Which one is better??? This processor (CORE 2 DUO 1.8GHZ) Or a Dual Core 3.0 GHZ??

It depends on a lot of things. You have to take into consideration FSB, cache, the new features of the core 2 duo chips, if your motherboard can handle it, etc. I'm currently running a low end dual core pentium d 2.66ghz and it would not perform as good as this e4300 even though it's faster. It has a smaller cache and slower fsb among other things. Processor frequency is like a lot of other things, sometimes quality is better than quantity; a higher frequency will almost never dictate whether or not it will perform well.

The quad-core processor chips have 4 processor cores in them, compared to the 2 in a Dual/Duo core. The theory is that if you have multiple cores, you can split up the work between them so they'll run more quickly and efficiently. Only 4 cores not 8 cores

Received my two and it is in fact 1.6GHz... I guess it was just amazon as usual not taking the time out to get these little details corret. Go ahead and buy and remember it only has 2gb ram so if ya buy two like i did you can just grab an 8gb kit and sell back one with 4gb... no brainer.

Ah....the customer service rep I talked to said the description (Dual Core) is right and the title (Quad Core)is wrong. Conflicting stories I guess. He said that Amazon does the title, the supplier does the technical description. Though it looks like now the technical description has been changed to say "Quad Core" The retail price looks like it matches the current retail price of the Dual 3.0 Quad Core...I don't know, your guess is as good as mine!

overclocks VERY well; I can push my old core 2 duo from stock 1.6 all the way to 2.2

It' not dual-core unfortunately, the laptop is not built for gaming or any high graphics or high speed operations. I just use this laptop as a tool for studying.

Intel's Core i7-3517U CPU is 1.9GHz. Amazon has an error in their specifications, so I will submit a catalog correction request.

Yes, it is a great processor. However, I would look at getting the 5820k because its newer and a little bit faster.

It's a dual core Atom. They have a newer version with an i3, but it way overpriced.

Mark probably knows better than me but I would have sworn the I7-3770 (if that's the one you're looking at) is a 3rd gen processor. But, I've been wrong before.

Its a dual core processor, but you have to set that preference in the bios.

Its the same processor, it goes from 1.7ghz to 2.7ghz when it needs to, depending on what you are doing.

Juan, when you're looking at CPU's, before making any decision think about what are your main uses for a tablet or any other computerized device. A cpu clocked at 1.2Ghz but with 4 cores would be better at multitasking compared to a 1.6Ghz dual core (2 cores) if you do lots of school work, or browse trough many applications at once, or even edit pictures and video then get a CPU with the most cores as possible. higher clockspeeds until now are good for gaming and loading times. Make your decision based on your needs, you can always do more research on your own. Good luck :)

i replace pentium dual core 1.8 for core 2 duo 3.06, in socket 775, is best machine...

Yes, it will easily be able to write, debug, compile and test on the Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHZ processor. You may want to consider upgrading the drive to 7200 or 10K speed.
