About this product

Product Information The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Dual-Core Wolfdale processor, with its base clock speed of 3.33 GHz, can breathe new life into any aging machine. Keeping the motherboard intact means that there is no need to replace RAM and other vital components with a massive selection of new parts. With its two-core design, this processor can help you run more programs simultaneously while experiencing less lag and slowdown. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 microprocessor is well-suited for mainstream tasks like gaming, video editing, and photo manipulation. It can also encode high-definition video faster than comparable single-core processors with lower specifications, thanks to the Intel HD boost technology. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 uses an LGA775 socket, so it is compatible with many different motherboards.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 microprocessor contains many enhanced features that optimize and improve your CPU. The Intel Thermal Monitoring technology keeps the temperature of the CPU stable, even when processing graphically intensive programs and applications or running numerous pieces of software simultaneously. A sensor on the die detects the core's temperature, and the chip's thermal management features keep the temperature within normal operating limits. The Intel SpeedStep technology monitors processing speed and adjusts accordingly through overclocking for a more stable and consistent performance. The Intel Wide Dynamic Execution technology increases the total amount of bandwidth so that the processor can run more tasks simultaneously. The Execute Disable Bit technology reduces your computer's exposure to viruses and malicious codes. Finally, the processor's virtualization ability enables several operating systems to run on the same machine without taking huge performance hits.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 microprocessor operates on a 64-bit instruction set. Based on the 45 nm core micro-architecture, this microprocessor is intended for mid-range users, so you'll get capable results and solid benchmarks. The 1333 MHz FSB, or front-side bus, architecture carries more data between the CPU and memory controller hub than comparable processors. The sizable 6MB L2 cache memory is useful too. Cache memory stores instructions that are frequently accessed, speeding up the operations of the processor. The advanced Intel smart technology improves the abilities of the processor by placing the cache much closer in proximity to the CPU. It ensures that data can be used as quickly as possible by minimizing latency and thus improving efficiency and speed.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 is also very energy efficient, which is a notable difference from single-core processors in the past. Intel's Intelligent Power Capability technology allows the microprocessor to turn off individual parts when they aren't in use. The result is improved performance with less power consumption and a reduction of heat and noise. The Core 2 Duo E8600 averages about 65 watts when operating at its base frequency with all cores active. The best way to speed up an aging machine, an Intel Core 2 E8600 3.33 GHz Dual-Core microprocessor is a reliable way to add efficiency and stability to a faithful home computer or workstation. Simply upgrading the number of cores will dramatically improve the overall performance of your CPU.
