Core 2 Duo models

Cássio Lima

In this tutorial we will list all of the Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme models to date and will introduce some of their key features.

Core 2 Duo processors (codenamed Conroe) started the new generation of Intel CPUs built on the new core architecture (because Core 2 Duo is the first processor for use by desktops). Using this architecture), and also the termination statement for Netburst architecture was used by Intel's 7th-generation microprocessors, an approximate generation since 2000. Due to the core architectures being built On the same architecture as the architecture used in Pentium M and Pentium III, we can say Core 2 Duo is the 6th generation of Intel CPUs. Besides Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme and Xeon series 5100 CPUs (codenamed Woodcrest) also use this new architecture.

Core 2 family has three products: Core 2 Duo - an alternative to Pentium 4 and Pentium D, Core 2 Quad - this product is a quad core Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme - replacing Pentium Extreme Edition. The difference between Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme is that the Core 2 Extreme processor runs at a higher clock rate and has an unlocked clock multiplier, which allows you to speed up (overclock) the CPU with How to change the CPU clock multiplier. Some Core 2 Extreme models have up to 4 CPU cores, for details see below.

Please note that you should not confuse Core 2 Duo with Core Duo. Core Duo is a commercial name for Pentium M manufactured in 65 nm technology with the code name Yonah, while Core 2 Duo is the commercial name of the CPU with the Merom codename (for laptop computers) or Conroe (for desktop computers). ), they use Intel's new core architecture.

The following is a summary of the main features of the Core 2 family:

1. Core architecture
2. L1 32KB instruction memory cache and L1 32KB data memory cache for each core.
3. Dual-core technology or quad-core technology.
4. 65 nm production process
5. Socket 775.
6. 800 MHz (200 MHz x 4), external clock speed of 1,066 MHz (266 MHz x 4) or 1,333 MHz (333 MHz x 4).
7. Unified memory cache L2 2 MB, 4 MB or 8 MAILBOX.
8. Intel virtual technology (except Core 2 Duo E4300)
9. Intel EM64T Technology.
10. SSE3 instruction set.
11. Execute Disable Bit
12. Ability to handle smart power consumption
13. Enhanced SpeedStep technology.

Now let's talk about the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme models that have been released until recently.
