11542Specialized Dual-core Microarchitecture//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/111/19-111-001/19-111-001_h1.jpgThe Intel Core 2 Duo processor includes two execution cores in a single physical package to enable execution of parallel threads or applications on separate cores with dedicated CPU resources. The results enable outstanding dual-core performance and greater 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.1154211542Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/111/19-111-001/19-111-001_h2.jpgIntel Centrino Duo mobile technology has just gotten a mobility upgrade with the new Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor. Its advanced capabilities provide twice the multitasking performance with improved energy efficiency for enhanced battery life so you get the benefits of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility.1154211542Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/111/19-111-001/19-111-001_h3.jpgIntel 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.1154211542Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/111/19-111-001/19-111-001_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.1154211542Execute Disable Bit (EDB)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/111/19-111-001/19-111-001_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.1154211542Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)//images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/item/19/111/19-111-001/619-111-001_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.11542
