Core 2 Duo vs. Core Duo

Hi. What is the difference between Core 2 Duo vs. Core Duo? Is one better than the other? Does one lend itself better to a HTPC application?

Core Duo is very old technology. The 1st MacBook's (in 2006) were Core Duo.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core
Unlike the Intel Core, Intel Core 2 is a 64-bit processor, supporting Intel 64. Another difference
between the original Core Duo and the new Core 2 Duo is an increase in the amount of Level 2 cache.
The new Core 2 Duo has tripled the amount of on-board cache to 6 MB.

Java Development issue/differences between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo (??)

Hi Everyone,
I am a Java developer that uses my 17" MBP Core Duo for all of my development. Lately, I've been trying to use both the Glassfish Application Server V2 (from Sun) and Maven 2.09 from the Apache project. I have configured identical scenarios on my MBP Core Duo and on a 15" MBP Core 2 Duo.
The scenario involves compiling and running some webservices (at least on the Core 2 Duo) in a local development environment. Both machines use the default JDK 1.5.0_13 installed on the machine.
On the 17" Core Duo, issuing a "mvn install" command produces the following error:

I have installed the same software versions and have the same configuration on a Windows desktop running XP SP2 and get the same successful result.
Is this an issue between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo? I can't see that it is since I don't believe the hardware influences the software to that degree. However, I am at a loss for what is causing the issue and the Apache Maven list insists that there are developers that are using Maven successfully on OS X.
I really need to get past this issue, but I am at a loss. Please help.
Thanks,
John

Have you repaired permissions? (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app)
Are you sure you're using JDK 5? (Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences.app or output of $ javac -version)

Please verify core duo vs. core 2 duo speed comparison

Hi,
I was looking for RAM to upgrade my MacBook CoreDuo 512mb to 2gb, and found this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Reviews/MacBook/Testing/Memory_Benchmarks
If you go down, there is performance comparisons b/t core duo and core 2 duo, and between different size of rams. I am looking at photoshop result. Notice C2D 1gb is FASTER than CD 2gb.
Since I will be using Photo Editing Apps. to process RAW files, speed is my primary concern. Could you please verify this data? If this is true, I am going to consider selling my current MB and getting a new one with C2D.
Thanks!

Performance comparisons vary from tests to tests. And even if you test the same machine 10 times, you will get 10 different results. But from looking at the data, it seems though that the differences are very minute.
Selling your CD MB to get a C2D MB would not be a smart investment for that small improvement in performance, but the decision is up to you. If you decide to upgrade since speed is your primary concern, why not opt for Macbook Pro?

2006 Macbook Pro 17 inch duo 2 core backlight keyboard not working

I have a Macbook Pro 17 inch model MA611 L/A 2.33 duo 2 core. I recently had to change the hard drive and when I put everything back, the backlit keyboard is not coming on. I have reseted the SMC, downloaded labtick, and can see F9 and F10 light up and down setting on the keyboard.
It's not coming on. I double check to make sure that the keyboard ribbon is on securely. The keyboard is working as I am typing this post on it.
Nothing seems to be a problem other than the backlit keyboard not coming on. Is it possible that the LED light is broken even though everything on the keyboard works normally?
Am I missing something? Anyone have experience like this?
Any help or clues would be appreciated. It is really bothering me and is annoying not having this feature at night.

Intel Core 2 Duo or Core Duo???

