Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz 6M L2 Cache 1333MHz LGA775 Desktop Processor
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 brings two computing cores running at 3.33 GHz onto a single processor, giving mainstream users that extra horsepower to ensure that their computing experience won't slow down even when running multiple applications simultaneously. The processor uses the LGA775 socket for compatibility with many motherboards and features 6 MB of L2 cache and a 1333 MHz front side bus.With two computing cores, you'll experience great performance.Intel's Intelligent Power Capability ensures optimal energy efficiency.Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Processorfeatures:Two computing cores running at 3.33 GHz.6 MB of L2 cache.1333 MHz front side bus.Advanced technologies for better energy efficiency.Two Cores on One Chip Deliver Increased Processor PerformanceBy using two processing cores, the E8600 can deliver higher performance with greater energy efficiency than older single-core processors. The E8600 brings robust performance for both home and business software applications, and users will be able to run more applications simultaneously with less stuttering and slowdown.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--with the E8600 you have it both ways at the same time.New Technologies Provide Higher Performance and Better Energy EfficiencyBy using hafnium, a naturally occurring element, Intel engineers were able to shrink the size of new Intel processors and pack more computing technology into less space. The processor also features Intel's Intelligent Power Capability, which allows it to turn off parts of itself when it isn't in use. The result is improved performance with less energy wastage and a reduction of heat and noise, making the processor easier on your wallet and easier on the environment.Intel has packed the Core 2 Duo E8600 with cutting-edge technologies for better performance. Wide Dynamic Execution allows the processor to do more tasks simultaneously by enabling the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle, while Advanced Smart Cache technology improves performance by physically placing data closer to the processing cores. And Smart Memory Access, which increases available data bandwidth, means you'll experience less slowdown while multi-tasking, so you can get more done.Multimedia Acceleration for Faster Content CreationIf you are editing HD video, manipulating professional grade photos, or working with music, the E8600 will let your computer keep up with your imagination. The processor features Intel's Advanced Digital Media Boost for accelerating performance of a wide range of applications including video, gaming, speech and image, and photo processing among others. Additionally, Intel's HD Boost technology further improves the performance of SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high definition.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 allows for a quieter, more energy-efficient PC while still maintaining a high level of performance. It it backed by a three-year warranty.
