Description
Intel has released a new Pentium Dual-core E5700 3.00GHZ LGA775 chip that features the Wolfdale core. This new core is designed to provide more power and features into the Pentium package, while also reducing power requirements to 65W. Additionally, the L2 cache has been bumped to 2MB and the Front Side Bus has been pushed to 800MHz. These enhancements work together to allow the processor to handle more instructions with more data per clock cycle.
With the Wolfdale core, Intel pours more power into the Pentium package. The 45nm manufacturing tech allows Intel to reduce power requirements to 65W. Lower power means less CPU heat, which translates to lower system heat and longer system life. They also pack more features into the chip.The L2 cache has been bumped to 2MB and the Front Side Bus has been pushed to 800MHz. They also boosted memory access and execution speed with Wide Dynamic Execution and Smart Memory Access. These technologies work together to let the processor handle more instructions with more data per clock cycle. You'd better watch out -- your enemies will be shooting back faster now!
