Updated: CD Ripping Test : PentiumM/Core Duo/Core 2 Duo Monday, September 18th, 2006
I heard the Core Duo/Core 2 Duo had some new instructions to speed up multimedia, so I did a quick test.
The Test: Ripping a 54min Audio CD to iTunes @ 192k Mp3
For comparison I tested the Dell Latitude X300 which had a 24 speed CD Drive against two Dell XPS M1210’s with DVD+RW drives, which for these tests were treated as a 24 speed CD Drive.
Dell Latitude X300 PentiumM 1.2Ghz took 8m4s
Dell XPS M1210 Core Duo 2.0GHZ took 3m54s
Dell XPS M1210 Core 2 Duo2 2.0GHZ took 3m42s
So the difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo is very small.
