Can anyone who understands computers tell me which processor is better- Intel core 2 duo or AMD turion x2 rm75? Both run ati radeon hd 4530?

Both processor are quite similar, but you don't specify an Intel Core 2 Duo model to compare with, so I selected the closest processor - Merom as references : AMD Turion 64 X2 RM-75 Codename : Griffin Manufacturing Architecture : 65nm Clockspeed : 2.2GHz L2-Cache : 2 x 512KB Multiplier : 11x Power consumption : 35W Release Date : Q4 2008 Support : MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, Enhanced 3DNow! , NX bit, AMD64, PowerNow! , AMD-V Intel Core 2 Duo T-7250 Codename : Merom Manufacturing Architecture : 65nm Clockspeed : 2.2GHz L2-Cache : 2MB Multiplier : 10x Power consumption : 35W Release Date : Sept 2007 Support : MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT, As you can see Intel Core 2 Duo technology was launched a year ahead, with 2MB to 4MB L2-cache.By the time AMD Turion X2 is launched, Intel also shipping the next generation Penryn processors manufacture in 45nm, with 2MB to 6MN L2-cache and higher clockspeed.

If compare apple to apple, both Griffin and Merom are hardly a match because Merom has a bigger 2MB L2-cache, which allow it to process faster. Bear in mind these are numbers game, when you are using the computer, it performaces very much depends on the whole configuration (RAM, mainboard, OS) and not just base on the muscle of the processor clockspeed. If you are using the computer for internet surfing or office applications, you will hardly see any difference between both processors.

IMHO computer with AMD processor is cheaper, so you can use the difference in price to pump up your RAM, so that it help boost up the performace. AMD also good for gaming too. Hope this help.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
