processor "power"
Hi all,
Just trying to get to grips with the new intel processors, I.E. something like a core 2 duo L2 2mb/1.83GHz/667MHz, what would that equate to in old money relative to pentium 4 etc.
Trying to figure out what to go for in a new laptop to run 3D cad package (solidworks) got to be very light between 1 and 1.5 Kg 10-12 inch screen that of course can out put to a larger monitor when needed.
cheers ray t

Here you go. This article will give you a good idea as to how the new dual core compare with the older single core processors.

Software needs to be written to take advantage of a second core. Not sure if solidworks does this yet, but you can bet it will do in the future. Dual cores (and above) are here to stay. In fact quad cores are available to buy.
