Intel Core Duo Processor Features

Features	Benefits
Intel® Smart Cache – 2MB L2 cache with Advanced Transfer Cache Architecture	Delivers a smarter and more ef.cient cache and bus design to enable enhanced dual-core performance and power savings.
Intel® Digital Media Boost	Micro-architectural enhancements that include instruction optimizations and performance enhancements accelerate a diverse variety of processing-intensive tasks, such as audio/video processing, image processing, 3D graphics, and scienti.c calculations.
Intel® Dynamic Power Coordination with Dynamic Bus Parking	Dual-core on demand, coordinated performance with enhanced low power management features Dynamic Bus Parking. This enables platform power savings by allowing the chipset to power down with the processor in these low-frequency mode states.
Enhanced Intel® Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing	Allows the processor to lower voltage below the Deeper Sleep minimum voltage to enable enhanced power savings. Dynamic Cache Sizing is a new power savings mechanism that enables the Intel® Smart.Cache to dynamically .ush system memory based on demand or during periods of inactivity.
Intel® Advanced Thermal Manager	A new thermal management system delivers enhanced accuracy and more precise acoustic control to enable quieter, cooler, thinner system designs.
Power-Optimized 667 MHz System Bus	Utilizes Source-Synchronous Transfer (SST) of address and data enables improved performance transferring data at 4X bus clock. Advanced Gunning Transceiver Logic (AGTL+) signaling a variant of GTL+ signaling technology, delivering low power enhancements.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology Support	Multiple performance modes enable optimum performance at the lowest power, using real-time dynamic switching of the voltage and frequency between multiple performance modes based on CPU demand.
New Intel 65nm Process Technology	Smaller transistors enable more logic and more frequency headroom for increased performance.
