Pentium Dual Core is the same as E2x00 series, and E5x00 series. The minor differences are:

E2x00 = 65nm , 1mb cache
E5x00 = 45nm, 2mb cache

Not to be mixed up with Pentium D P4, which is old tech.

The Core2 Dual encompasses:

E4x00
E7x00
E6x00
E8x00

but it doesnt mean that all the c2d line up is better than the pdc's? (e4xxx vs e5xxx)

Reply to BruceOTB

They aren't better in their design, because PDC uses the same micro architecture as C2D. Cache, FSB, SSE4 are the big differences.
