Re: Dual core or single processor?




If you wait until July 27, the Core 2 Duo will be widely available.
That CPU uses less power than even AMD and runs cooler.

Tom Lake

The reviews of Intel's Conroe chip (now Core 2 Duo) state 20% faster than
AMD's fastest (FX-62) with power consumption down to 65 watts (75 for the
top of the line Core Duo 2).
Wait till release of Core 2 Duo to buy it or for massive price cuts by AMD.
