16447Specialized Dual-core Microarchitecture//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/115/19-115-036/19-115-036_h1.jpgThe 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.1644716447Intel Advanced Smart Cache//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/115/19-115-036/19-115-036_h2.jpgIntel 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.1644716447Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/115/19-115-036/19-115-036_h3.jpgIntel EM64T provides an enhancement to Intel 32-bit architecture by enabling the desktop 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.1644716447Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/115/19-115-036/19-115-036_h4.jpgEIST 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.1644716447Execute Disable Bit (EDB)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/115/19-115-036/19-115-036_h5.jpgIntel'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.1644716447Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/115/19-115-036/19-115-036_h6.jpgWith Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple "virtual" platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members using the same platform simultaneously.16447http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2979Details and Specifications to ConsiderProcessors - Desktops343http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2980Today’s CPU ChoicesProcessors - Desktops343http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2981Features to ConsiderProcessors - Desktops343http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2982Which CPU Is Best for Me?Processors - Desktops343http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2983Frequently Asked QuestionsProcessors - Desktops343http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2984How-To GuideProcessors - Desktops343http://c1.neweggimages.com/BizIntell/category/343/fp/image01.jpgGuidester336CPU: A Buyer's Guide2985Techie StuffProcessors - Desktops343
