Product Overview
Intel® Core™2 Duo processors – members of Intel’s growing prod-
uct line of multi-core processors based on Intel® Core™ microarchi-
tecture – now feature 45nm process technology to deliver even
greater energy-efficient performance. Intel Core 2 Duo processor
technology makes it possible to integrate two complete execu-
tion cores in one physical package, providing advancements in
simultaneous computing for multi-threaded applications and multi-
tasking environments. Intel’s hafnium-based 45nm Hi-k silicon
process technology enables even more processor performance
by doubling transistor density and increasing cache size by up to
50 percent. The result is improved speed and efficiency, relative
to previous-generation dual-core Intel® processors.
Intel Core 2 Duo processors meet the needs of a wide range
of performance-intensive, low-power embedded applications
in smaller form factors such as retail and transaction services
(i.e., point-of-service terminals and ATMs), gaming platforms,
industrial control and automation, digital security surveillance
and medical imaging. While incorporating advanced processor
technology, they remain software-compatible with previous
IA-32 processors.

Intel® Core™2 Duo processors, based on Intel® Core™ microarchi-
tecture, include two complete execution cores, shared L2 cache,
and intelligent power management capabilities. These features
deliver significantly greater performance-per-watt over previous-
generation dual-core Intel® processors.
