Detailed Features

Features

  • Quad-Core Processor
    Provides four complete execution cores in a single Processor with 8 MB of L2 cache and a 1066 MHz Front Side Bus. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so end users can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and work loads.
  • Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
    Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
  • Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
    Shared Level 2 cache across each pair of cores that can be dynamically allocated to each processor core, within the pair, based on workload. This efficient implementation increases the probability that each core within the pair can access data from fast L2 cache, signifcantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
  • Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost
    Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to significantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including video, audio, image and photo processing, multimedia, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are now issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle effectively doubling their speed of execution on a per clock basis over previous generation processors.
  • Intel® Virtualization Technology
    Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. Intel® VT improves manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
  • Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS)
    Provides for more ef.cient processor and platform thermal control improving system acoustics. The DTS continuously measures the temperature at each processing core. The ability to continuously measure and detect variations in processor temperature enables system fans to spin only as fast as needed to cool the system. The combination of these technologies can result in significantly lower noise emissions from the PC.
  • 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. Fan speed control technology is based on actual CPU temperature and power usage.

REVIEW BY: PSP Reviewed  Feb 23, 2008
Okay, I seriously don't want to gloat in everyone's faces who's gotten the Q6600, but this can seriously handle everything better than the Q6600, even so, both have their overclocking abilities, too. Have mine on stock cooling (didn't get the new liquid-cooling yet) running pretty well at 2.96GHz only at 1.297volts. Pretty good compared to the 2.89GHz with 1.37volts on my other Q6600 computer. G0 stepping is a must with this, getting Crysis running stable on overclocked CPU's was hard, got one or two crashes, but when working corectly, I get up to 43fps max with 2 GeForce 8800 GTX's. not sure about getting tri-SLI, but sure it'll be futureproof for a wwhhiille. I think this'll be better than the other quad core, bu the steep change in price is hilarious lol... Still, maybe finding a 45nm Quad core is better, like the Q9300 or the Q9550, both are better, with the Q9300 starting at 2.5GHz. Get this(or other intel quads) or wait for the 45nm's...

Now this may be because I previously had a Pentium 4 HT 3.4Ghz computer but WOW. I have to say what a smart and intuitive CPU.Works flawlessly and and the stock fan keeps the CPU cool around 29*C and at max load 38*C. Thing is if you expect to get pass 2.8Ghz with stability you will need a better source of cooling whether fan or heat sink. Any way no matter what i do i cant get the CPU percentage too 100% without using stress test. Quad core is the best on the market right now.

What You Should Know

PLEASE NOTE: We only sell NEW processors purchased direct from the manufacturer or from factory authorized distributors. We will never sell a "pull" (which is a CPU removed from an assembled system at some manufacturing plant) or a used processor as other online vendors do without telling you. We are the largest CPU reseller in the Country, we offer the lowest prices in the industry on processors because we deal in such great volume. If you are comparing our price against another site with a much lower price, you are probably buying returns or pulls. Only accept genuine quality, buy from Us.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OUR RETURN POLICY ON CPU'S: Please note that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange. You must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the processor in order to preserve your warranty or exchange privilege. We are not able to accept returns for refunds on processors under any circumstances. All processors will be inspected and tested upon return and any damage caused by poor packaging, overclocking, or other tampering with the processor will be cause for the return to be refused, and exchange denied.
