Intel BX80562Q6600 Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz 8MB Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor
The ultimate multi-core performance
Based on Intel Core microarchitecture the Intel Core2 Quad processor includes four complete execution cores within a single processor delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business and home environments.
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. Intel's 45nm manufacturing technology helps the Intel Core 2 Quad processors deliver even more performance without using more energy. This Intel quad-core processor represents Intel’s continued leadership and drive of multi-core processing.
Features and benefits of the Intel Core2 Quad processor
Quad-core processor
- Provides four complete execution cores in a single processor. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance.
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution
- Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
Intel Smart Memory Access
- Improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth.
Intel Advanced Smart Cache
- Optimized for multi-core processors, providing higher-performance with a more efficient chache subsystem. Accelerates a broad range of multimedia, encryption, scientific and financial applications by significantly improving performance when executing Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE/SSE2/SSE3) instructions.
Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost
- Intel HD Boost, implemented on 45nm processors, offers new Intel Streaming SIMD Extension 4 (Intel SSE4) instructions for even greater multimedia performance and faster high definition video editing and encoding.
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)
- Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms.
Intel 64 architecture
- Allows the processor to access larger amounts of memory.
Execute Disable Bit
- Provides extended virus defense when deployed with a supported operating system.
Digital thermal sensor (DTS)
- Provides for more efficient processor and platform thermal control improving system acoustics.
Intel-designed thermal solution for boxed processors
- Includes a 4-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance.
