Simple Difference is the Architecture.Also Pentium D can process a total of 4 threads at a time with the help of HT technology whereas Core2Duo can process 8 threads at a time(4 threads by single core).

Simply take it. Any Core 2 Duo will beat Pentium D :) If you want to know Techie information, you can Google as there are hundreds of threads or you can read from Digit as there was a article regarding this in Digit last July or August or later...i dont remember :lol:
