Processor

[Kniwor]

hey how u determine which processor is faster. does clock speed does not count so much. howz 2.6GHZ E6700 is faster than 3.GHZ dual core pentium processor. how u guys tell it. plz tel me more. i dont know much abt it

dude, there's much more to clock speed/L2 cache in a processor, the core is what makes the difference, given two processors of same core, and same L2 cache, the one with higher clock speed will be better.....


ho do we decide? we look at the benchmarks of the processors, after years of looking at them continuously, a tree is formed in the mind..lol... u know which is better than other, just go out and look for benchmarks, it's that simple

The Core 2 Duo is really fast. The lowest Core 2 Duo is faster than the fastest Pentium 4/D. Its because has adopted a new architecture (Core is it?) than the Pentium's "Netburst"(?) so the clock speeds are on a different planes so to speak.

 

[nvidia]

dude the 3ghz intel pros are all older makes

 

[fun2sh]

can any1 tell abt processors in detail n how exactly is C2D 1.6Ghz is fater than PD 3.4 Ghz

 

[vish786]

just wait for amd's new processor release and c tat time intel will b nowhere near amd's proccy

 

[nvidia]

you are right vish you all have to wait until the amd AM2+ socket pros are in the market then youll see

A Pentium D is just two processors crammed in one single package. So, both the cores operate Individually.
A C2D, on the other hand, is a native dualcore processor, with a total of roughly 291 million transistors.

So, a 4MB Cache in Pentium-D is nothing but 2 x 2MB, but in a C2D, it is 4MB.
This is just like a 1GB RAM giving a better performance than a 2x512MB RAM.

And, the instruction sets in both the processors are completely different.

 

[nvidia]

a single 1gb ram can never give better performance than 2X512 mb rams

 

[goobimama]

LOL. EC10304 was dead on until he pulled off that RAM example... Dual channel 512*2 gives much better performance than 1GB*1....

 

[vish786]

a single 1gb ram can never give better performance than 2X512 mb rams

do u hav some basis on tat point .... or r u making just a rough guess

 

[nvidia]

lets launch a poll and see

why poll???... i asked on wat basis r u telling tat???... dont u hav a why for the statement u make earlier

when you have two rams the load is shared between them makin them work faster dont you get it? if i ask you to do several things at a time it would be hard to you the same thing i give you an extra person then your work is eased its tht simple dont you get it?????!!!!!!!!

this is hardware dude... (not people)... i dont understand from where u got tat idea... the load which 2 rams can handle... the same load will be handled with the single ram.

 

[goobimama]

^^^ Uh....Anyone forgetting Dual Channel here?

what lame discussion is going on here....

two ram sticks do not work faster by themselves...

But, all modern solutions support Dual channel for ram, so If u have two identical ram modules in a motherboard, u can run them in dual channel mode, and increase the bandwidth/read/write speed dramatically..... almost double I must say.

so in the end 2x512Mb is better than single 1Gb stick
and 2x1Gb is better than single 2Gb stick

idea is somewhere in my mind... but its not flashing right row

finally the idea clicked almost forgot about it... thanks for reminding... tat is y never trust memory

this does not hold good for sdrams

 

[ECE0105]

My apologies guys... I forgot about the Dual-Channel thing here...

Correction to my post. Since all RAM is dual-channel these days, 1 GB < 2x 512MB

But I hope I have cleared fun2sh's doubt to a little extent atleast...

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700.

Intel CPU is used my most of the computers in this world due to its HIGH performance.

I would disagree with that... AMD is a relatively new player and it was moving at a very good pace, when Intel upset the party by introducing the C2D.

AMD will Hit back, sooner or later. Then, maybe we wud have C4Quad instead of the Normal Quadcore proccy that Intel's come out with....
