which interview ?

 

[sakthirajesh]

Cognizant

 

[Ankur Gupta]

Completely different architecture for both...thats the major difference apart from performance differences etc...

 

[Pathik]

The Intel Dual cores were just two single cores clubbed together... just a marginal increase in performance...
the Core 2 Duos hav two proccys on a single die wich leads to better energy efficiency and better processing power..

 

[~Phenom~]

Core Duo is the first generation dual core processors from intel.
Core 2 Duo is the second generation dual core processors from intel , which are more power efficient and tend to do more in less time.

In cognizant ??? damm .. why didn't they ask me this

 

[dOm1naTOr]

Dual cores are two seperate cores with its own cache.
But core 2 duo is like two multithreaded proccys having a shared cache, thereby eliminating the need for two seperate copies of same data in each cache, when both cores are doin same job.
