Pentium 4. 3gig hyperthreading processor or pentium 4 D dual?

Do you know the difference between my 3 yr feeble pentium 4. 3gig hyperthreading processor and current pentium D dual core 3 gig processors

they are both pentiunm 4's, is one better than the other and why?



Thanks

Pentium 4. 3gig hyperthreading processor or pentium 4 D dual?

The Pentium 4 ht processor simulates a second processor, while the Pentium 4 D dual truly contains two processor cores. Because the Pentium 4D doesn't just simulate the second processor, it can do more surrounded by less time. If you're looking to acquire something new though, I'd recomend the AMD X2. It is unanimously better than the Intel dual core processors.
pentium d its 2 pentium 4s on a single socket
the hyperthreaded CPU has one TRUE processor, and one virtual one.

the Pentium D has two physical cores, and no virtual ones.

Get the P4D or a core2duo (socket775 right? both will fit.)
Dual core is much better, Due to the newer technology it can process more info faster. Two cores processing is like processing 50% on core 1 and 50% on core 2. It works smaller quantity but gets more experienced in 50% of the time.



You can process twice as much info on a dual core within the same amount of time it take to process the same info on a single core.
