Product Description

The Intel Core 2 Duo processors are built in several of the world's most advanced, high-volume output manufacturing facilities using Intel's leading silicon process technology. The processor family is based on the revolutionary Intel Core microarchitecture, designed to provide powerful yet energy-efficient performance. With the power of dual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numerous tasks faster. They also can operate more smoothly when multiple applications are running, such as writing e-mails while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan.a virus scan.

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor Product Highlight
Built around Intel's highly efficient Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor delivers robust performance for mainstream home and business software applications. With two complete computing "brains" on one physical processor, this dual-core processor delivers more performance with greater energy efficiency than older single-core processors. For computer users, this means doing more simultaneously with less slowdown and hesitation.Intel Technology
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution. Enables the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle for shorter execution times and improved energy efficiency—accomplish more simultaneously and with greater efficiency.

Intel® Intelligent Power Capability. Turning off portions of the processor when they aren't being used improves overall energy efficiency and reduces heat production, resulting in a quieter, more energy efficient system.

Intel® Smart Memory Access. Increasing available data bandwidth means more multitasking with less slowdown—run more demanding applications simultaneously and accomplish more in less time.

Intel® Advanced Smart Cache. Placing data closer to the processing cores improves platform responsiveness and performance with a wide range of applications.

Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost. Accelerates performance with a wide range of applications, including video, gaming, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications.

Performance for Multitasking
With two powerful and highly efficient processing cores, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor frees you to run multiple software applications at the same time without compromising performance or responsiveness. Everything including email, downloading, online shopping, and video editing can be done simultaneously and with greater efficiency. No longer is it necessary to choose between work and play.

Energy Efficiency
When working or playing hard, you want to keep distractions to a minimum. Intel Core 2 Duo processors deliver—consuming less energy and producing less heat than other dual-core alternatives. Desktop PCs featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo processor run more efficiently and require less cooling, meaning fewer fans and a quieter PC. And with energy-saving features that shut down portions of the processor when they are not in use, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor is easier on your energy bill and the environment.

Customer Reviews

Great processor!
This processor just arrived from Intel and it is fantastic. Intel recently had a round of price drops on their new line of processor's. At 2.66ghz per core, you can do multiple things without lag. This processor was one of the first to introduce the new 1333 front side bus as well. Highly recommend if you are looking to build your own computer. Stay away from the 6600 and the 6700, they are older models and the new 6*50 models are the one's that you want because the price is cheaper and they have a faster front side bus.

Was The Best CPU
E6750 was the best Intel CPU with terrific price/performance ratio. It outperforms the infamous E6600 and easily outshines Q6600 in gaming area.
With Intel's aggressive marketing plan this year, E6750 is replaced by its own brother E8400.

E8400, code name Wolfdale, is a 45nm Core product. Several tests have already revealed that E8400 performs better, consume less power and is way cooler. (good for overclocking.) I fully understand this review is about E6750 not about promoting E8400. However, when you look at the price, you have to compare them together.

As of today, you can get E6750 retail box for $187 from Amazon. Surprisingly, add two dollars more, you can get a retail boxed E8400 (before tax though.)

What it means is you're no longer paying less money for the best performance if you choose E6750. This might upset E6750 die hard fans but technology is a cruel world. And you definitely don't want to end up paying older technology with the same money you can get a newer one.

One last thing. Many people are wondering E6750 vs. Q6600. Here's how to make your choice.
If you're a gamer, do NOT touch Q6600. You won't see any gain for those dollars you invested. In reality, you might experience performance loss.

If you're doing a lot video/movie editing, you might want go extra miles to acquire Q6600. In this case, you will feel great for the extra $80 you invested.

Intel is back. Did you ever have a doubt?
After a brief stint playing second fiddle to AMD, Intel is back on top with its new line of Core 2 multiple core processors. Not going to say much that hasn't already been stated so this review will be short.

This particular processor is awesome! I selected it at the time over the quad core simply because of power consumption of being 65nm. I run my computer 24/7 and didn't really want to pay the added cost for the Quad. I'll reconsider when desktop versions of the 45nm core come out.

Back to the processor, I highly recommend it. If you want to run it at the stock speed, the processor performs well. If you want to overclock it for more performance, then this thing screams! (Relatively speaking of course)
