About the Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 CPU
The Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2007 with a suggested retail price of $163. It is part of Intel's Core 2 Duo lineup, which is based on the Conroe microarchitecture. The Duo E6550 is compatible with Intel Socket 775 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 65 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Core 2 Duo E6550 supports DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E6550 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core 2 Duo E6550 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.3 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core 2 Duo E6550 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 CPU
The Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2009. It is part of Intel's Core 2 Duo lineup, which is based on the Wolfdale microarchitecture. The Duo E7600 is compatible with Intel Socket 775 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 45 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Core 2 Duo E7600 supports DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E7600 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions.
