Built for mainstream users who might occasionally require some additional performance, Intel® Core™2 Duo processors featuring Intel’s exclusive 45nm architecture are ideal for users interested in surfing the Web, checking email, shopping online, manipulating images, downloading, and watching videos—all at the same time. Robust multitasking capabilities ensure that a computing platform featuring the dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor won’t slow down, even when running multiple software applications simultaneously.
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor Product Highlight
Combining Intel’s highly efficient 45nm manufacturing technology and Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor delivers robust performance for both home and business software applications. With two complete computing “brains” on one physical processor, this dual-core processor delivers more performance with greater energy efficiency than older single-core processors. For PC users, this means doing more simultaneously with less slowdown and hesitation.
Performance for Multitasking
With two powerful and highly efficient processing cores, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor frees you to run multiple software applications at the same time without compromising performance or responsiveness. Everything including email, downloading, online shopping, and video editing can be done simultaneously and with greater efficiency. No longer is it necessary to choose between work and play.
Energy Efficiency
When working or playing hard, you want to keep distractions to a minimum. Thanks to Intel’s exclusive 45nm technology, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor runs very efficiently—consuming less energy and producing less heat then previous-generation processors. Since desktop PCs featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo processor run cooler, they require less cooling, meaning fewer fans and a quieter computing experience. And with energy-saving features that shut down portions of the processor when they are not in use, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor is easier on your energy bill and the environment.
