Why choose a Core 2 Duo processor for your computer to your new high end?
It has been difficult for Intel to watch AMD's Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2 and FX pretty much take over the performance PC market, putting the giant once-untouchable chip in a position where his only response was to reduce price competition. Those were dark days. But now, with the release of the long-awaited codename "Conroe" Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme and Intel seems poised to start a new era of domination of the office.
Most viewers Intel will regain the performance crown from AMD, but few anticipated the magnitude of this victory, or near-perfect style with which he made Intel. And the Core 2 Duo is just the first strike in this battle as Intel also provides preemptive Pentium D price cuts and revamped its single-core Pentium 4 and Celeron D lines as well.
The Conroe excels three areas, which adds to the very definition of what a buyer expects from a current desktop CPU upscale. These factors are price, performance and power requirements, and the 65-nanometer process Core 2 Duo and Extreme has outperformed AMD in each, completing the same type of "triple play" AMD had turned on the Pentium 4 and Pentium D.
The question of who has the best performance is not yet in place for the debate: The Core 2 Extreme 2.93 X6800 is the fastest processor desktop on the planet, and the 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo E6700 is not far behind. Even the next step to 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo E6600 is an artist of exceptional office exceed flagship AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 in most tests.
Power and cooling are also extremely weak Core 2 Duo line offers the lowest drawing power of a dual-core processor, the Core 2 Duo Extreme not far away. Prices are also very competitive. In fact, it is surprising that for such a competitive price, the Core 2 Duo E6600 AMD could outrun entire desktop lineup. The low-end models Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400 are even more affordable, although their 2MB instead of 4MB of Level 2 cache means their relative performance is not as high.
Intel has done this through a radical change away from the Pentium NetBurst technology. Conroe is the basis for the next generation running more instructions per clock (IPC), rather than having a longer and potentially less effective pipeline that can be synchronized in the stratosphere. Core 2 '2 MB or 4 MB of cache based 256-bit L2 Advanced Smart Cache that Intel calls, dynamic shared between two cores for maximum efficiency, rather than chaining half of the cache for each core.
With levels above IPC over AMD clock speeds up 2.93 GHz and 1066 MHz FSB, Intel has evolved well before the game, despite performance stick with the traditional architecture CPU and chipset rather that the approach of AMD on-chip memory and the controller.
Conroe design also reflects a need to maintain the power requirements and production of heat through various energy-saving technologies. Since the basic architecture will be shared by all Intel lines (with the exception of Itanium), including the upcoming mobile processors, this translates into the same effective processing power.
The Core 2 Duo Extreme and can offer top performance, Intel SpeedStep ensure that the chips can ramp down the multiplier and reduce the clock speed to save battery power and / or lower levels of base heat.
In addition, new intelligent Power Capability can go beyond slowing the CPU as a whole to transform the diverse and essential functions as required. These saving techniques energy are not in the way of pure performance, as Conroe jumps instantly back to top speed when needed.
Through the use technical expertise achieved through technology advances and server CPU Intel exprertise beat again with a combination of power, low power consumption and heat production and reliability especially as advances in processor speed can disable and damaging heard.
The Core 2 Duo CPU should be an important factor in future purchases high-end computing.
