Intel® Core™2 Quad Processors

The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor is the latest in cuttingedge

processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on

the new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad

processor delivers four complete execution cores within a

single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and

responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business

and home environments.





The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core 2 Quad

processor is made possible by each of the four complete

execution cores delivering the full power of Intel Core

microarchitecture. More instructions can be carried out

per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands

more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout

the system faster. This quad-core processor represents Intel’s

continued leadership and drive of multi-core processing and

more parallel computing.

The latest versions, built on Intel’s 45nm manufacturing

technology, take these benefits to a whole new level. This

new technology uses hafnium-infused Hi-k transistors,

enabling even more processor performance by doubling the

transistor density, improving efficiency and speed relative to

the previous generation, and increasing cache size by up to

50 percent. These new Intel Core 2 Quad processors deliver

even more performance without using more energy (continue reading &aquo;)
