Hi,
I like to know whether Dualcore Intel 820 or Intel 945 Over Heats ? Is it 32 or 64bit processor ? kindly post known disadvantages…
Both are sad chips and yes both have thermal issues. Why don’t you get a core 2 duo E6300 instead?
Yep both produce quite a lot of heat as well as consume loads of power. TDP is as high as 130W for these chips - present C2D chips in comparison use half the TDP at 65W. Both are 64-bit capable procs (Intel’s EM64T).
The Intel D820 (Smithfield) can be thought of as 2 Prescott chips slapped together on the same die - which means almost double the heat/power consumption as a single core Prescott.
The Intel D9xx series (Presler) were a slight improvement in that they migrated to a 65nm process from the 90nm process used on Prescotts/Smithfields, so heat and power consumption reduced but only to a slight extent.
Known disadvantages hmm.. now thats a tricky question :lol:
To start off with performance is pretty shabby in comparison to C2D’s or even A64 X2’s.
Top it off with pretty high heat output/power consumption.
The only worthwhile aspect is that these give you dual-core performance for quite cheap. Plus the D9xx parts also support Virtualization.
Well . for those prices u’ll easily get a E6300 … and PentiumD’s are just for fools ..
^ Not really. A Pentium D 820 hovers around the 4.5k price mark, which is almost half the price of a C2D.
He did mention PentiumD 945 .. hmm .. so i could assume he had that kind of a budget i suppose .. 
..
Hmmm, Thanks a lot guyssss for the info… 
i will go for Intel E6300 or AMD X2 - 3600, which 1 is the best ?
E6300… it owns the entire X2 line up …and beats the shit out of an FX60 as well when overclocked.
Intel C2D proccies are the current champions