Greetings! I have a 17" MacBook Pro that I purchased last August 2006. How can I tell if it has the Intel Core 2 Duo or Core Duo processor?? Apparently, there is a difference in the maximum memory that can be installed: 3 GB for the Core 2 Duo and only 2 GB for the Core Duo. Any know how to determine the processor type?
Thanks & God Bless!

i was only half serious about the rumour sites thing.. actually you're the perfect example of someone that has the right attitude to making a computer purchase. you understand that all manufacturers including apple aren't about to start yelling from the rooftops that a machine will be replaced with a faster one coming up in a couple of weeks. it just makes no sense to freeze the sales of the current machine prematurely, and people know they can always pick up remaining stock of the outgoing model at a reduced price after the new one is announced. you've also stated that while the new machines seem a little faster (well duh what's new under the sun?), you're happy with the performance of the one you have, and it does what you need it to do.
I think it's only ever a good idea to keep the most casual eye on the rumour sites, just to get an inkling of any possible new developments. but it's pretty much a dumb idea to base your shopping on what they say. in my case, I waited for the core 2 duo machine because I happened to be looking to buy one literally just when is started making the tech news that the core 2 duo chips for laptops were making their way into machines, and some PC laptops were already shipping with them. it seemed the sensible thing to do to wait a couple of weeks before placing my order, and I was in a position where I could wait anyway. i also knew that I'd be waiting at least a couple of weeks if not more for any machine I ordered to be shipped because I was always going to order a custom configuration anyway. so in my case it paid off.
but I read a lot of people putting off buying a machine for frankly silly reasons, fed by the rumour sites. a lot of audio pro logic users (like myself) are fixated on the idea of waiting for the next generation intel portable chips because of a combination of some kind of power **** fed by the rumour sites. and also a lot of them are also PC users, and so they are terrified that whatever they buy now might be a bad choice because leopard is around the corner and it might change the ballgame, causing problems with machines bought earlier.. it can all be quite misleading and make you wait without a machine for no good reason. and then when you look at the intel info on what the next series of C2D chips will be, it's only a speed bump to 2.4Ghz above the 2.33 that it currently tops out at. I'm sure there are other enhancements too, but it's hardly earth-shattering. and then on top of that, there's just no way that leopard is going to have any issues at all, esp compared to vista, with recent machines, and probably not even much older ones too. in fact, sometimes it's a bad idea to buy a machine that comes pre-installed with the latest OSX because it has been the case in the past that the firmware on these machines doesn't allow them to retrograde to work with a previous OS version. this can be a big issue for some users! for example if you are an audio pro, and you use digidesign hardware, they are notorious for taking a long time to release drivers for new OS versions, and not only that, their previous drivers often just won't work at all with newer OS's until they release their newest driver, unlike other manufacturers whose drivers often survive the transition without requiring an update just to stay functional. so in cases like this, listening to the rumours too much and holding off on buying can actually be totally the wrong thing to do.
anyway, I've just had a little rant haven't I? glad you're happy with your machine, and for anyone else reading, I hope I've given a little perspective on the matter.

Need advice Imac G5 Intel Duo 2 Core 2ghz will not power up DEAD

Hi all. Hoping for some friendly advice. I have an Imac G" Intel Duo 2 Core about a year old or so. My adult son was using it. Never a single issue and a very mild user. He reformatted it the other night and turned it over to me because he got a new one. I'm thrilled since I'm still using my G4 733 I've been faithfully keeping in operation since April 2001 with almost no issues. The only thing I have done is allow it to auto update everything the night before last. It's set to sleep the screen after an hour and the whole thing about 2 hours. Been working fine and just touch the keyboard and back to life.
Well this afternoon went back to take some more tutorials and it's just dead. As if it had gone to sleep but no amount of button pressing helped. Unplugged everything on USB, firewire. Using apple bluetooth KB and mouse that came with it. Both had new batteries as of other night. Left power cable loose for 10-15 minutes and no help. Held the single power button for long periods, tried holding it while plugging in to wall, tried other wall outlets. Wiggled chord to see if flakey... read articles on resetting some macs but nothing helped so far.
Thanks
LB

