CPUs : Intel : Core 2 Duo E8400

Hardware Details Category: CPUs Manufacturer: Intel MSRP: $183 Buy it Specifications 3.0 GHz Dual Core 6MB L2 Cache LGA Socket 775 1333MHz Front Side Bus 45nm Manufacturing Process Voltage Range: 0.85V – 1.3625V The Intel Core 2 Duo processors are built in several of the world'smost advanced, high-volume output manufacturing facilities usingIntel's leading silicon process technology. The processor family isbased on the revolutionary Intel Core microarchitecture, designed toprovide powerful yet energy-efficient performance. With the power ofdual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numeroustasks faster. They also can operate more smoothly when multipleapplications are running, such as writing e-mails while downloadingmusic or videos and conducting a virus scan. The Intel Core 2 Duodesktop processor delivers revolutionary dual-core performance andbreakthrough processor energy efficiency. With Intel Wide DynamicExecution, Intel Smart Memory Access, Intel Advanced Smart Cache andIntel Digital Media Boost, this new processor is designed to do more inless time. Additional features to support enhanced security,virtualization, and 64-bit computing make the Intel Core 2 Duo the mostimpressive new processor developed for an increasinglymultimedia-centered, high-definition world. Design changes in the IntelCore 2 Duo processors that improve performance also increase processorenergy efficiency by operating at lower frequencies that require lesspower to run. Intel Intelligent Power Capability optimizes energy usageof the processor cores by turning on computing functions only whenneeded. This more energy-efficient processor supports smaller, morecapable, and quieter desktop PC to conserve critical power resources. Combining Intel's highly efficient 45nm manufacturing technology andIntel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor deliversrobust performance for both home and business software applications.With two complete computing "brains" on one physical processor, thisdual-core processor delivers more performance with greater energyefficiency than older single-core processors. For PC users, this meansdoing more simultaneously with less slowdown and hesitation.
