Hi, I am trying to know which processor for a desktop would heat less, a core i3 or a core2duo, supposing approximately equal clock speeds.

Thanks for your help, best regards, Eldis

Hello eldisviler;

Cpre 2 Duo generates less heat.
Core2 Duo E7500 (3M Cache, 2.93 GHz) Max thermal design power 65watts.
Core i3-530 (4M Cache, 2.93 GHz) Max thermal design power 73watts.
