How to select a Processor ?

I had many questions before buying laptop
which Processor shall i choose
Difference between dual core and core 2 duo ?
Why not try AMD ??
Whats in turion and what is Athlon???

Lets try to find out answer of all these
Things to look in Processor
architecture, cache, front side bus, clock speed and power
1)Architecture

Basic design of a microprocessor. May include process technology and/or other architectural enhancements.

2)Cache (MB/KB)

A temporary storage area for frequently accessed or recently accessed data. Having certain data stored in a cache speeds up the operation of the computer. Cache size is measured in megabytes (MB) or kilobytes (KB).

3)Front Side Bus

The connecting path between the processor and other key components such as the memory controller hub. FSB speed is measured in GHz or MHz.

4)Clock Speed

Speed of the processor's internal clock, which dictates how fast the processor can process data. Clock speed is usually measured in GHz (gigahertz, or billions of pulses per second).
