Detailed Features

Features

  • Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
    Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
  • Intel® Smart Memory Access
    Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution. A newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-flight instructions have to wait for data. New pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These functions keep the pipeline full, improving instruction throughput and performance. 45nm versions further improve this feature, with more efficient methods of loading and storing data in main memory.
  • Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
    The shared L2 cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, dual-core optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
  • Intel® Advanced Digital
    Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to significantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including video, audio, and image processing, and 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. 45nm versions include a new Super Shuffle Engine, which improves existing SSE instructions while enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction set. SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high-definition resolution, will see additional performance improvements.
  • Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)
    Intel® VT allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. For businesses, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
  • Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)
    Intel® TXT provides hardware-based mechanisms to help protect against software-based attacks and help protect the confidentiality and integrity of data stored or created on the system. It does this by enabling a trusted environment where applications can run within their own space, protected from all other software on the system.
  • Intel® 64 Architecture
    Enables the processor to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel 64 architecture can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory.
  • Execute Disable Bit
    Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system. The Execute Disable Bit allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable, allowing the processor to raise an error to the operating system if malicious code attempts to run in non-executable memory, thereby preventing the code from infecting the system.

Runs all games cranked up with ATI 7980. Stock cooler is worse than the older ones for Pentium D's. I used an older stock cooler and it works great at factory clock speeds and above.

Although a fairly old processor, it still outperforms most of AMD (if not all) and Intel CPU's that cost between 200 and 250, no joke. It can be overclocked to 4.2Ghz (mine is at 3.9Ghz), depending on the motherboard, memory, and cooling system of course. If any of you want to have an amazing PC that can run all games, get this CPU and top it off with Radeon 4870, you will not be sorry.

THE BEST DUO CPU EVER! RUNS AT 3.6 ALL DAY LONG OVERCLOCKED. Just use a good CPU Cooler, Thermal Extreme Conductivity Compound and lots of Case fans.
