Dual core vs core 2 duo

[Guest]

Hello,
which better between intel pentium dual core e5300 2,6 Gh and Core2Duo e4500 2,2 Ghz?

The pentium dual core will be better, as it overclocks amazingly. It is also more power efficient per amount of calculations.

The e5x00 and e6x00 pentium-dual-cores use the same wolfdale architecture as e7x00 and e8x00 core2duos. The only difference is less instruction sets and less cache.

They perform better than the old e4x00 and e6x00 core2duos.