Well update I did finally get it to come on after a couple hours of coming back and fiddling. In efforts to fix it I looked up the number on the stand and it looks to be made mid 2007 which means likely no warranty.
I popped out the memory under the little bottom edge cover and dusted off some of the woolies. Didn't help but I blew into the round fan vent on the rear and a good bit of dust even came out the top edge vent. Looks like my son gathered some dust in this thing.
Still thought it would not come on but pressed again and suddenly it's ON and working but the cooling fan seems to be stuck on fast mode. I can't see any way this thing is having heat problems in my office which is a little warm but not hot.
So likely will take into service to clean and dust it out etc and maybe this fan will begin running right. This iMac has never given one ounce of trouble either. I'm posting this using the iMac
Any additional advice appreciated,

Going From G4s to Duo 2 Core Questions

I'm going from 2 G4's to Duo 2 Cores (shipment to arrive early next week). Three questions to those who have already done it, to avoid problems:
1) I will import my data from the G4s to the new Macs via Target Disk Mode (no Migration to avoid bringing something over that might muck up the works).
Which computer should I boot into Target Disk Mode - the source (G4) or destination (Duo 2 Core)?
Should I boot into Target Disk Mode and then firewire connect, or firewire connect and then boot into TDM?
2) I currently use Office X (Word and Entourage) as my data staple; am upgrading with the purchase of the Duo 2 Cores to Office 2004.
How do I get my Office X Word and Entourage preferences (Normal Template; Address Book, etc) into Office 2004 once 2004 is loaded? Should I install the 2004 appliication onto the Duo 2 Cores, then copy over my Microsoft User Date from Office X (from the G4's to the new computers), then launch Office 2004 on the new computers and somehow import my prefernces; if so, how? If not, what's the best procedure?
3) I use Firefox as my main browser. I do a lot of public records research. Most public records are in PDF format. I currently use the PDF Browser Plug-in (private edition) for viewing. Is that a safe option for Intel Macs? If not, any alternatives suggested?
Lots of questions, but thanks in advance for any input and assistance!
Any other suggestions on a smooth transition will also be most appreciated!
Again - Thanks and Cheers!
iMac Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.4.8)
iMac CDRW

1) I connected my new MacBook to my turned of PowerBook while the MacBook was on. Then I turned on the PowerBook booting into FireWire Target Disk Mode. BTW, I copied Library folder from my PowerBook onto the MacBook's desktop. The rest I just copied directly into my new MacBook personal directory. IOW I opened up both Document folders and copied from PowerBook to MacBook. I was more careful about what I copied from the old Library folder and I did just a little at a time so if trouble developed I could remember what I'd just copied in and remove it. This minimized the number of programs I had to reserialize and configure.
2) This is a good question - I bought MacOffice and used it with the PowerBook. I don't remember the process of moving in - whether it was done automatically or whether I was prompted for where to import files from. I just remember it being pretty painless. Perhaps the safest method would be to install Office on the old G4 first and get it all sorted out there first.
3) There's an Intel updated version of the plug-in available - I'm using it.

Restore Core Duo to Core 2 Duo?

Can I clone the drive on a Core Duo machine, and, then restore onto a Core 2 DUo and expect all to be fine?
Can I do the opposite, Core @ Duo to Core Duo?
I need to swap 2 machine, one a Core 2 Duo, and, one a Core Duo. MUST I install the OS and load all the software again, or, can I just move the drives around in essence by cloning?

The key to safely and reliably booting a computer from the installation of another computer is how closely the two match. It wouldn't be a good idea to clone a MacBook's drive and use it to book a MacPro. But the difference between your two minis is almost negligible. Go ahead - if over the course of a week or two you find the computer is unstable, you can always perform an archive and install.
Of course since you are talking about cloning, you could also just use the Migration Assistant to move your programs and data to the newer computer.

only buy purchasing a mac that has a core 2 duo, you can not make that upgrade on your current mac.

Core 2 Duo VS Core i5

Hi,
regarding to the spec Core 2 Duo VS Core i5 from a MBP, do it really a Huge Differences while using the Logic Pro 9?

hi spheric. 32nm will run faster because the distance is less. 4 real cores [iMacs i7] should perform better than 2 real core [laptops chips]
Thanks for the clarification - I was obviously misunderstanding you.
Yes, the desktop chips are faster due to being quad-core - but getting a quad-core 32nm laptop chip should be faster still.
Unfortunately, there aren't any yet, AFAIK.
..and there are unlikely to ever be, not in this series of CPU in any case. The problem is heat dissipation and power consumption, neither of which are anywhere near a match for what Apple is aiming at with its notebooks. However, AFAIK, you can already buy notebooks from other vendors (can't remember where I read this, CNET?) which do use the physical quad version of the core series CPU that Apple only use in the iMacs. So, you can get a 'real' quad core notebook of some kind, however it won't have anywhere near the battery life of the MBPs (who cares?), and will be in a much less slim case with probably a lot more fan noise, to deal with the heat. Also, it will only, ahem, officially run Windows or Linux or whatever. Officially.
But don't rule out HT! I know I am a bleedin broken record on this topic, but when it's used on the mobile i5/i7, it really does just present itself to the software like it's a real quad core and it really does make a difference. Not on the same order as having totally discreet cores, but it does simply work as if it was and the difference is palpable. The ProTools tests I did in that other discussion really shows it in action. When PT sends work to 4 cores (on the desktop version of the i7), it can run a good whack more plug ins than when it just has 2 cores available to it. It's a pity that Logic seems to be currently ignoring it, but on the measure I demonstrated with PT, it looks like an 'almost' quad mobile CPU is actually a pretty decent tradeoff for a notebook system for the time being, at least for every other app except Logic..
I'm sure future generations of Intel hardware will probably eventually get more discreet physical cores into a mobile CPU that Apple will be happy to use. In fact I found some articles via a google search that suggested the generation of CPUs coming sometime in 2011/2012 will be able to get power consumption and heat down to do just that. But for now, HT is a very reasonable substitute. The other day I was able to easily get about 35 more reverb plug ins to run live on the mobile i7 than I could on my Core 2 Duo and I saw HT working right before my eyes, distributing the work across 4 cores in Activity Monitor. So it's clear that HT can make a significant difference if it's used, even if it will always be a bit less than having a real quad core.
I'd say the next generation of Apple notebooks will be when the number of physical cores gets upped. For now, they won't just shoe-horn a desktop CPU into their sleek notebooks and throw out all of the battery life and slim design principles. But other manufacturers have chosen right now to do this in notebooks, even given the extra heat and power consumption, so there are alternatives out there.. I think Dell and Alienware do notebooks using a desktop i7 (ie, with 4 full cores), but from what I saw I think they chose a lower clocked one so the things don't last 5 minutes on battery and melt down after one hour of use.

New iMac w. Intel Duo 2 Core - Apple Applications keep crashing

Any ideas what gives? I'm new to iMac and so far the experience has not been good ... the Apple applications (i* apps, safari, mail, dashboard, finder, even system preferences!) keep crashing hard with kernel exceptions.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Usually when it's the Apple apps that are crashing,
it's often a font conflict. Printers, scanners and apps load on fonts
that may cause problems with the original font setup.
A quick way to check that is to:
Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates.
A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family.
You can resolve duplicates by selecting the each bulleted font
(one at a time) and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
If you try the above, and still have problems,
I highly recommend that you post this over in the Intel Based iMac Forum
here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110
This is assuming that after you loaded on major programs & updates,
that you repaired permissions. Section A from Trav's Tips below:

Adobe Media Encoder only using single core of CPU (core parking has already been disabled and did not solve the problem)

