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)?
