Introduction
The Intel
®
 Core™2 Extreme processor X6800 and Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo desktop 
processor E6000 and E4000 series combine the performance of the previous generation 
of desktop products with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture to 
enable smaller, quieter systems. These processors are 64-bit processors that maintain 
compatibility with IA-32 software.
The Intel
®
 Core™2 Extreme processor X6800 and Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo desktop 
processor E6000 and E4000 series use Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA6) package 
technology, and plugs into a 775-land surface mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket, 
referred to as the LGA775 socket. 
Note:
In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo desktop 
processor E6000 series refers to Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo desktop processors E6850, E6750, 
E6550, E6540, E6700, E6600, E6420, E6400, E6320, and E6300. The Intel
®
 Core™2 
Duo desktop processor E4000 series refers to Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo desktop processor 
E4700, E4600, E4500, E4400, and E4300.
Note:
In this document, unless otherwise specified, the Intel
®
 Core™2 Extreme processor 
X6800 and Intel
®
 Core™2 Duo desktop processor E6000 and E4000 series are referred 
to as “processor.”
The processors support several Advanced Technologies including the Execute Disable 
Bit, Intel
®
 64 architecture, and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
 Technology. The Intel 
Core™2 Duo desktop processor E6000 series and Intel Core™2 Extreme processor 
X6800 support Intel
®
 Virtualization Technology (Intel VT). In addition, the Intel 
Core™2 Duo desktop processors E6850, E6750, and E6550 support Intel
®
 Trusted 
Execution Technology (Intel
®
 TXT).
The processor's front side bus (FSB) uses a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol 
like the Intel
®
 Pentium
®
 4 processor. The FSB uses Source-Synchronous Transfer (SST) 
of address and data to improve performance by transferring data four times per bus 
clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). 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.
The processor includes an address bus power-down capability which removes power 
from the address and data signals when the FSB is not in use. This feature is always 
enabled on the processor.
