What is the differance between core 2 dual and the new i-5

by JETBART - 2/18/10 6:50 PM

Is there any differance between the intel core2 duo and the intel I-5 with the same amount of ram ddr3. Is it worth more money to get the new I-5

Since detailed web pages are available I must keep it short.

1. Hyperthreading is back. You will see better performance in most apps.
2. It's lower power so longer life.
3. It has VTx. (google that!)

NVIDIA GeForce G 105m DDr3 comes with the I-5 Computer or the ATI mobility Radeon with 1024mb dedicated video memory ddr3 comes with the core 2 Duo.

But the former would give you better battery times whereas the later would be better for gamers.
