OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
With the Wolfdale core, Intel pours more power into a Core 2 Duo package. The 45nm process allowed Intel to reduce the power needed down to 65W. Lower power means lower CPU heat, which translates to lower system heat and longer system life. They also packed more features into the chip.

L2 cache has been bumped to 3MB and the Front Side Bus has been pushed to 1066MHz. You can now use both DDR2 and the hot new DDR3 memory for extreme performance. They also boosted memory access and execution speed with the Wide Dynamic Execution and Smart Memory Access. These combine to let the processor compute more instructions with more data per clock cycle. You'd better watch out; your enemies will be shooting back faster now.

The Advanced Digital Media Boost feature has been enhanced with the SSE4 instruction set and Intel HD Boost. This will give your entertainment experience a boost with better audio and video processing. It will also help with speech recognition, engineering and scientific applications. Perhaps most important of all will be the boost to security with increased encryption power and speed.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: > I use it on a web development desktop/server, and it rarely gets pegged
> Virtualization technology feature is very useful for running virtual machines
> Fan and heat sink are great for normal use
> Comes with Thermal tape already applied, so installation is quick
> Packaging is easy to open
Cons: > Installation instructions are only pictures. It was my first Socket 775 install and I wasn't sure how the plastic clamps snap in. I had to push pretty hard to get them to snap in.
Other Thoughts: After seeing the included heat sink with 80mm fan, I decided not to get a separate heat sink. I is fine for everyday use.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very solid CPU for the price. It will handle high clock speeds with the right equipment. Works great with the BIOSTAR TPower I45 LGA 775 Intel P45 Motherboard.
Cons: None so far
Other Thoughts: Do your own research and you'll find that this chip is a very good performance chip. Searching for "Chase Air-cooled E7600" will give you test results of this CPU's capabilities.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Product is as described. Came with nice heat sink and fan that maintains temp at 29 deg. Celsius without overclocking. Win7 score of 6.5. Overclocked at 105% and got a Win7 score of 6.6, but then it got a little hot, so I just told Scottie to take her back to 100%.
The heat sink installed on my ASUS P5QL/EPU very easily. I think the fan is quiet.
Cons: I didn't think the heat sink came with enough thermal paste- a few stripes. I probably should have bought some stuff.
Other Thoughts: If you want to overclock, you should consider 3rd party heatsink/fan, but I think it runs plenty fast without overclocking.

Highlights

newegg Specialized Dual-core Microarchitecture
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor includes dual execution cores in a single processor to enable execution of parallel threads or applications on separate cores, resulting in revolutionary dual-core performance, breakthrough processor energy efficiency and exceptional system response when running multi-threaded or multiple demanding applications simultaneously. The innovative 45nm dual-core technology optimizes thermal performance for reduced power consumption and noise.
newegg Intel Advanced Smart Cache
Intel Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
newegg Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Intel EM64T provides an enhancement to Intel 32-bit architecture by enabling the mobile processor platform to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel EM64T can enable use of extended virtual and physical memory.
newegg Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and average heat production. Combined with existing power saving features, EIST may provide an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving power when you don’t.
newegg Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
