<strong>Screams Performance.<br />Conserves Power. Revolutionizes PCs.<br /></strong>With Intel&reg; Core&trade;2 Duo desktop processor, you&#39;ll experience revolutionary performance, unbelievable system responsiveness, and energy-efficiency built in &ndash; up to 40% faster and over 40% more energy efficient. Intel&reg; Core&trade;2 Duo processor is the new brand name for our next-generation energy-efficient performance desktop and mobile processors. Formerly known by their codenames Conroe and Merom, the Intel&reg; Core&trade;2 processors for desktop and mobile computers are based on the Intel&reg; Core&trade; microarchitecture, Intel&#39;s new industry-leading foundation for all mobile, desktop and server platforms moving forward. <br /><br /><p align="left"><b>Delivering the Best Overall Performance. Period.</b><br />Up to 40 percent faster than previous generation desktop processors the Intel Core 2 Duo desktop processor provides unrivaled performance for all your desktop computing needs. With the latest arsenal of performance-rich technologies, including up to 2MB of shared L2 cache, and up to 1066 MHz Front Side Bus, you&#39;ve got the future of computing now, and only from Intel. The Intel Core 2 Duo processor-based desktop PC was designed from the ground up for energy efficiency, letting you enjoy higher performing, ultra-quiet, sleek, and low power desktop PC designs. Do more at the same time, like playing your favorite music, running virus scan in the background, and all while you edit video or pictures. The powerful Intel Core 2 Duo desktop processor PCs provides you with the speed you need to perform any and all tasks imaginable. <br /></p><p><b>Features</b></p><ul><li><b>Intel&reg; Wide Dynamic Execution</b><br />Dynamic execution is a combination of techniques (data flow analysis, speculative execution, out of order execution, and super scalar) that Intel first implemented in the P6 microarchitecture used in the Pentium&reg; Pro processor, Pentium&reg; II processor and Pentium&reg; III processors.<br /></li><li><b>Intel&reg; Intelligent Power Capability</b><br />Intel&reg; Intelligent Power Capability is a set of capabilities designed to reduce power consumption and design requirements. This feature manages the runtime power consumption of all the processor&#39;s execution cores. The result is excellent energy optimization enabling the Intel Core microarchitecture to deliver more energy-efficient performance for desktop PCs, mobile PCs and servers. </li><li><b>Intel&reg; Advanced Smart Cache</b><br />The Intel&reg; Advanced Smart Cache is a multi-core optimized cache that significantly reduces latency to frequently used data, thus improving performance and efficiency by increasing the probability that each execution core of a dual-core processor can access data from a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem. </li><li><b>Intel&reg; Smart Memory Access</b><br />Intel&reg; Smart Memory Access improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth from the memory subsystem and hiding the latency of memory accesses. </li><li><b>Intel&reg; Advanced Digital Media Boost</b><br />The Intel&reg; Advanced Digital Media Boost is a feature that significantly improves performance when executing Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/SSE2/SSE3) instructions. </li></ul>
