The shared L2 cache is allocated to each processor core based on workload up to the full amount of total cache. Newly designed and optimized functions for reducing wait time, moving data and accelerating out-of-order execution, keep the pipeline full improving instruction throughput and performance. Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously. Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Two independent processor cores in one physical package run at the same frequency, and share up to 4 MB of L2 cache as well as up to a 1066 MHz Front Side Bus, for truly parallel computing. Intel® Core™2 Duo Desktop Processor Features and Benefits The Intel Core 2 Duo processor also supports features for enhanced security, virtualization and 64-bit computing making it the most impressive new processor developed for an increasingly multimedia-centered, high-definition world. This new processor is designed to do more in less time using Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution, Intel® Smart Memory Access, Intel® Advanced Smart Cache and Intel® Digital Media Boost.
In office, PC usage has changed from data entry and word processing to e-Commerce, online collaboration and an ever-increasing need for continual security and virus protection.
PC users are running multiple, intense software applications simultaneously and demanding more on hardware resources. Built on the innovative Intel Core microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor features two independent processor cores in one physical package operating at 2.4GHz with a full 4MB L2 cache and a 1066MHz FSB to provide truly parallel computing for enhanced multi-application performance.
