Processor

efciency and speed relative to the previous generation,

and increasing cache size by up to 50 percent. These new

Intel Core 2 Duo processors deliver more performance

without using more energy.

Built on the innovative Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the

Intel Core 2 Duo desktop processor delivers revolutionary

dual-core performance and breakthrough processor energy

efciency. With Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution, Intel® Smart

Memory Access, Intel® Advanced Smart Cache, and Intel®

Digital Media Boost, this new processor is designed to do

more in less time. Additional features, which support

enhanced security, virtualization, and 64-bit computing, make

the Intel Core 2 Duo the most impressive processor developed

for an increasingly multimedia-centered, high-denition world.

Energy Efciency

Design changes in the Intel Core 2 Duo processors that

improve performance also increase processor energy

efciency by operating at lower frequencies that require

less power to run. Intel® Intelligent Power Capability, a feature

that optimizes energy usage of the processor cores, turns on

computing functions only when needed. These more energy-

efcient processors support smaller, more capable, and

quieter desktop PCs to conserve critical power resources.

Product Description

The Intel® Core™2 Duo processor was developed to meet the

insatiable demand for increased performance from PC users

running multiple, intense software applications simultaneously.

In the ofce, PC usage has changed from data entry and word

processing to e-Commerce, online collaboration, and an ever-

increasing need for continual security and virus protection. In

the home, interests have shifted from low-bandwidth photos

and Internet surng to downloading and viewing high deni-

tion videos, as well as advanced photo and video editing.

Intel’s new 45nm manufacturing technology, with hafnium-

infused Hi-k transistors, enables even more processor

performance by doubling the transistor density, improving
