Processors General Difference and Comparison?
Does the Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 works as like Intel Core 2 Duo E4500?? Because i've found that these 2 processor uses the same Core Architecture.

- Read www.TomsHardware.com if you are really interested. Quick rundown: The Core Duo label has been around for a while. It spans different processors. In general, the difference is often that newer processors are done on a smaller scale (45nm is the latest) which makes them use MUCH less power. They also frequently change the size of the cache and other features which influence performance, and often change how fast (Mega HZ) the processor can run. To get the difference between these two, check that site.
- The major difference between the two listed is the cache. This is a section that pre-loads information from the memory for faster processing. The extra 1mb of cache on the e4500 will make a significant difference in computer speed. Other processor specs not related, but may help you find what you are shopping for: FSB - This is how much information the CPU can take in at any given time, and IMO much much more important then proc speed. nm - You will see (in the examples above) a "65nm process" under their description. This is the weld thickness used to when making the chip. The thinner the weld, the less heat produced and more streamlined (for lack of a better word) the information path will be. Pay close attention to price when shopping for a CPU, not all of Intels prices have settled yet. Some may be real deals compared to others. Higher the FSB and cache, the happier you will be with your proc, assuming your mobo can handle it. GL!
