Product Description

The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the Intel Core micro-architecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so you can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workload.

Customer Reviews

Good performance
This processor is quite stable, it is heated a little more. Intel heatsink is very good and super silent. More >>

Very Powerful

Still the best
Intel may have release faster CPU, but nothing overclocks like this beast. Just set the FSB to 400MHZ and keep the multiplier at 9 and you have a 3.6 GHZ CPU at stock voltage. More >>

Excellent Processor
I purchased this in late 2007 from amazon for my gaming system, it cost me $275 back then. This thing is extremely powerful and stable. More >>

Best non-i7 CPU
If you are looking for a CPU and won't buy the new architecture (i7) then this is it. This little thing will blow your daily activities and still be left waiting for more tasks to do. More >>
