The Intel® Core™2 Duo desktop processor delivers revolutionary dual-core performance and breakthrough processor energy efficiency. Based on the revolutionary Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor has been developed for an increasingly multimedia-centered, high-definition world, and is designed to do more in less time. Intel Core 2 Duo processors operate at lower frequencies while producing higher performance compared to today’s higher frequency processors, thus enabling quieter and smaller desktop PCs. A platform based on the Intel® 965 Express Chipset family with an optimized memory engine for improved system performance, is the ideal compliment for the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This combination of processor and chipset brings an unparalleled level of performance to the desktop.
