C2QX stands for the Extreme-Editions of the Quad (QX6700, QX6800, QX6850). With the release of the Core 2 processor, the abbreviation C2 has come into common use, with its variants C2D (the present Core 2 Duo), and C2Q, C2E to refer to the Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme processors respectively. With a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W, the Core 2 Duo Conroe dissipates half the power of the less capable contemporary Pentium D-branded desktop chips that have a max TDP of 130 W. The Penryn microarchitecture, a shrink of the former, introduced SSE4.1. The Core microarchitecture introduced SSSE3, Trusted Execution Technology, Enhanced SpeedStep and Active Management Technology (iAMT2). The Core 2-branded processors feature Virtualization Technology without EPT (with some exceptions), the NX bit and SSE3.
The Core 2-branded CPUs include: Conroe/ Allendale (dual-core for desktops), Merom (dual-core for laptops), Merom-L (single-core for laptops), Kentsfield (quad-core for desktops), and the updated variants named Wolfdale (dual-core for desktops), Penryn (dual-core for laptops) and Yorkfield (quad-core for desktops). From December 2006, all Core 2 Duo processors were manufactured from 300 millimeter plates at Fab 12 factory in Arizona and at Fab 24-2 in County Kildare, Ireland.įor a detailed discussion of CPU cores, see Intel Core (microarchitecture) § Processor cores. Īlthough Woodcrest processors are also based on the Core architecture, they are available under the Xeon brand. Intel Core 2 processors with vPro technology (designed for businesses) include the dual-core and quad-core branches. The Core 2 processor line was introduced on July 27, 2006, comprising the Duo ( dual-core) and Extreme (dual- or quad-core CPUs for enthusiasts), and in 2007, the Quad ( quad-core) and Solo ( single-core) sub-brands. The introduction of Core 2 relegated the Pentium brand to the mid-range market, and reunified laptop and desktop CPU lines for marketing purposes under the same product name, which were formerly divided into the Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Pentium M brands. The Core 2 range was the last flagship range of Intel desktop processors to use a front-side bus. The single- and dual-core models are single- die, whereas the quad-core models comprise two dies, each containing two cores, packaged in a multi-chip module. Intel Core 2 is the processor family encompassing a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit x86-64 single-, dual-, and quad-core microprocessors based on the Core microarchitecture.

Core 2 duo 2.4 ghz series#
The Core 2 Duo P8600 can be used in a Socket P socket with 479 pins: Socket P / Micro Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (Micro-FCPGA) requires 479-pin surface mount Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket (mPGA479M socket) or Micro Flip-Chip Ball Grid Array (Micro-FCBGA) for surface mount (479-ball) Series The integrated Enhanced Speedstep is able to downclock the core dynamically as low as 1200 MHz to save power (in idle mode). Due to the Wide Dynamic Execution Technology, the core is able to simultaneously execute up to four instructions. The P8600 uses a Penryn (Montevina Update) core that features 2 integer units, 1 floating point unit, 1 load unit, and 1 store unit in a 14-stages long pipeline. Compared to the fastest Turion II Ultra M640, the P8600 should be still faster. High end gamers should choose a higher clocked Dual Core instead (when using a high end GPU). Due to the smaller cache (Core 2 Duo T-Models got usually 6 MB at this clock rate), the TDP is only 25 Watt (instead of the 35 Watt of the T-models).ĭue to the relatively high clock speed, modern games (in 2009) should not be limited by the CPU speed (in conjunction with a middle class graphics card).
It features 2.4 GHz and a shared level 2 cache of 3 MB.
The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 is a dual core processor for laptops.
