without any much problem, since most of current mobo run at 1333 MHz without any complain. For me, this limitation is an advantage for Pentium Dual Core. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, it is limited to FSB 800 only. However, C2D currently running on 800, 10 FSB. But, C2D processor will cost you another 100 percent increase ( base on Pentium Dual Core price) (RM 200 cheaper to C2D same GHz)įrom various benchmark, having extra 1 MB cache might improve the performance of the CPU up to 10%, depend on application. However, think again when you see Pentium Dual Core will only cost you merely RM 200. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, which has 1 MB cache, you might think, C2D is a better choice. The cheapest C2D has 2 MB cache, which around RM 400 right now. Thats it.Ĭore 2 Duo processor has 2, 3, 4 or even 6 MB Cache, depend on the product code. Well, the truth is, both CPU are 95 % identical, which the other 5% reserve to C2D processor has higher L2 Cache size. Some of you might still wondering, either it is a smart choice to fork out another RM 200 to get C2D with equivalent gigahertz. What is the main difference between budget CPU (Pentium Dual Core) vs premium CPU (Core 2 Duo)?
