Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 45nm 2.50GHz 4Mb Cache LGA775 1333 MHz, Retail

The Intel Core 2 Quad processors Q9xxx series are based on the industry-leading 45nm manufacturing technology, providing another giant leap forward on the road to multi-core and parallel computing. The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core 2 Quad processor is made possible by each of the four complete execution cores delivering the full power of Intel Core microarchitecture. 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. This quad-core processor represents Intel's continued leadership and drive of multi-core processing and more parallel computing. The latest versions built on Intel's 45nm manufacturing technology take these benefits to a whole new level. This technology uses hafnium-infused Hi-k transistors, enabling even more processor performance by doubling the transistor density, improving efficiency and speed relative to the previous generation, and increasing cache size by up to 50 percent. These Intel Core 2 Quad processors deliver even more performance without using more energy.

• Intel Core 2 Quad (Q8300) 2.5GHz Processor 4096KB 1333MHz FSB (Boxed)
• Quad-core processor: Provides four complete execution cores in a single processor with up to 12 MB of L2 cache and up to a 1333 MHz Front Side Bus. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so end users can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and work loads.
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology
• Intel EM64T (Intel EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations.)
• Enhanced Halt State (C1E)
• Execute Disable Bit (Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality)
• Intel Thermal Monitor 2
