core duo T2050 or turion TL-50 for notebook

[danc2heaven]

I'm trying to choose between the two for a new notebook please tell me what you think.
Also , which one is better with floating point.
Thanks

I have both a new Turion and a Core 2 Duo laptop. Both from the same company. Both with exact same specs (similarly priced CPU, graphics cards, hard drives, RAM, other).
The Core 2 wins. Period.
In battery life, floating point, 3Dmark06 scores, what ever you want to throw at it, beats the AMD setup.
As Jack so eloquently put it,

Core 2 Duo will spank it.

the T2050 is a core duo processor.Not core 2 duo

Are you sure that the T2050 is a core 2 duo? The T2050 is a Core Duo.

It isn't a Core 2 Duo. A T2050 is a "special" (cheaper) Core Duo running at 1.66 GHz with a 533 MHz FSB. Standard Core Duos have a 667 FSB. Not sure how much the slower FSB cripples it. Probably not a lot for the usual notebook tasks.

Two words: Pin mod.

sorry i tried to get back as soon as i could to edit out the core 2 part, it is just a core duo.

Ahhh... I did not notice the T2050 and correlate that to a Yonah... don't know how this would do myself, my statement is true Core 2 Duo will out perform, not too sure what the compare to Core Duo would be.

Jack

The Core 2 only brought around a 3-10% increase in performance, nothing to write home about.

A Poorion isnt even worth questioning

The only review/comparison of Core Duo vs. Core 2 Duo processors I've seen tested a standard Core Duo at its standard 667 FSB, not the cheaper special issue T2050 at its slower 533 FSB. Give it another 10% deduction for the slower bus speed? THEN is it still faster than the Turion? Maybe not. But I think it would be close, and would beat the Turion in power efficiency. Just guesses by me, since I've not seen the T2050 tested/compared to the standard T2300 Core Duo. But my wife's laptop has a T2250, same as the T2050 but runs at 1.733 MHz instead of 1.6, and we like it just fine.

Although standard Core Duo and the Turion processors support Virtualization Technology, I've read that the cheaper T2x50 variants (T2050, T2150, T2250) with the slower 533 FSB don't support VT, but I couldn't say who would care about that at this point.

Does anyone know what VT actually allows us to do, i read somewhere it was something about Operating systems. But i have never actually managed to clarify it, anyone here know what it means?
