With a maximum thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W, the Core 2 Duo Conroe dissipates half the power of the less capable contemporary Pentium D-branded desktop chips that have a max TDP of 130 W. The Penryn microarchitecture, a shrink of the former, introduced SSE4.1. The Core microarchitecture introduced SSSE3, Trusted Execution Technology, Enhanced SpeedStep and Active Management Technology (iAMT2). The Core 2-branded processors feature Virtualization Technology without EPT (with some exceptions), the NX bit and SSE3. The Core 2-branded CPUs include: Conroe/ Allendale (dual-core for desktops), Merom (dual-core for laptops), Merom-L (single-core for laptops), Kentsfield (quad-core for desktops), and the updated variants named Wolfdale (dual-core for desktops), Penryn (dual-core for laptops) and Yorkfield (quad-core for desktops). Newer versions of VM software do not support processors older than Nehalem (Core 2 and older) because they lack support for Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also called Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).įor a detailed discussion of CPU cores, see Intel Core (microarchitecture) § Processor cores. Virtual machine or virtualization abilities Ĭore 2 and other LGA 775 processors can support virtualization if the virtual machine (VM) software supports those processors, e.g. From December 2006, all Core 2 Duo processors were manufactured from 300 millimeter plates at Fab 12 factory in Arizona and at Fab 24-2 in County Kildare, Ireland.
Īlthough Woodcrest processors are also based on the Core architecture, they are available under the Xeon brand. Intel Core 2 processors with vPro technology (designed for businesses) include the dual-core and quad-core branches. The Core 2 processor line was introduced on July 27, 2006, comprising the Duo ( dual-core) and Extreme (dual- or quad-core CPUs for enthusiasts), and in 2007, the Quad ( quad-core) and Solo ( single-core) sub-brands. The introduction of Core 2 relegated the Pentium brand to the mid-range market, and reunified laptop and desktop CPU lines for marketing purposes under the same product name, which were formerly divided into the Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Pentium M brands. The Core 2 range was the last flagship range of Intel desktop processors to use a front-side bus. The single- and dual-core models are single- die, whereas the quad-core models comprise two dies, each containing two cores, packaged in a multi-chip module. Intel Core 2 is the processor family encompassing a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit x86-64 single-, dual-, and quad-core microprocessors based on the Core microarchitecture.
