The AMD Turion X2 is based on nothing more than that can better handle graphics programs such as Photoshop, AutoCAD and others more.
The Core 2 Dou works better as it relates to process information and do not lock your machine a lot.
I want to thank you for engineering work as autocad and all those types of programs.
the computer was thinking this is buy HP Pavilion tx1205us 12.1 "Convertible? will be a good computer with all that is needed today and if anyone knows of this can tell me more about it?
Hi everyone!
I'd like to ask you for some help. I'm currently choosing between 2 laptops, however, I cannot decide which one to take.
One of them has: AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80 2.1 GHz (and 4GB (2 x 2GB), 800MHz, DDR2)
While the other one has: Intel Core2 Duo P8400 2,26 GHz (3GB (2GB+1GB), 800MHz, DDR2).
Both of them as well have ATI HD3650 512MB. Which one should I choose? Money is no issue here.
The Intel Core 2 outperforms the AMD chip by a wide margin.
“Intel’s Core processor family is rather dominant, and clearly offers better performance than the Turion 64 X2 family. If performance is what you’re looking for, AMD’s Turion 64 X2 is hardly an alternative. However, performance depends very much on a mobile computer’s particular configuration: memory size and speed, hard drive spindle speed and the graphics subsystem (discrete vs. shared graphics) have quite an impact on the result. Last but not least, keep processor performance in perspective: weight and battery runtime may be even more important to you anyway. In the end, we consider it very important to compare complete notebooks (and their costs) rather than focusing on CPU performance too much.”
For performance, the Intel line is the way to go at the moment for notebooks (and desktops too actually).
You can see for yourself how the performance numbers scale with the price, and it would be difficult to find a reason to purchase the AMD Turion processor, as the T2300 is cheaper and faster. Of course, overall notebook performance does depend on several factors however you would be hard pressed to find an AMD based notebook with a configuration that you could not match with an Intel processor.
the Intel Core 2 Duo is about 5 to 10% faster clock per clock compared to the AMD processors. Since they have the same clock frequency is can be said that the Core2Duo is slightly faster.
Thanks to everyone for your valuable answers! Sounds like C2D is an absolute winner here...
