Intel® Core™2 Duo Processors

Based on Intel's revolutionary Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel® Core™2 Duo processors were designed from the ground up delivering the best system level overall performance per watt. To meet the needs of the embedded platforms, there are multiple processors in offering: the new Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T9400, the Intel® Core™2 Duo SL9400, SL9380, SP9300, SU9300 and the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E8400, E7400 based on industry-leading 45nm process technology, as well as the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6400, the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E4300, the Intel® Core™2 Duo processors T7500 and T7400, the Intel® Core™2 Duo processors L7500 and L7400, and the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor U7500. These processors utilize the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture along with the following key features:

• Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution enabling delivery of more instructions per clock cycle to improve execution time and energy efficiency.
• Intel® Intelligent Power Capability designed to deliver more energy-efficient performance. The 45nm process technology delivers a new super shuffle engine, which improves existing SSE instructions while enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction set. As a result, SSE4-optimized applications such as video editing and encoding in high-definition resolution will see additional performance improvements.
• Intel® Smart Memory Access improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available memory data bandwidth.
• Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost accelerates a broad range of applications, including video, speech and image, photo processing and encryption.
• Intel® Advanced Smart Cache Provides a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem.

Features and benefits

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology¹	For safer computing is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel platforms, enabling security capabilities such as measured launch and protected execution. Hardware-based mechanisms help protect against software-based attacks to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of data stored or created on embedded devices.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)¹	Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. Offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Provides greater isolation and security between different applications and operating systems for added protection against corruption.
Intel® 64²	Supports 64-bit instructions, providing flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. Access to larger physical memory space reduces load on the system and allows faster access to data from RAM instead of drive.
Execute Disable Bit³	Supports 64-bit instructions, providing flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. Access to larger physical memory space reduces load on the system and allows faster access to data from RAM instead of drive. Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) Accurately measures the maximum temperature on the die at any given time and enables efficient thermal control of the processor and platform.
