The Core 2 Duo would offer better performance. If you can pick up an AMD processor for cheaper, and don't need the best possible performance, they are still a decent option.
I like AMD more, but the Core 2 Duos are better than the X2's. Now single cores...AMD has always had the lead, and the 64 and SC FX's are leagues ahead of Celeron D, Pentium 4 and D

What? The Pentium 4 w/ HT can outperform the Athlon 64 single core, and the Celerons beat the Semprons with ease.
1. Does it cost the same?...and plus, there is no way a Pentium 4 w HT (which is just hyperthreading) can be faster than a fx-55... 2. I meant that the 64 compared to a Celeron D... so nvm,

I have a P4 2.66 with HT, and it is woefully slow compared to my Athlon 64 3800+, besides, Intel and AMD rate their CPU's differently. The 3800 performs at a Intel Hertz of 3.78 or so...

I meant that the 64 compared to a Celeron D... so nvm, 1. AMD single core CPUs cost a lot more than there Intel counter parts. I'm talking about the regular 500 and 600 series of processors as well. 2. I was comparing the lowest end to the lowest end. Celeron vs Sempron sounds fair to me.

I'm not including the EE or the FX single cores. I'm just talking about the regular Pentium 4s vs the regular Athlon 64s. The Pentium 4, despite being tarnished for its older brother, Pentium D, is not that bad of a single core processor. They're cheap, offer HT tech and perform pretty good.
To me, it would depend on what they were offering for video cards with the laptops. If the options where C2D + radeon x1300 vrs athlon64 x2 3800+ + mobility 7900gs, I would take the AMD laptop.
Its all about a balance of parts. A dreamworld processor is useless without the ram and video card to back it up.
[QUOTE="r3351925"][QUOTE="Cyborg-21"]The problem with Pentium 4s is that they produce a lot of heat.Cyborg-21
yeah this is right, i dunno why? I think it's the Netburst Architecture itself. I mean, my P4 runs at 69 C on load ! i dont think so cause c my pd 945 never passed 39 under load.

WTF? Dual core cooler than a single :oX360PS3AMD05
Yep. Just goes to show how much processor architecture improved. The Pentium 4s, especially ones based on the Prescott core, literally operate at 70 C for years and years.
Are you building a budget rig? AMD for budget, intel otherwise. Or...if you wait a month or so the Core 2 Duos are supposed to drop in price and you can have a solid budget intel system thats better than the budget AMD system.

What? The Pentium 4 w/ HT can outperform the Athlon 64 single core, and the Celerons beat the Semprons with ease. The Athlon 64 architecture was much better. The only time that Pentium 4's outperformed them was when they were clocked really high. Clock for clock, Athlon 64's outperform ANY Pentium 4's...
Even that pentium D is dual core n built on netburst its still cool really shows that intel is improving everything.r3351925
It's mainly the manufacturing process. When the components on the die are smaller, less electricity moves through them faster, which produces faster possible speeds and reduces heat.

Correct me if I am wrong - but the Pentium D uses 90nm does it not ? The die size of the Pentium D's are down to 65nm, but the older ones used a 90nm die.
How good are the Pentium D 9 series reference HSFs ?Cyborg-21
for u cyborg u can check ur mail cause i had sent u a screenshot of how good HSFs of pd 945 r on ur demand, in winter it runs under load at 25 C.
[QUOTE="r3351925"]my pentium d 945 is presler 65nm die.-GeordiLaForge-
Have you tried overclocking it? about overclocking i reached 4.2 stable with stock heat sink, but i never use it at that speed because i think its overstressing the ram, but there is no thermal problems after ocing, it runs really cool.
