Like Pentium 1.Core 2 Duo is Core 2, which also has two cores inside. Like Pentium II. The main difference is in architechture, like Core 2 has 64bit processing natively. It also consumes less power and runs faster at the same clock speed. On a realistic note however, the performance difference is somewhere in the 10% range...If you go to an Apple store, you will only get Core 2 Duo Macbooks... They have an edge of the core duo ones in that they have a larger HDD, Wireless-N, and more RAM...</blockquote>
