The Intel® Pentium® processor with Intel® dual-core technology delivers great desktop performance, low power enhancements, and multitasking for everyday computing. Intel® dual-core processing Runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency. Features up to 2 MB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus. Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution Enables delivery of more instructions per clock cycle to improve execution time and energy efficiency. Intel® Smart Memory Access Improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth. Intel® Advanced Smart Cache The shared L2 cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core based on workload. This 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 Media Boost Accelerates a broad range of multimedia, encryption, scientific and financial applications by significantly improving performance when executing Intel® Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/SSE2/SSE3) instructions. Intel® 64 architecture An enhancement to Intel’s 32-bit architecture to enable the processor to access larger amounts of memory. Execute Disable Bit Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system. Intel® designed thermal solution for boxed processors Intel® boxed processors ship with a thermal solution specifically for this processor designed for maximum thermal and acoustic performance.
