Is my Dual Core 3.2ghz faster than the Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz?

I want to upgrade to the C2D from my current Dual Core, but would this be logical?

links r wrong..?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

i would upgrade if u can sell off your old CPU

 

[mitchhamlin]

Woops, they are reversed! My bad, will fix right now.

 

[mitchhamlin]

I planned to sell it off for about $100 or so, maybe $80. I might possibly make a trade on Craigslist for the same C2D.

Just to let you know....A 2.2 ghz C2D ~= 4.4 Pentium D... Yes its that bad.

Hang on, I'm dislexic, I accidentally voted yes, so subtract 1 yes and move it over to no.




It's getting early.

My Pentium D 820 @ 3.0GHZ is almost equal (slightly slower) to a Pentium E2140 @1.6ghz. Your Pentium D 935 @ 3.2ghz would be a lot slower than a C2D @ 2.2ghz.

Alright, Thanks guys! You really helped make my decision. :beer:

 

[hennethannun]

sure it's faster. says so right in the topic title.

Of course, the C2D is better. It is far more efficient and performs many more operations per clock cycle. so even though it doesn't run as fast, it gets more done in the same amount of time.

@mitchhamlin - Do you have a working Pentium D 935 system? If so, I would be thankful if you'd download and run my x264 benchmark with it since I currently don't have data for that chip in the table. You can compare the results from it to any number of C2D chips by the way.

BTW, there are currently data in the table for 15 Allendale-based chips including the E2140, E2160, E4300, and E4500.
