Is the AMD Turion Dual Core Rm-71 2.1 GHz faster than 2.2 GHz Intel P4?

I am interested in purchasing the WinTV-HVR950Q hybrid TV stick. However, I am not sure if my computer meets the system requirements.





My computer is a HP Pavilion DV5 with an AMD Turion 鈩?X2 Dual-Core Mobil RM-72 2.1 GHZ processor. My graphics card is the ATI Radeon HD 3200


My operating system is Windows Vista.





The system requirements listed for the WinTV-HVR-950Q are:


Minimum processor recommended:


2.2 GHz Intel庐 P4 or 1.8 GHz Centrino or equivalent


2.8 GHz Intel庐 P4 or Core鈩?Duo or equivalent for analog TV recording with MPEG-2





I do not know enough about computers or processors to know how to compare and AMD to and Intel chip.





Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.





Thanks,

Yes, your processor design is newer and has two real cores, the P4 only multi-threads on a single core. You'll be fine.Is the AMD Turion Dual Core Rm-71 2.1 GHz faster than 2.2 GHz Intel P4?
intel sucks, amd always the best for gaming and anything


i got amd athlon 64 x2 6400+ 3.20 ghz 4 gig of ram ati hd 3850 momo gigabyte s series MW2 never lags
AMD wins out runs intel only with the help of it's BUS architecture called Hyper Transport(HT).


Advantage of HT is that it has a separate up and down lanes going in and out of the processor for each memory channel, while intel's FSB architecture has one common channel shared by all.





This will be clearly seen when you play a game, video editing, etc where you will need a lot of memory reads and writes, while in intel's architecture processor waites for data AMD's HT will enable the smooth deliver of all the time...





AMD still lags behind in power consumption and heat...





but intel has already replied to this AMD's HT via it's ';quick path'; and ';DMI'; in it's latest ';core-i'; series processors...





i would recommend core i-7 of intel...





quick path of intel is much similar to amd's HT...
