Core2duo 3.0 and Core2Quad 2.4

30-40% is just a conservative estimate, i wouldnt be surprised if it was 50-70% faster when encoding/decoding stuff

even if its 85% faster, i would not consider it multicore efficient.

98% increase is what i would call effcient, but i think thats close to impossible on how the current intel quadcores are made

still im happy i bought the Q6600 even tho i barely use more than 1 core..

and your reply was

So your telling him to grab the more expensive processor for office work ?

since he posted about asking why the 3.0Ghz C2D ( E6850 ) is more expensive as compared to the 2.4Ghz C2Q ( Q6600 )
even if quads are expensive for office work alone but given both processors as a choice the quad wins in both price and performance.

oh..i thought C2D is more cheaper than C2Q..

[grss1982]

depends on the purpose... but if its only for Word, Excel or any other office applications, Core2Duo will suffice.

Uhmmm... Is'nt that a bit of OVERKILL?

I thought I Celeron D or P4 in LGA775 would more than suffice for such tasks.

Im not sure if i can recall the exact numbers but the hottest P4 is rated at 195watts TPD where as the hottest C2Q is 105W ?

That's about right.

But, IIRC it wa the Prescott and EE versions of the P4, which ran very hot. The earlier Northwoods were much more cooler than the two later types. I actually had a 2.8 Prescott and on idle it was like 55 C.

how about the c2d life span...... when ni cya probably ma obsolete? basin after next 2 years ma obsolete na ang c2d and Quad

T_T im tihik man gud....

Not necessarily.
But im sure two brains are more than one.
