Image Gallery ( 2 images )-- Intel Wide Dynamic Execution -- Improves performance and efficiency as each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously using an efficient 14-stage pipeline.
-- Intel Smart Memory Access -- Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
-- Intel Advanced Smart Cache -- Includes a shared L2 cache or memory reservoir to reduce power by minimizing memory "traffic" yet increases performance by allowing one core to utilize the entire cache when the other core is idle. Only Intel provides this capability in all segments.
-- Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost -- Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
-- Intel 64 Technology -- This enhancement to Intel's 32-bit architecture supports 64-bit computing, including enabling the processor to access larger amounts of memory.
Mobile PC Processor Unique Features
Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors include many advanced innovations, including:
-- Intel Dynamic Power Coordination -- Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
