I'm just trying to compare some laptop processors but am just getting a bit confused over the different ones. First, one make describes the processor as 'Intel Core 2 Duo', where as one calls it the 'Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor'. now I haven't looked at CPU's in ages so are these the same but just denoted differently?

Secondly, I am then trying to compare a T2080 vs T5450, now logic would have it that the T5450 would be better? But the 1st has a higher clock speed but lower FSB so which is better? Or as linked to be called differenly above are they from two different ranges?
 
So to put it short, despite the T2080 having a slightly higher clock speed they are not as good as the T5450 in terms of cache and being 64 bit?
 
Cheers for that. I got confused with the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo, I was assuming that they were the same thing but just put in a different way by the generic computer shops that know nothing!
