duo core processor

Yes it is 64bit. All new (currently being produced) consumer CPUs you can get have 64bit registers.
 
It's a yes :)
Your friend is right, I'm not sure if he was oversimplifing things or not though. They can run 32 or 64bit OS'
 
I'm not one to disagree with you cromewell, but I'm almost 100% sure yonah (core duo) is not 64 bit :confused:

i read the reviews and ppl are puting these in laptops i assume it will work on desktop mobos too? how does a 2.0ghz core duo equals to what speed of a p4.

these are a mobile chip designed for laptops. So it's more fair to say, that people are putting these in desktops ;)
as for the desktop mobo; you will need one specifically for the cpu (it may be s478, but that not the same 478 as the old northwoods/prescotts), and the chipset is i945 and above.


As for a comparison the a p4, cant really make one but if you could it would be damn high

Well a Pentium M 2.0Ghz is equal to a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz.

in some things maybe, but not accross the board, the only thing that matches a p4 3.2, is another p4 3.2 from the same batch

i was just referring to what AnandTech said when they were comparing them.
AnandTech said:
Take the first Pentium Ms for example; at 1.6GHz, the first Pentium Ms were faster than 2.66GHz Pentium 4s in notebooks in business and content creation applications. More recently, the first 2.0GHz Pentium Ms based on the Dothan core managed to outperform the Pentium 4 3.2GHz and the Athlon 64 3000+.

according to newegg it doesn't support 64-bit. that whole extension thing doesn't make sense to me but either way its a good processor.
id say its closer to a P4 3.4ghz. think about it, it performs better than an athlon 64 (obviously, it has similar architecture to the new conroe and the old pentium 3) and an athlon 64 at 2.0ghz would be about as good as a pentium 4 3.2ghz. not to mention core duo has more cache, so yea it'd probably be closer to a pentium 4 3.4ghz or 3.6ghz but as for multithreaded its going to perform better than P4 or Pentium D... and probably even most athlon 64 X2's, for the same reason athlon 64 X2's outperformed pentium D's... the chip is better and two of them will obviously be better than two of the slower chip. basically the Core Duo and whatever they end up calling codename conroe will be the best multithreading processors (as for the o/ced conroe, the fastest processor on the market, depending on how AMD counters conroe).
we shall see :)

You're right that the official docs don't say it is 64bit but as apj posted and as I quote below they are.:)
It seems that the Intel Core Duo processors that are all the rage these days may be a little more powerful than Intel would have you know. Thanks to a little detective work, it’s been discovered that the processors, deep down inside, are actually 64-bit compatible. Yes, that Core Duo you have right now is a 64-bit chip. Intel openly admits that its Sossaman chips are 64-bit, but does not mention this fact about its consumer-targetted Yonah chips, despite the fact that the two are one in the same. What consumer (or geek) would not want to play around with a 64-bit Linux distribution, or Windows 64-bit for that matter?
