Can a core 2 duo run Windows 10?Ĭore 2 Duo E8600 Processor can run Windows 10 smoothly. Each core is based on the Pentium M micro architecture. The Core 2 Duo, which was introduced on July 27 2006, is the direct successor of the Core Duo. This means two processor cores work inside a Core 2 Duo in parallel. The Intel Core 2 Duo (also known as Core2 Duo) processor is a 64 bit dual core processor. Dual core is a processor working by batch processing through two sub cores built within a processor, whereas Intel I3 works on four sub cores. Dual core is second generation processor and i3 is third generation processor it provide more speed & process than dual core. What is the difference between Intel core and dual core? It can give a decent performance for normal use on this Intel core microarchitecture. Its socket type is LGA 775 and has 3 MB L2 cache. The clock speed of the e8400 is 2.93 GHz, it has 2 cores and 2 threads with 45nm technology.

The difference between dual-core and core 2 duo processors is that dual-core processors contain two cores and the core 2 duo processor is the second version of a dual-core processor.


In Core 2 Duo processor we have 6 MB of L2 cache memory. In Dual core processor we have 3 MB of L2 cache memory. Core 2 duo has better performance than Dual core as it has better overclock ability than Dual core.
