its a dual core but if your asking is it the same as core 2 duo then the answer is no the core 2 duo is faster and better for gaming but the pentium D isn't awful

basically its just 2 pentium 4's stuck together., the Pentium D is not awful its just not as good as the Core 2 duo and its AMd counterparts.

The Pentium D is really only good If you are on a tight budget, and you absolutely have to have a dual core processor. If you can spare an extra, say 15 or 20 dollars, you can get the AMD Athlon 64 X2
