90nm Process Technology

Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)

Provides two execution cores in one physical processor allowing the platform to do more 
in less time while enjoying smooth interaction with your PC.

Processor voltage and frequency adjust based on the needs of the application at hand 
which can result in less power usage and heat production.

This may increase performance by removing the decoder from the main execution loop of each 
processing core and makes more efficient usage of the cache storage space since instructions 
that are branched around are not stored. 

Each processor core is equipped with its own 1M cache allowing the execution cores to 
quickly access data for processing and reducing the amount of Front Side Bus traffic.

Delivers excellent system bandwidth for maximizing efficiency and improving performance.

Can help to prevent some classes of viruses and worms that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities 
thus helping to improve the overall security of the system.

Processors with Intel EM64T allow platforms to access larger amounts of memory and 
will support 64-bit extended operating systems from Microsoft, Red Hat and SuSE.

Newest generation manufacturing process with technologies to help increase processor performance.

Gives your digital media applications an overall boost.
