tasks in demanding multi-tasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded
applications. Whether you're creating multimedia, annihilating your gaming enemies,
or running compute-intensive applications at one time, new quad-core processing
will change the way you do everything. Pioneer the new world of quad-core and
unleash the power of multi-threading.
The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting
edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the new Intel® Core™
microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution
cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness
in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business and home use environments.
The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core 2 Quad processor
is made possible by each of the four complete execution cores delivering the
full power of Intel Core microarchitecture. More instructions can be carried
out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly,
and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. This quad-core
processor represents Intel’s continued leadership and drive of multi-core
processing and more parallel computing.
Doing More with Intel Quad-core
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is at the center of today’s most interactive
and content rich software experiences. The evolving set of threaded multi-media
applications, including digital content creation, will shine as users are able
to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater visualization and
realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering
can be distributed across each of the four complete execution cores and run
in parallel.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

Bought this last year, and ended up buying another and building a second PC for the house.
It works as it should, the wife and kids can cruise the web and do what they need to on theirs, and I FPS game on mine. I was looking at an AMD, but the price and performance on this chip I just couldn't pass up.
Great Deal

These things are fantastic. I've bought 3 so far and tagged them up each with various ASUS mobo's. They're running strong and easily OC with minor tweaking, even a beginner could do, up to 3.0GHz. I would definitely recommend this!

What can I say but get this if you want to upgrade your CPU. Why get a dual core if you can get this for a little extra. This CPU runs everything without even trying. Been running at 20% overclock for over 6 months now.

Excellent processor for the money and great on board cache. A real workhorse! I have this in 3 of my computers and I love its performance. With a good heatsink (like the butterfly from zerotherm) it runs very cool and overclocks well to about 10%. LOVE IT!
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
PLEASE
NOTE: We
only sell NEW processors purchased direct from the manufacturer or from factory
authorized distributors. We will never sell a "pull" (which is a CPU
removed from an assembled system at some manufacturing plant) or a used processor
as other online vendors do without telling you. We are the largest CPU reseller
in the Country, we offer the lowest prices in the industry on processors because
we deal in such great volume. If you are comparing our price against another
site with a much lower price, you are probably buying returns or pulls. Only
accept genuine quality, buy from Us.
VERY
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OUR RETURN POLICY ON CPU'S:
Please note that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange.
You must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the processor
in order to preserve your warranty or exchange privilege. We are not able to
accept returns for refunds on processors under any circumstances. All processors
will be inspected and tested upon return and any damage caused by poor packaging,
overclocking, or other tampering with the processor will be cause for the return
to be refused, and exchange denied.
