Dual Core Laptop CPU comparison

Laptop CPU comparison, We passed is under the x-rays Intel Core 2 Duo and AMD Turion 64 X2, and tried a few models with our test suite.

The Turion 64 X2 Meets Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile
The balance of forces in the desktop processor market is clear: the Intel Core 2 Duo in the head (Intel Core 2 Duo, a gold medal in all specialties), while the family of AMD Athlon 64 X2 follows in the rear (L ' AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 + can compete with Core 2 Duo?). But the situation is the same for the Laptop market?

Intel maintains a strict classification for its processors. Previous generations of CPUs with a single core were called "Pentium" for the desktop and "Pentium M" for the mobile (although they were based on very different architectures). All modern dual-core mobile and desktop computers are called "Core Duo" (Yonah) or "Core 2 Duo" (Merom).

Laptop CPU comparison  In contrast, AMD has introduced a different brand for its mobile processors: the Turion 64. While with a single core Turion CPUs have been available for a couple of years, the dual-core version, the Turion 64 X2 (Turion 64 X2, AMD's Dual Core Laptop) (Taylor or Trinidad), and was presented in late spring of 2006, this was shortly before the launch of Core 2 Duo architecture. The adoption of the Turion 64 X2 has been very slow, in favor of the Centrino platform, which integrated the mobile processor, core logic and wireless connectivity solution.

Laptop cpu comparison, unfortunately it has become impossible for the novice to decipher the model number of AMD and Intel (Intel Pentium - decode the names of the CPU). Both companies follow their nomenclature to express the clock speed, functionality and power consumption, all with a single number. Dropping GHz as the sole indicator of performance was definitely a good move, since the speed affects only part of the calculation of the performance of modern CPUs. Unfortunately, the nomenclature of the products requires some knowledge in order to determine exactly, for example, the performance level of a Turion 64 X2 TL56.

Laptop cpu comparison, while many Laptop on the market are based on Pentium M and Turion 64, not to mention all the low-cost processors, the future clearly belongs to the dual-core processors. Two cores not only translate into higher performance, but also increase the responsiveness of the system - this is the main reason why today we do not recommend the purchase of a single-core, especially if you want a Laptop to the future. Although the energy requirements - which must be as low as possible if you want high autonomy - are negligible given that the modern multi-core processors are able to turn some of their shares when they are unused.
