What is the difference between the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor and the Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor?

In: Microprocessors

[Edit]

Intel Processors

The Intel Dual Core processor has two distinct processor cores inside one chip. AMD's X2 and Opterons (Denmark, Italy, Egypt, Sta Rosa and Sta Ana cores), Intel's Pentium D, Pentium EE, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo (Conroe, Allendale) and Xeon (Paxville, Tulsa, Conroe, Dempsey and Woodcrest cores) are ALL DUAL CORES.

Core2 Duo is specifically a new technology, high performance processor that does more per clock cycle and at lower wattage.

Cheapest version= Pentium E2140 and E2160.
Still cheap but better= E4300, E4400, E4500 (Allendale)
Fast Core2 Duo = E6xxx series
Awesome = Core2 Extreme X6800
