Product Information
If your older single-core laptop CPU is starting to drag performance-wise, upgrade for better, faster results with the 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 dual-core processor. This laptop processor, which is a model in the Penryn series of Intel’s mobile CPUs, features two cores, a 3MB L2 cache system, a 1066 MHz FSB bus speed, and other specs built for speed that will have your machine running at higher benchmarks for performance at great value. The Intel Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 has two cores ready to power the computing capabilities of your notebook to your specifications. The two-core model means that your system will essentially run as if there are two CPUs inside, allowing for parallel computing. Highly threaded software applications can then get more work done at the same time, which means your laptop will be completing tasks sooner. The bus speed, which measures data transfer between computer components or between computers, is 1066 MHz FSB. (FSB, or front-side bus, carries information between the CPU and memory controller hub.) Many other processors in this series feature bus speed specifications of 800 MHz, or even 533 MHz, meaning the 1066 MHz FSB in the Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 will show better performance and hit higher benchmarks. The 2.4 GHz processor in the Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 is speedy enough to handle most software tasks. Those looking to use processors from the Intel Core 2 Duo series for gaming (when combined with a graphics card containing a dedicated GPU), will find that the processor has enough GHz to fuel solid graphics performance. Many modern games will require specs with GHz speeds ranging from 1.5 GHz to mid-2 GHz at a minimum, so the 2.4 GHz of the Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 will run many games, and may be able to run some games that have lower GHz requirements on higher graphics settings. Those using this processor for most office software applications will find the 2.4 GHz to be ample speed for word processing and spreadsheet-type applications. The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 cache is 3MB L2 cache memory, which shares that amount of memory between each core for quick access, cutting down processing times across your system for high performance. The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 supports type DDR2 RAM. The instruction set uses Intel 64-bit architecture. The socket supports BGA479 or PGA478 sockets, and the package size is 35mm by 35mm. The max thermal design power (TDP) of the Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 is 25W. The voltage range is 1.050V-1.162V. This model of Intel Core 2 Duo processors also features Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, which balances high performance with power conservation will check processor load, and then switch voltage and processor frequency in response. So the Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 provides the speed and power you need when your software requires it, and the rest of the time, your hardware will be using less power. The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 hits solid benchmarks among Intel’s Penryn series of Core 2 Duo CPUs for good results at a value cost. The 2.4 GHz processor and other advanced specifications mean you’ll be getting solid hardware from a trusted company.Product Identifiers
