About the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 CPU
The Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2009. It is part of Intel's Core 2 Quad lineup, which is based on the Yorkfield microarchitecture. The Quad Q8400 is compatible with Intel Socket 775 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 45 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Core 2 Quad Q8400 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 Quad Q8400 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 Quad Q8400 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 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 Quad Q8400 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
