Product Description
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the Intel Core micro-architecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so you can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workload. A 4-pin connector is included for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance.

Intel Technology
IntelA Wide Dynamic Execution. Enables the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle for shorter execution times and improved energy efficiencyaaccomplish more simultaneously and with greater efficiency.

IntelA Intelligent Power Capability. Turning off portions of the processor when they aren't being used improves overall energy efficiency and reduces heat production, resulting in a quieter, more energy efficient system.

IntelA Smart Memory Access. Increasing available data bandwidth means more multitasking with less slowdownarun more demanding applications simultaneously and accomplish more in less time.

IntelA Advanced Smart Cache. Placing data closer to the processing cores improves platform responsiveness and performance with a wide range of applications.

IntelA Advanced Digital Media Boost. Accelerates performance with a broad range of applications including video, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications.

Multimedia
With professional-grade photo, music and HD video editing software readily available for consumers, it's becoming increasingly popular to create, edit, and share entertainment with friends and family. Unfortunately, these same applications are notoriously performance hungry. Built to handle the most demanding software, the four cores of this Intel processor help ensure that when you're working with high-resolution photos, exporting your next audio mashup, or editing HD-quality home movies, your computing platform will be able to keep pace with your creative muse.

Multitasking
A computing platform featuring the Intel Core 2 Quad processor maximizes processing efficiency, allowing users to juggle multiple projects in multiple applications without experiencing the slowdown typically seen with traditional single-core processors. As a result, work and creative projects will get done sooner.

Gaming
Next-generation gaming is more than just pretty environments and smooth motion. Behind the incredible visual realism of waterfalls or the unlucky ricochet of a bullet are intense, high-speed calculations of asset streaming, terrain generation, 3D rendering, and physics effects. When running select next-generation games, each of the cores in the Intel Core 2 Quad processor can be dedicated to individual processes, resulting in smoother, more lifelike graphics and further blurring the line between virtual and reality.

5 out of 5 stars For the money you can't have more processing power   November 16, 2008
A processing powerhouse!!! that's what this processor is.
It can handle anything you throw at it, photoshop, music ripping, video editing, games, developing, or if you wish, everything at the same time.
Note: it can be frustrating to wish to top the processor and can't.



5 out of 5 stars WOW!!!! Great Processor!   November 16, 2008
I jumped from and AMD Athlon XP 2600+ to this and the difference is huge!!! I can play, burn a CD, hear some music and everything runs fine. Great Processor and Excellent Price!!!


5 out of 5 stars Awesome processor   November 10, 2008
There is so much written about the product there is nothing to add. It is my master desktop processor in an intel board. I am going to upgrade my board and move this processor to it. This with RAID striping is outstanding. Spending more for a faster processor isn't really necessary unless you are a gamer. I am not, but I have very high requirments as I work on PC's for a living.


1 out of 5 stars Misleading price   October 31, 2008
 1 out of 7 found this review helpful

Amazon is very misleading when they quote a Retail Price of $329.00 This processor has been widely available for $199 or less for almost a year.


5 out of 5 stars Quad-Core is Smoothe   October 20, 2008
I have been running the Intel quad-core for about a year and I have never regretted the investment. I am not a gamer, but I do use my pc for streaming video, processing very large data files, running DB2 DBMS, and I seem to have 5+ apps open at any one time. If I had to sum up the results of this cpu, I would say "smoothe and stable." Windows Vista runs very smoothly with all of its services and gadgets. At under $200, what are you waiting for?
