I want to buy a laptop, can you suggest me which processor is better? AMD or Interl Dual Core? Thanks.

Tom D asked:


I have a Hewlett Packard Company Compaq Presario – AMD Sempron Processor 3400+ 1.79 GHz 448 MB of Ram. I want to upgrade to dual core. How do I do it?

Harihar Singh asked:


Notebook Processors
————————————————————————-

1. AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology
2. AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology
3. Mobile AMD Athlon™ 64
4. AMD Athlon™ 64 for DTR
5. Mobile AMD Sempron™

Which is the best and why? Can you give me the exact speed of each processor or the processor you know.

Stu asked:


I haven’t decided if I’m going to go with just a dual core or with the Phenom. I’ve been partial to Gigabyte boards but am willing to hear what others have to say.

os geek asked:


For the past few years, in the processor field, the trend has been slowly shifting from a single high Hz CPU to multicore processors. Intel has Xeon dual core and has managed to paste two such chips to bring out what it calls quad core, AMD still has only Opteron dual-core CPUs and is likely to release native quad-core chip next year. There are other smaller players like Azul claiming to have much more cores in a CPU but the real players are only four of them, the remaining two being IBM and Sun Microsystems. IBM along with partners worked on designing Cell chip but it is a special-purpose processor, not for general computing. Sun surprised everyone last year with its eight-core Niagara processor also known as UltraSparc T1. It not only had eight cores in a single chip, but has the capability to run 4 simultaneous hardware threads in each of them giving an impression to the OS of running on a 32 CPU machine.

Sun is going to follow it with Niagara 2 which will have twice the number of threads in each core, thus a virtual 64 threads in eight cores! While Niagara has one floating point unit (FPU) shared by all 8 cores thus slowing down the floating point performance, Niagara 2 will have an FPU for each core. It’ll also run with a higher clock rate. So it will be a complete server-on-a-chip when it comes out next year. Seems to be the most interesting processor at present.

Hope I Helped asked:


Im worried about the fact that the run hot…Well thats what i have heard. Is it true?

I am looking a dual cores(2.5Ghz+) because im looking for a fast computer that can handle multi tasking and media related things at the same time.

Is AMD(The better ones or about the same as the 2.5Ghz) better the dual core or just a different type of processor?

Waldo asked:


Like the 4800 in the AMD X2 Dual-Core 4800 or the 4500 in the Intel Core 2 Duo E4500? I know bigger number means faster, but is that number calculated from anything? Like processor speed + FSB speed or anything like that?
