Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor

The first Intel Core 2 Duo branded processor cores, code-named Conroe (Intel product code 80557), were launched on July 27, 2006. These processors were fabricated on 300 mm wafers using a 65 nm manufacturing process, and intended for desktop computers, as a replacement for the Pentium 4 and Pentium D branded CPUs. Intel released four additional Core 2 Duo Processors on July 22, 2007. The new processors are named Core 2 Duo E6540, E6550, E6750, and E6850. Processors with a number ending in "50" have a 1333 MT/s FSB. The processors all have 4 MB of L2 cache.

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor gives faster performance, maximum energy efficiency, and more responsive multitasking. Desktop PCs with Intel® Core™2 processor can help more productivity. Desktop PCs with Intel® Core™2 processor family do more in less time period than ever before reducing energy costs by an average of 50 percent.
The Core 2 brand was introduced on July 27, 2006 comprising the Solo (single-core), Duo , Quad (Quad- core) ), and in 2007, the Extreme (dual- or quad-core CPUs for enthusiasts) version. Intel Core 2 processors with VPRO technology (designed for businesses) include the dual-core and quad-core branches.
Features:

*One of the main feature is can get an arsenal of performance-rich technologies, including up to 6MB of shared L2 cache and up to 1333 MHz Front Side Bus.

* Get smarter, more energy-efficient performance enabled by Intel® Intelligent Power Capability.
* Improve execution time and energy efficiency with more instructions per clock cycle enabled by Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution.
*Accelerate a broad range of applications, , including video, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications, enabled by Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost.
* Get higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem enabled by Intel® Advanced Smart Cache, optimized for multi-core and dual-core processors.

Enjoy 3X faster multitasking performance with multi-core processing combines two independent processor cores in one physical package.¹ Processors run at the same frequency and share up to 6MB of L2 cache and up to 1333 MHZ Front Side Bus for truly parallel computing with over.
