Memron and Core Duo

[ulater6000]

What is the difference between the Intel Memron (not released yet) and the Intel Core Duo

 

[Timaphillips]

Memron will be for servers, most likely branded under the Xenon name.

No

Memron = laptop

Conroe = Desktops

Woodcrest = Server

Clovertown = High Power Server


The Memron and Conroe are now officially known as the Core 2 Duo.

merom and xeon. i thought merom was to be the single core version of conroe but i'm inclined to believe tyler as he keeps up with the info more than i

Merom ( not memron) = Laptop
Conroe = desktops

both under the name Core 2 Duo, or Core Duo 2. and soon the Core 2/ Duo 2 Extreme.

Memron

FFS man, its Merom, not Memron. There's like 20 people that I've seen making this mistake.

To Ulater's original question, the Merom is the Conroe for Laptops. The Core Duo processors (Yonah) are great and stuff, and match AMD's clock-for-clock performance, but they lack 64-bit support. The Core 2 Duo (Merom) processors, aside from other advantages, increase the clock-for-clock performance to Conroe's (which is much higher than AMD's) and adds 64-bit support. The Merom processors are drop-in compatible with Yonah, so if you bought a Core Solo/Duo laptop, you can disassemble it and just plop in a Core 2 Duo Merom.
