Optimized for Intel® multi-core
technology, Ice Storm Fighters*
provides explosive realism and
stunning advanced game physics
for an extreme gaming experience.
COMPONENT/FEATURE FUNCTIONALITY BENEFIT
45nm hafnium-based
Intel® quad-core processor
Next-gen Intel® 45nm high-k (Hi-k) metal gate silicon technology is
roughly twice the density of Intel® 65nm technology, packing more
transistors into a single chip.
Four cores provide mega performance for highly
threaded games and applications with over 60
percent better performance on 3DMark* Vantage
CPU test.
7
Power-Optimized 1066 MHz Front
Side Bus (FSB)
Increased process system bus speed. Improved FSB provides increased data bus
bandwidth vs. prior generations for incredible
gaming performance.
Larger Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
12 MB of shared L2 cache minimizes bus trafc by allowing all four
cores access to the L2 memory and shared data to be accessed from
the cache.
Larger, smarter, and more efcient cache design
can handle complex physics and AI for “like you’re
there” realism in games.
Dual Intel® Dynamic Acceleration
Uses headroom of idle cores by dynamically boosting frequency of
active cores while maintaining the thermal envelope.
This feature enables power reductions while
increasing frequency by 266 MHz.
Support for Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility
(Intel® XTU) and Intel® Extreme Memory
Proles (Intel® XMP)
4
Intel XTU is an overclocking application for manual performance tuning,
stress testing, and system monitoring. Intel XMP allows you to manually
alter frequency, latency, and voltage parameters.
Intel XTU and Intel XMP simplify processor and
memory overclocking to optimize performance for
extreme gaming.
