Intel Core?2 Quad Processor Product Highlight
Starting with Intel's revolutionary new high-efficiency, high-performance 45nm processor technology, Intel engineers decided to go one step farther in the performance department. By including up to 12 MB of shared L2 cache and Front Side Bus speeds of up to 1333 MHz, the Intel Core?2 Quad processor pushes the technological innovation envelope farther than ever before. For users, this means the latest and most advanced software applications can open and run faster than ever before with superior responsiveness. When used with the latest multimedia software and next-generation games, dropped frames, long waiting times and stuttering performance are history. Intel Technology
45nm Hafnium-Based Architecture. Thanks to a naturally occurring element called Hafnium, Intel engineers were able to shrink the size of new Intel processors and pack more computing technology into less space. The result is improved performance with less energy wastage.
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution. Enables the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle for shorter execution times and improved energy efficiency?accomplish more simultaneously and with greater efficiency.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability. Turning off portions of the processor when they aren't being used improves overall energy efficiency and reduces heat production, resulting in a quieter, more energy efficient system.
Intel Smart Memory Access. Increasing available data bandwidth means more multitasking with less slowdown?run more demanding applications simultaneously and accomplish more in less time.
Intel Advanced Smart Cache. Placing data closer to the processing cores improves platform responsiveness and performance with a wide range of applications.
Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost. Accelerates performance with a wide range of applications, including video, gaming, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications.
Intel HD Boost. Available only on the latest 45nm Intel processors, this revolutionary technology takes Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost and improves it even further enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction set. SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high-definition resolution, will see additional performance improvements
Multimedia
With professional-grade photo, music and HD video editing software readily available for consumers, it's becoming increasingly popular to create, edit, and share entertainment with friends and family. Unfortunately, these same applications are notoriously performance hungry. Built to handle the most demanding software, the four cores of the 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad processor help ensure that when you're working with high-resolution photos, exporting your next audio mashup, or editing HD-quality home movies, your computing platform will be able to keep pace with your creative muse.
Multitasking
A computing platform featuring a new 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad-Core processor maximizes processing efficiency, allowing computer users to juggle multiple projects in multiple applications without experiencing the slowdown typically seen with traditional single-core processors.
Gaming
Next-generation gaming is more than just pretty environments and smooth motion. Behind the incredible visual realism of waterfalls or the unlucky ricochet of a bullet are intense, high-speed calculations of asset streaming, terrain generation, 3D rendering, and physics effects. When running select next-generation games, each of the cores in the Intel Core 2 Quad processor can be dedicated to each of these individual processes, resulting in smoother, more lifelike graphics and further blurring the line between virtual and reality.

 Superb!!!! I'm very astonished November 2, 2008
Cha M. Hui
I bought this cpu because its four cores, just right get arrived in my office, I began to mount it in my msi p35 mobo with 4 gb ram corsair and 750 gb HDD, this pc will be used like a server, and so far, it has worked excellent, I really recomend it!!!
Overclocks 3.8GHz September 8, 2008

So far I haven't had any problems with this cpu. I'm pleased with Intel and don't plan on going back to AMD anytime soon.

I am a gamer, I don't like to overclock anything, in the past I usually did this, must of the time I get errors when playing, It can be the cooling system or whatever, the thing is that if you overclock the components you are limiting the life of the component, so for this reason I buy this CPU, for the price I consider is a great value for every dollar I invest on this, I can play WOW at great speed, with no delay.
Great CPU August 25, 2008

Mine idles at 15 degrees and on load it reaches a maximum of 37 running at 3.2GHz without raising the volt... my past q6600 gets too hot to try overclocking... this processor with added 12MB cache runs very fast... will certainly recommend it to anyone...
Best Intel quad core price-performance. Throw out the fan though. August 14, 2008

First off, this processor is undoubtedly the best deal out there among the Intel quad-cores. Compared to the Q9550 at $570 and the QX9650 at $1000 or more, this CPU is a certified bargain. It has all of the features of those others (at least as far as I know) but just runs a touch slower (2.66 GHz instead of 2.8 or 3.0 GHz.) I wouldn't pay more for one of the other quad-cores unless you insist on having the fastest thing out there. There are other places in your system to spend your money where you'll get more performance for your dollar.
As much as I like the CPU, however, it would be a shame to install it with the terrible stock fan included in the box. Installation was a pain (the flimsy plastic pins kept popping out of the holes in my motherboard) and it is noisy and relatively ineffective at maintaining temperatures. Take some of that money you saved by opting for this CPU instead of a higher model quad core, and buy a quality CPU cooler separately. Your system will run quieter and cooler.
In short, put this (and an aftermarket CPU cooler) on your short list if you're building a system.
