The new Intel-Core-2-Extreme Processor brings a new powerful experience for home computer users. Intel-Core-2-Extreme Processor (QX9770) is a Quad-Core processor with a 12 MB L2 Cache.
This amount of cache is too good for the home PC users. No matter what the demand is, this processor will give you the best ever experience. If you want to play today’s most power demanding games, or you want a processor for multi-tasking or for designing graphics etc, this is the processor to choose.
Cache of processor is many times faster than RAM, and RAM on the other hand is much faster than the hard disk.
When users do any work on their PC, there are many commands transferred to the processor. Processors store these commands and retrieve them from the cache, if it fails to find them in the cache, processor will then look for the commands in the RAM, if it does not find it there either, then it will look in the hard disk.
So if a processor fetches anything from the hard disk, then PC will be operating at the lowest possible speed.
So the more storage a processor cache has, the faster will be the performance of your PC. In the past, there used to be processors with L2 cache in KBs, these days, L2 cache comes in MBs: Intel-Core-2-Extreme Processor is loaded with a 12 MB L2 cache making it one of the fastest processors of current time.
There are many features in the new Intel-Core-2-Extreme Processor (QX9770). For example: Intel deep power down technology – Which is a feature that saves lot of power. This feature makes this processor less power consuming.
Another feature is, Intel wide dynamic execution – this is the real attraction for this processor. This feature makes this processor much faster.
What this feature does is that, it makes the processing faster by given more commands to the processor in per cycle. Processors operate on per cycle bases: it is like a bus carrying commands from users which travels to the processor. So in Intel-Core-2-Extreme Processor (QX9770), the bus carries much more commands compared to other processors without this feature.
