Intel Core?2 Duo Processor Product Highlight
Combining Intel's highly efficient 45nm manufacturing technology and Intel Core? microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor delivers robust performance for both home and business software applications. With two complete computing "brains" on one physical processor, this dual-core processor delivers more performance with greater energy efficiency than older single-core processors. For PC users, this means doing more simultaneously with less slowdown and hesitation. Intel Technology
45nm Hafnium-Based Architecture. Thanks to a naturally occurring element called Hafnium, Intel engineers were able to shrink the size of new Intel processors and pack more computing technology into less space. The result is improved performance with less energy wastage.
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution. Enables the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle for shorter execution times and improved energy efficiency?accomplish more simultaneously and with greater efficiency.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability. Turning off portions of the processor when they aren't being used improves overall energy efficiency and reduces heat production, resulting in a quieter, more energy efficient system.
Intel Smart Memory Access. Increasing available data bandwidth means more multitasking with less slowdown?run more demanding applications simultaneously and accomplish more in less time.
Intel Advanced Smart Cache. Placing data closer to the processing cores improves platform responsiveness and performance with a wide range of applications.
Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost. Accelerates performance with a wide range of applications, including video, gaming, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications.
Intel HD Boost. Available only on the latest 45nm Intel processors, this revolutionary technology takes Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost and improves it even further, enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction set. SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high-definition resolution will see additional performance improvements
Performance for Multitasking
With two powerful and highly efficient processing cores, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor frees you to run multiple software applications at the same time without compromising performance or responsiveness. Everything including email, downloading, online shopping, and video editing can be done simultaneously and with greater efficiency. No longer is it necessary to choose between work and play.
Energy Efficiency
When working or playing hard, you want to keep distractions to a minimum. Thanks to Intel's exclusive 45nm technology, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor runs very efficiently?consuming less energy and producing less heat then previous-generation processors. Since desktop PCs featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo processor run cooler, they require less cooling, meaning fewer fans and a quieter computing experience. And with energy-saving features that shut down portions of the processor when they are not in use, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor is easier on your energy bill and the environment.

Amazon ships at the right time September 4, 2008
The processor has good speed and handles good workload, yet i'm not sure about the heat generation i didn't use the ordinary fan came with it and i bought other special fan and that fan keeps it at 40c, amazon ships at the right time and the handling of shipment is good.
Intel E8400 duo processor September 1, 2008
This processor is everything people say it is and then some. It is super fast. Whether you are using it for gaming or multimedia or both, I am sure it will handle all of your needs. Well worth the price.
Quad cores have nothing on this. August 26, 2008
Yes I'm aware that this is a dual core but I've done my research and this Wolfdale core kicks the snot out of similiar priced quad cores. Runs cool and efficient, as far as performance to cost ratio, buy this CPU.
Who needs quad core? August 16, 2008
I was undecided between the e8400 and the Q6600 until after doing some research, I learned that almost no programs take advantage of a quad core right now, and are unlikely to in the near future. With the rate processor technology changes these days, getting a quad core now doesn't make a lot of sense. By the time quad cores are the norm, there will be something way better than what's on the market now. Dual core is sufficient for 99.9 of all programs on the market!
I was able to overclock this processor to 3.8ghz using a Zalman CPU cooler at 48C idle and 56C under load. I have a Asus p5k-e motherboard, which overclocks really, really well.
Pros:
Tremendous speed for the price
Extreme overclocking potential
Intel reliability
Cons:
Pretty poor stock cooler. Get yourself an aftermarket cooler if you plan to do any overclocking.
Cool fast, and cheaper than the E8500 August 4, 2008
At room temperature, w/ stock fan, idles at 29C. The 45nm process really is nuts. Try to get at least 1066MHz FSB on your motherboard to get more out of this chip, and ram to match. I've heard of people get this chip up to 4.0GHz without water-cooling, which is nuts.
And you can overclock to make this the same as an E8500, but not spend the extra $50 or so. Excellent price/performance ratio. XP boots in 20 seconds.
