    Improved SSE engine with more instructions
    Macro and Mrco-op fusion
    Improved prefetching

    hmm dats not sat simple eeh???lol..thz man;)
    so what if some 1 ask wus da differense...what can we say????i mean to a beginer

    Core 2 is faster than Pentium - is this what you asked? :rolleyes:

    Higher IPC = more instructions can be executed per clock. I think it's twice as P-D.

    Low latency cache = accessing cache is faster, not necessarily the cache is faster (cache runs at the same clock speed)

    Higher FSB = 800MHz vs 1066MHz (or 1333MHz - Kentsfield/Conroe Refresh or 1600MHz - upcoming)

    Branch Predictor = How successfully the answer to a conditional operation can be predicted

    SSE engine = more SSE instructions (for multimedia tasks - more work per clock because of complex instructions) and higher SSE bus width

    Micro and Macro fusion = certain operations can be combined together in one cycle. (such as assembly operations ADD, MOV etc.)

    Prefetching = bring new instructions to the execution unit while the other instructions are already being processed (removes wait cycles)

    ya damn;) i was so confused abt dat man:lol:
    About what? :confused: Pentium and Dual Core? :lol:
    PentiumD = Two Pentium4 (non-HT) cores (can execute two simultaneous threads)
    Pentium Extreme = Two Pentium4 (HT) cores (can execute four simultaneous threads)

    but all of dem havin a less technology dan c2d neda

    Then Core also contains P4 or P-D speeds (abt 2~3GHz) ne...

    are they powerful than Pentium?

    or How they work?
    1.86GHz Core2 Duo = 3.4GHz PentiumD in general = 4GHz+ PentiumD in games

    Then Do 2 Processors act Separately?

    I mean 1.86GHz works for one 1.86GHz & other Pros for other Work?
    (I mean 1.86+1.86=3.32GHz?)
