Introduction
The Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo processor E8000 and E7000 series is based on the Enhanced 
Intel
®
 Core
 microarchitecture. The Intel Enhanced Core
 microarchitecture combines 
the performance of previous generation Desktop products with the power efficiencies of 
a low-power microarchitecture to enable smaller, quieter systems. The Intel
®
 Core™2 
Duo processor E8000 and E7000 series are 64-bit processors that maintain 
compatibility with IA-32 software. 
Note:
In this document, the Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo processor E8000 and E7000 series may be 
referred to as "the processor."
Note:
In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo processor E8000 
series refers to the Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo processors E8600, E8500, E8400, E8300, 
E8200, and E8190. 
Note:
In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo processor E7000 
series refers to the Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo processors E7600, E7500, E7400, E7300 and 
E7200. 
The processors use Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA8) package technology, and plugs 
into a 775-land surface mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket, referred to as the 
LGA775 socket. 
The processors are based on 45 nm process technology. The processors feature the 
Intel Advanced Smart Cache, a shared multi-core optimized cache that significantly 
reduces latency to frequently used data. The Intel Core™2 Duo processor E8000 series 
features a 1333 MHz front side bus (FSB) and 6 MB of L2 cache. The Intel Core™2 Duo 
processor E7000 series features a 1333 MHz and 1066 MHz front side bus (FSB) and 
3 MB of L2 cache. The processors support all the existing Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 
(SSE2), Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3), Supplemental Streaming SIMD 
Extension 3 (SSSE3), and the Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (SSE4.1). The 
processors support several Advanced Technologies: Execute Disable Bit, Intel 64 
architecture, and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
 Technology. The Intel Core™2 Duo 
processor E8600, E8500, E8400, E8300, and E8200 support Intel Trusted Execution 
Technology (Intel TXT) and Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT). The Intel Core™2 
Duo processor E7600 supports Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT).
The processor's front side bus (FSB) use a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol. 
The FSB uses Source-Synchronous Transfer of address and data to improve 
performance by transferring data four times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate). 
Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver addresses two times per bus 
clock and is referred to as a "double-clocked" or 2X address bus. Working together, the 
4X data bus and 2X address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 10.7 GB/s. 
Intel has enabled support components for the processor including heatsink, heatsink 
retention mechanism, and socket. Manufacturability is a high priority; hence, 
mechanical assembly may be completed from the top of the baseboard and should not 
require any special tooling.
