Intel Core2 Duo T6570 vs AMD Turion 64 MK-36

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Core2 Duo T6570 and the AMD Turion 64 MK-36 and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Core2 Duo T6570 2 core processor released in Q2/2009 with the AMD Turion 64 MK-36 which has 1 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2006.

The Intel Core2 Duo T6570 is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz. The processor can compute 2 threads at the same time. The AMD Turion 64 MK-36 clocks with 2.00 GHz, has 1 CPU cores and can calculate 1 threads in parallel.

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to GB of memory in a maximum of 0 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core2 Duo T6570, while the AMD Turion 64 MK-36 supports a maximum of 8 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core2 Duo T6570 has a TDP of 35 W. The TDP of the AMD Turion 64 MK-36 is 31 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core2 Duo T6570 has 2.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 45 nm. The cache of AMD Turion 64 MK-36 is at 0.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 90 nm.
