Which is better between the Pentium 4 3.00Ghz and the Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz??

I know that Intel Core 2 Duo has 2 working processors, would this beat the 1 processor of 3Ghz?

These are for laptops.

Thank you.

2x 1.8 = 3.6.

So not only is the core 2 duo .6 faster it is dual core.

Even in single-threaded apps the core2 is faster due to it's more efficient architecture.

It's also much less power hungry than a P4 which promotes battery life when on the move.

Runs much cooler as well, not least because of the lower clock speed. Temps are always a concern in laptops.