I only edit videos every few months and the last time I edited a video was around 6-9 months ago. At that time, I noticed AME was only using a single core of the CPU and contacted Adobe who instructed me to disable core parking, which worked. After disabling core parking AME used 100% of all 12 logical cores to process the video and all was good. Then last week, I decided to edit another video and noticed AME was very slow and checked and it was again only using a single core to process the video, but core parking is still turned off. By slow I mean that a 10 minute video with the lens distortion correction preset and one video transition effect is estimated to take nearly 3 hours to complete. For comparison, the GoPro software processed the same clip with the same effects in 20 minutes. Also, through troubleshooting with Adobe over the last few days, I have also tried downloading previous versions of the software but the prior versions have the same issue.
The video I'm trying to edit was shot on a GoPro Hero 4 Black with 1080p Wide at 60 frames per second. The default video format for GoPro is .mp4. The output settings I'm using when I export from Premiere Pro to AME are H.264 with the YouTube 1080p HD.
My system:
ASUSSabertooth X79
Intel core i7 4930k (6 physical cores, 12 logical cores)
16GB DDR3 Quad channel RAM
Samsung 830 SSD 128GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 (not CUDA compatible, I know)
Please ask if you need any additional information to help solve this problem.

This has been driving me CRAZY... so going over the message boards from 2 to 5 am this morning I found the best explanation I have seen. The problem is that Adobe Creative Cloud is NOT "Processor Group Aware". Windows parses any more than 36 cores into "Processor Groups" and while the Pro version of Windows 7 & 8 can handle 256 threads they have to spread them across multiple processor groups.
Simple Version: AREA | How many cores does 3ds Max support?
Microsoft's Explanation: Processor Groups (Windows)
Clearly, this is an Adobe Problem... If any engineers are reading this PLEASE review the below and incorporate it into your next build of Creative Cloud!!!
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653313%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Again, I bought a VERY expensive machine based on your white paper that recommended Dual Xeon Workstations. Please, Please Give us the product you PROMISED!!!

Dual core or Quad Core

I know elements will run on a "Dual core or Quad Core" system, but will it use the "Dual core or Quad Core" feature

Yes, the Editor will make good use of multiple processors, while the Organizer appears to make somewhat less use of multiple processors. PSE 7 has a severe bug with respect to raw files, but that's fixed in PSE 7.

Macbook pro, dual core or quad core?

Hey guys Im getting an early college present and was wondering which Macbook I should look at. This will be my one and only computer while im in college. No photo editing or anything like that, maybe some video editing but it will be almost none. Will be used to surf the web and write documents. My question is should i get the dual core or quad core processor? Will it really matter for what i want it for? One thing I absolutely hate is lag! So the faster of the two the better.

So if I went with the quadcore because you guys say it is faster than the 2.9 ghz dualcore. Would the difference be noticable between the 2.6 ghz and the 2.3 ghz? I noticed the 2.6 has 8 gb to the 4gb and 750gb to the 500 gb.
Well, actually, only one guy said the quad core would be faster, but it is not clear why they said that. You said you were only going to use it "to surf the web and write documents." Well, guess what. You don't need a quad-core for that. You don't need a dual-core for that. I've surfed the web and written documents on my old single-core iPhone. Those tasks are just not that demanding.
So unless there are more things you want to do that you haven't mentioned, there is just about no way it's worth paying for quad-core or a 2.6GHz processor if all you are going to do is surf the web and write documents.
The quad-core is going to speed up operations that specifically benefit from parallel processing, like intensive editing of photo/audio/video, or bulk encoding of audio and video, or specific math apps, stuff like that. And most Mac users would not benefit from choosing the 2.6GHz over the 2.3GHz because the performance of so many common uses depends not only on the CPU speed, but actually on the overall balance of CPU, RAM, and disc. In other words, if you really have a legitimate application for 2.6GHz it usually means you must also install a great deal more RAM and also an SSD to avoid creating a bottleneck that holds back the CPU. But then you would have a machine that is massively overpowered and overpriced for surfing the web and writing documents.
You could surf the web and write documents quite effectively on the least expensive MacBook that Apple sells. But since you do want to keep it throughout all of college, it is a good idea to buy something higher than the bottom of the line. For a Mac for very basic uses that should last four years, I would suggest:
13-inch MacBook Air with 256GB SSD storage and 8GB RAM
13-inch MacBook Pro with 500GB HD storage and 8GB RAM
13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display with 256GB SSD storage and 8GB RAM
(You didn't mention what your budget is)
I suggested 13-inch because it's more portable than the 15-inch but more comfortable for 4 years than an 11-inch. I chose storage sizes that would be appropriate since you said you would do some video. And I chose 8GB RAM because 4GB may not be enough for 4 years, and also because insufficient RAM is often a bigger cause of lag than CPU or disk speed.
If you have a limited amount of money, from this point on you'll need to justify why you would want a bigger screen, a faster CPU, or more cores given the two tasks you said you'd be doing most of the time. Because again, if you didn't actually need a Mac, you could write documents and surf the web on an iPad with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover and be done for $600.

Only one core working in Core Duo X60

I bought a 2nd-hand Lenovo/IBM x60 Thinkpad about a year ago on Craigslist. Perfect condition, nice price, all legit-looking, and I'm using it now -- except that the guy had replaced the legit XP Pro with a bootleg installation of Windows7, without saving any backups or making rescue disks or anything. It worked fine and updated and everything, but I didn't want to run bootleg Windows, so I was determined to reconstruct the legit XP Pro SOMEhow. I had various Windows disks (incl. a non-legit install CD some vendor stuffed into my shopping bag) and a full set of recovery disks from my T40 Thinkpad.
It wasn't easy or quick, and didn't go smoothly, and I don't think I saved detailed notes on all the steps I took, but I finally got it running smoothly. XP Pro, SP3, with the same ID# as on the sticker, and enough updated drivers to run properly. I've been using it pretty happily for the past year, except that the speed has been disappointing. Recently, it's finally dawned on me that I'm only using one CPU core in the 2-core "Core Duo" CPU. That's presumably because the T40 only has a single-core CPU, and I used its XP setup (with some updated drivers, etc.).
Device Manager says my Computer is an "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", not an "ACPI Multiprocessor PC".
Other than converting to Linux or buying a copy of XP Pro. . . is there a way I can educate this computer to use both of its CPU cores??
[Here's more details, and what I THINK I know about the problem:]
I think the problem is in the HAL = Hardware Abstraction Layer, and I've already tried using XPud Linux to substitute-rename the multi-core halmacpi.dll file from the SPFiles\i386 folder, making it the Hal.dll file in the System32 folder (which was formerly identical to the 1-core halacpi.dll in that folder -- no, not the halaacpi.dll file I expected to be identical). But the computer wouldn't boot Windows afterwards, so I substituted-renamed the Hal.dll file back -- successfully, without having to restore from an image. I'm guessing that there's another file or two that refer to that Hal.dll file that don't match up, but I can't find any advice online other than to re-install Windows. Since I still don't have the "real" Windows install CD for this Core Duo computer, I don't think that's a good option.
I feel a bit victimized here, because I'm going to a bunch of extra trouble to be legit, but I'm not being treated (by MS or Lenovo/IBM) as a valued customer. (I must have gotten at least 5 or 6 "You're a pirate!" error messages while I was trying to restore the computer to its original legitimate OS!)
Lenovo/IBM will sell me a new Rescue disk for $50 -- I bought one for an earlier Thinkpad, my T22, IIRC -- but I'm not confident that I'd get joy from that, either. (As I recall, the old one I bought didn't do everything I'd hoped it would do.) Plus, I'd rather not have to reconstruct and reconfigure all my software unless I have to.
BTW, I've wiped out the traditional IBM Rescue partition I had originally set up and merged it with C:. (I wanted the GBs.) I do still have an image backup of it, and I could restore it (and try using it), but there's no reason to believe that it would help, since it presumably came from my 1-core T40, not from a Core Duo machine.
Any suggestions?

Have you updated the BIOS to the latest version and checked the CPU Core setting in the BIOS?
