All of the CPUs launching today also support Intel's Virtualization Technology (VT), run on a 1066MHz FSB and are built using 65nm transistors. Hyper Threading is not supported on any Core 2 CPU currently on Intel's roadmaps, although a similar feature may eventually make its debut in later CPUs. Intel's Core 2 launch lineup is fairly well rounded as you can see from the table below: CPUĪs the name implies, all Core 2 Duo CPUs are dual core as is the Core 2 Extreme. What you're looking at is Conroe and today is its birthday. No, you're instead looking at the most impressive piece of silicon the world has ever seen - and the fastest desktop processor we've ever tested. Honestly, unless you flip it over there's no indication of what lies beneath that dull aluminum heat spreader.īut make no mistake, what you see before you is not the power hungry, poor performing, non-competitive garbage (sorry guys, it's the truth) that Intel has been shoving down our throats for the greater part of the past 5 years.
What you see above appears to be no different than a Pentium D. We've all been waiting for this day, the day Intel lifts the last remaining curtain on the chip that is designed to re-take the performance crown from AMD, to return Intel to its days of glory. In the past we've talked about its architecture and even previewed its performance, but today is the real deal. The architecture is called Core, processor family is Core 2, the product names are Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme.
