Is Dual Core And Duo Core Two Different Terms With Respect To Processors?

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Duo is the Italian version of Dual, so this is the name of the processor in Europe recently.
    Computers sold in Italy have an Intel sticker on them, saying Centrino Due, which is a direct translation of Dual (Duo) core(centrino).
    This means that the processor has more space and speed and can handle different functions while other programs are running.

    So the answer is they are both the same processor, with two different names, in different languages, just made for a different market. If you go to Apple however, the labels always have American English as the default setting, when it comes to advertising and  branding.

    Also, "Core Duo" or "Core 2 Duo" is a trademark of Intel. They learned their lesson when everyone started releasing "386" and "486" chips, so started using names rather than numbers so they could copyright/trademark them. That's why we've got the Pentium rather than the 586...
