Newer versions of VM software do not support processors older than Nehalem (Core 2 and older) because they lack support for Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also called Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).įor a detailed discussion of CPU cores, see Intel Core (microarchitecture) § Processor cores. Virtual machine or virtualization abilities Ĭore 2 and other LGA 775 processors can support virtualization if the virtual machine (VM) software supports those processors, e.g. From December 2006, all Core 2 Duo processors were manufactured from 300 millimeter plates at Fab 12 factory in Arizona and at Fab 24-2 in County Kildare, Ireland. Īlthough Woodcrest processors are also based on the Core architecture, they are available under the Xeon brand. Intel Core 2 processors with vPro technology (designed for businesses) include the dual-core and quad-core branches. The Core 2 processor line was introduced on July 27, 2006, comprising the Duo ( dual-core) and Extreme (dual- or quad-core CPUs for enthusiasts), and in 2007, the Quad ( quad-core) and Solo ( single-core) sub-brands. The introduction of Core 2 relegated the Pentium brand to the mid-range market, and reunified laptop and desktop CPU lines for marketing purposes under the same product name, which were formerly divided into the Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Pentium M brands. The Core 2 range was the last flagship range of Intel desktop processors to use a front-side bus. The single- and dual-core models are single- die, whereas the quad-core models comprise two dies, each containing two cores, packaged in a multi-chip module. Intel Core 2 is the processor family encompassing a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit x86-64 single-, dual-, and quad-core microprocessors based on the Core microarchitecture. Pentium 4 (single-core, desktop,core 2's microarchitecture was based on P6, not netburst) Allendale, Conroe, Conroe-L, Merom-2M, Merom, Merom-L, Kentsfield, Wolfdale, Yorkfield, Penryn.Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used. System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. See for more information and applicability of this technology. Max Turbo Frequency refers to the maximum single-core processor frequency that can be achieved with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. See for more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families.

Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance.
