Features

• IntelŪ Dual-Core Processing
  Runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency. Features 1 MB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus.
• IntelŪ Wide Dynamic Execution
  Improves execution speed and ef.ciency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
  
• IntelŪ Smart Memory Access
  Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution. A newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-.ight
  instructions have to wait for data. New pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These functions keep the pipeline full, improving instruction throughput and performance.
• IntelŪ Advanced Smart Cache
  The shared L2 cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This ef.cient, dual-core optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from the fast L2 cache, signi.cantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
• IntelŪ Advanced Digital Media Boost
  Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to signi.cantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including video, audio, image and photo processing, multimedia, encryption, .nancial, engineering, and scienti.c applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are now issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, effectively doubling execution speed on a per clock basis over previous generation processors.
