Features

• Intel® Dual-Core Processing
  Runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency. Features 1 MB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus.
• Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
  Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
  
• Intel® Smart Memory Access
  Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution. A newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-.ight
  instructions have to wait for data. New pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These functions keep the pipeline full, improving instruction throughput and performance.
• Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
  The shared L2 cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This ef.cient, dual-core optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from the fast L2 cache, signi.cantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
• Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost
  Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to signi.cantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including video, audio, image and photo processing, multimedia, encryption, .nancial, engineering, and scienti.c applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are now issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, effectively doubling execution speed on a per clock basis over previous generation processors.
  
• Intel Designed Thermal Solution for Boxed Processors
  Includes a 4-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance3. Fan speed control technology is based on actual CPU temperature and power usage.

This processor is fast!!!. You don’t even need to overclock it. I did just to see, I got it at 3ghz and its great. No lag on any games. Runs pretty cool as well. Don’t let the cache fool you.
