Intel Corp has unveiled 10 Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Extreme processors for consumer and business desktop and laptop PCs and workstations.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processors are built in several of the world's most advanced, high-volume output manufacturing facilities using the company's 65nm silicon process technology. The desktop PC version of the processors also provide up to a 40% increase in performance and are more than 40% more energy efficient versus the company's previous best processor. According to some independent review organizations, the processors win more than nine out of 10 major server, desktop PC and gaming PC performance benchmarks.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor family consists of five desktop PC processors tailored for business, home, and enthusiast users, such as high-end gamers, and five mobile PC processors designed to fit the needs of a mobile lifestyle. Intel Core 2 Duo processor-based workstations will also deliver better performance for such areas as design, content creation and technical computing.
The processor family is based on the Intel Core microarchitecture. With the power of dual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numerous tasks faster. They also can operate more smoothly when multiple applications are running, such as writing e-mails while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan. These dual-core chips also improve tasks, such as viewing and playing high-definition video, protecting the PC and its assets during e-commerce transactions, and enabling improved battery life for sleeker, lighter notebooks.
Consumers and businesses will have the option to purchase Intel Core 2 Duo processors as part of the company's platforms made up of Intel hardware and software technologies tailored to specific computing needs, including Intel vPro technology for businesses, Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology for laptops, and Intel Viiv technology for the home.
Many of the products will also offer a selection of Intel-designed and integrated technologies such as Intel virtualization technology and Intel active management technology that make the PC more secure and manageable. Also, support for 64-bit computing now expands to notebook PCs. The new processors can be paired with the Intel 975X, 965, and Mobile Intel 945 Express chipset family. The Intel 965 Express chipset includes the latest integrated graphics and Intel clear video technology.
Other features of the Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Extreme processors include wide dynamic execution, smart memory access, advanced smart cache, advanced digital media boost, and 64 technology; while other features of the Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors include dynamic power coordination, dynamic bus parking, and enhanced deeper sleep with dynamic cache sizing.
