General Mac hardware discussions: Are there any battery comparison of Core solo vs. Duo chips?
Are there any battery comparison of Core solo vs. Duo chips?
by sup909 - 5/6/06 10:45 AMDoes anyone have power consumption or battery life information on the Core solo vs. the Core duo chips?
Rumors suggest the new macbook will be in both core solo and duo. I don't plan on doing any major computing projects beyond the occasional iLife project so would one thing I would need the core duo?
Is the cpu power vs. battery life difference worth getting the solo over the duo? Does getting a duo over the solo add much in terms of longevity to the latptop?

Guess we will have to wait until both such machines exists before we can start making any form of comparisons.
As soon as Apple announces the versions, you can be assured that there will be comparisons made

This information is gleaned from intel.com and why you may find the dual core may win in low power modes. The final outcome may have to wait for real hardware.

Performance of Core Duo vs Centrino
by LorinT - 5/8/06 7:09 AM In reply to: Are there any battery comparison of Core solo vs. Duo chips? by sup909I recently got a new Sony laptop with a Core Duo processor, and since it runs at the same 1.8 GHz clock speed as my other Dell with a Centrino, I decided to do some performance testing. Here's the results:

Doesn't talk about battery life at all, but at least it addresses your question about CPU power.
