Core 2 Duo E6700 vs Pentium D 945. Which Processor is better?

Dolphing Kujog · Oct 29, 2014

I have this old motherboard with a Pentium D Processor 945
(4M Cache, 3.40 GHz, 800 MHz FSB). I am planning to upgrade on Core 2 Duo Processor E6700
(4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) but I don't know which one is better.

The Core2Duo.

Core 2 Duo is faster. It's because of a more efficient architecture, Pentiums were not that great to begin with so making them Dual core wasn't impressive. The C2D's were a big improvement and many were amazing for overclocking.

The Core 2 duo is better. Check that your board supports it.

The E6700 is a much faster processor, with better single and multi threaded performance as well as TDP.

The Core 2 Duo E6700 is much better than the Pentium. It has about double the overall and single thread performance of the Pentium.

all of you guys, thank you so much for your answers. I guess I will be buying that one since that's the max CPU my motherboard can handle.

You would be much better off buying a very cheap motherboard and CPU from a current generation. The Core2 is 8 years old at this point.
