    Dual core is simply a generic term referring to any processor package with two physical CPUs in one. The Pentium D, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 are all current CPUs that have dual cores in one package.

    The Pentium D is simply two Pentium 4 Prescott cpus inefficiently paired together and ran as dual core.

    The Core Duo is Intel's first generation dual core processor based upon the Pentium M (a Pentium III-4 hybrid) made mostly for laptops (though a few motherboard manufacturers have released desktop boards supporting the Core Duo CPU), and is much more efficiently than Pentium D.

    The Core 2 Duo is Intel's second generation (hence, Core 2) processor made for desktops and laptops designed from the ground up to be fast while not consuming nearly as much power as previous CPUs.


    Note - Intel has dropped the Pentium name in favor of the Core architecture as Intel is restructuring and refocusing it's efforts to become number one again (and are doing a fine job, might I add).

    The AMD Athlon X2 CPUs have two revisions, the first one is essentially very similiar to the Pentium Ds in that they are simply two Athlon 64 chips fused together, making power requirements quite steep (around 89 watts). The second revision is made more efficiently, like the Core Duos, with much less power consumption (around 65 watts).

    The dual core and the core duo are the processors having two core rocessors on a single physical processor. The only major difference is the cache memory on the dual core processor will be individual for for each core and workes only for the core to which it is assigned.But the cache memory on the core duo processor will be share for both the cores depending on the usage of the application.
    This is the major difference between the dual core and the core duo processor.

    this is somebody said :P but this is exact answer.... :)

    Pentium dual core is a deprecated technology. Core series is more advanced than Pentium dual core.
    More energy efficient. More instruction executions per clock cycle. If u are buying a PC better 2 go for a dual core.

    In many cases core 2 duo CPUs will have less GHz numbers than dual core. But core 2 duo will give more performance because more instructions per clock ( IPC ).

    See Core 2 duo 1.8 has more score than dual core 3.2 :D

    The Simple facts are,

    All Core 2 Duo Processors are Dual Core Processors..
    All Pentium D Processors are Dual Core Processors..
    All Intel Dual Core Processors are Dual Core Processors…



    Pentium D is nothing but 2 Prescott Processors side by side… runs very hot, not a good OverClocker…

    Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors from Intel on 65 nm platform… developed from Ground up with new Architecture called Core… so they are whole new Processors just Jump like Pentium 2 to Pentium 3 or Pentium 4… Expect one Core 2 Duo Lowest End Processors like E4400/E4300 taking up and beating Intel Pentium D 3.8 GHz ones with ease … runs damn cool and super over clocker…

    Intel Dual Core Processors are striped down version of Core 2 Duos.. there are 2 in Market for Desktop range, E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB and E2160 with 1.8 GHz with same specs of E2140…. these are not Pentium D rather they are same batch like Core 2 Duo based on the new Core Technology…. they perform same like Core 2 Duos but they were launched with a very low price to counter the market of super low cost but high performer AMD X2 range line up to AMD X2 4000….
