does Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz > an intel (R) pentium (R) dual cpu T2390 @ 1.86 ghz 1.87 ghz


I ask because I am not sure if the dual processor is counted twice and therefore more speed than the pentium 3.2

it is counted twice.

however, i believe in quad cores, you only use 2 most of the time any way.

so going with a dual is probably better any way.

ty!

yes

wtf u guys are talking out ur ass pentium 4 3.2 ghz proc is a old ass desktop proc based on netburst arcitecture witch is a failure.

its a single core proc


and the other one the T2390 is a laptop processor and no you dont count it twice thats not how it works.


processors are based on how many calculations they can perform per second.

and wether u can utilize more than 1 core depends on the program.


programs have to be coded to use more than 1 core

if its not ur not going to see much increase


also its retarded and pointless to compare desktop and laptop cpu's

lol the pentium 4's were good, there's nothing wrong with them. learn to spell idiot
