core 2 duo

Brand Core 2 refers to a range of CPUs Intel commercial 64 bits Dual-Core CPUs 2x2 MCM (Multi-Chip Module) quad-core instruction set x86-64 Based on Core microarchitecture Intel processor derived from dual-core notebook 32 bits Yonah. The CPU 2x2 MCM Quad-Core had two separate dual-core dies (CPUs)-next to each other-in a package MCM four cores.

The core 2 duo relegated the mark Pentium a market for medium-low range, And reunified the desktop and notebook lines, which previously had been divided into the Pentium brand 4, D And M.

The Core micro architecture returned to lower CPU speeds and improved use of both processor clock cycles and power compared with previous NetBurst of CPUs Pentium 4/D The Core micro architecture provides decoding stages, execution units, cache and buses more efficient, reducing energy consumption Core 2 CPUs, while increasing the processing capacity. Intel CPUs have varied sharply in energy consumption according to processor speed, architecture and semiconductor process, shown in tables CPU power dissipation.

Brand Core 2 was introduced on July 27, 2006, lines covering Single (Core) Duo (Dual-Core), Quad (quad-core), And Extreme (CPUs, two or four cores for enthusiasts) in 2007. Intel Core 2 processors with v Pro technology (designed for businesses) include the dual-core branches and four cores.
