The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor

Overview
The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology. 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 multithreaded and multitasking business and home-use environments.The Intel Core 2 Quad processor features four complete execution cores. 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.The evolving set of threaded multimedia applications, including digital content creation, shines as users are able to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater visualization and realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering can be distributed across each of the four complete execution cores and run in parallel.For more legal information please go to www.intel.com/sites/corporate/tradmarx.htm
With four execution cores, the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded applications. Pioneer the new world of quad-core and unleash the true power of multithreading
Unleash quad-core performance
Put more robust execution resources to work with four cores per socket, up to 8MB of shared L2 cache1, and up to 1066 MHz front side bus.Improve responsiveness of data-intensive, memory-bound applications with fully-buffered DIMM technology, which speeds up the memory subsystem with a buffer on each memory module and serial point-to-point lanes between modules.Increase headroom with the performance features of Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, such as delivering more instructions per clock cycle with Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution, improving cache efficiency with Intel® Advanced Smart Cache, and accelerating floating-point-intensive applications with Intel® Advanced Digital Media Bo


Reap the benefits of 64-bit computing2
Increase your ability to handle memory-intensive applications by breaking through the 4GB limit of system memory imposed by 32-bit architectures.Control cost of ownership by enabling mainstream business PCs to execute workloads that previously would have required servers or specialized hardware.Handle larger data sets in implementations that range from digital video to high-performance clusters and the largest transactional databases by handling data in chunks twice as wide as 32-bit architectures.
Improve server scalability and power efficiency
Improve server compute density by deploying more processor cores per socket, which allows you to efficiently scale up infrastructure.Save on power by holding energy consumption relatively constant with an increasing number of cores, even as performance scales upward, to help decrease energy costs.Build power efficiency of the processor by turning off components that are not being used with Intel® Intelligent Power Capability.14MB of Intel® Advanced Smart Cache per core pair.264-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations.
