Product Information
Upgrade your personal or work computer to a dual-core processor with the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600. Based on the innovative Intel Core 65nm architecture, the Core 2 Duo microprocessor features two independent processing cores at a clock speed of 2.4 GHz, with the ability to overclock the speed and improve performance. The processor allocates different programs to separate cores, allowing you to watch high-definition videos or browse the web while running virus scans or downloads in the background. The Core 2 Duo processor was designed to meet the demands of a normal desktop user. With its dual-core design, you experience less lag and slowdown during any number of normal operations. The Intel E6600 is a capable mid-range microprocessor that gives your aging motherboard a second life.Compared to previous generations of chips, the Intel Core 2 Duo features a number of hardware specifications and improvements to the processor's architecture. The Core 2 Duo E6600 has 4MB of L2 cache, which is the part of the microprocessor that stores the most frequently accessed data on the CPU. This is twice as large as the L2 cache on the E6300 and E6400 processors in the same family. It also features a 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), which carries data between the CPU and the memory controller hub. That means swifter speeds for you as the user. The Core 2 Duo E6600 microprocessor operates on a 64-bit instruction set, but it's also binary compatible with its 32-bit software. Virtualization technology allows you to run a virtual machine, which is essentially a second system, on one physical computer. Use the virtual machine for testing, tinkering, and tweaking while leaving your regular system untouched. The Core 2 Duo E6600 has an LGA 775 socket, so it is compatible with a wide array of different motherboards.The Core 2 Duo microprocessor was designed to take advantage of a number of innovative Intel features that optimize the performance of your CPU. For example, with the Intel Thermal Monitoring technology, the microprocessor dynamically responds to small changes in the processor's temperature. Even when you're running several different CPU-intensive programs simultaneously, the microprocessor always keeps the temperature of the CPU stable. The Intel SpeedStep technology allows the computer to dynamically adjust the processor's voltage and core frequency to meet the demands of the software. The Intel Wide Dynamic Execution technology allows four parallel instructions to be executed at the same time, increasing the efficiency of each core. The Intel Execute Disable Bit-tech reduces your computer's exposure to harmful viruses and malicious codes. Last, but not least, the Intel Idle States technology saves energy and keeps the temperature down by putting the processor into an idle state when it's not under a heavy burden.The Core 2 Duo E6600 microprocessor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 watts. This is the average power that the microprocessor dissipates when operating at its base frequency with every core active. Install the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 and experience great energy efficiency and quality performance with incredible parallel computing within its 2.4 GHz dual-core.Product Identifiers
