[linux-audio-user] Intel Dual Core vs. AMD64

[Arthur Moore]

I'm looking at getting a new laptop for audio production (current
system is pentium IIIM 1.3Ghz, 512 M memory, 5200 RPM hard drive,
Presonus Firepod running with FreeBob , not really cutting it). I'm
wondering what people's opinions about the Intel dual core vs. an
AMD64 bit processor, both with 2GB of memory, and a 100GB 7200 RPM
hard drive. From my limited understanding the dual core is like a dual
processor (maybe?) running in parallel. It seems to me that the dual
core would be better than the AMD64 for audio production.
