Hi everybody, this is my first post in this forum.
I would like to know what exactly "Duo" means.
I would like to buy a new MacBook Pro from apple which features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2.66 GHz.
Does that mean that the processors runs at double speed getting a 5.32 GHz processor?
Thanks for your answers

Hi there,
Firsly it does not mean the processor will run at double speed. It's just that there are two logical cores inside the single processor.
The Intel dual-core (Dual cores and Core 2 Duos) processor consists of two complete execution cores in one physical processor. Imagine that a dual-core processor is like a four-lane highway—it can handle up to twice as many cars as a two-lane road without making each car drive twice as fast.
Similarly, with an Intel dual-core processor, you can do more at once than ever before, without slowing down.
This little video mught help you to get a quick ideo of multi core processing in intel processors: http://www.intel.com/technology/product/demos/multi/demo.htm?iid=tech_dc+demo_how-mtc-works
If you want more information you can also read more on this link: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/index.htm?iid=tech_multi-core+body_core2duo
Core 2 Duo processors are more powerful, energy efficient and provide better performance than single core processors.
Hope these links will be helpful to you.
More information about Intel® processors can be found by searching the processor product database (http://ark.intel.com/ http://ark.intel.com/). If you are unable to locate (search or browse) either the Intel® processor that you are looking for, please send your feedback. (mailto:ark_support@intel.com ARK_Support@intel.com)
