Intel Pentium Dual-Core

Pentium Dual-Core brand refers to mainstream x86-architecture microprocessors from Intel. They are based on either 32-bit Yonah or (with a quite different microarchitectures) 64-bit Merom, Allendale, and more recently, with the launch of the model E5200, Wolfdale cores, targeted at mobile or desktop computer.

In terms of features, price and performance at a certain clock frequency, the Pentium Dual-Core Celeron processor is positioned at the top but under microprocessor Intel Core and Core 2. Pentium Dual-Core is also a very popular choice for overclocking, because it can provide optimal performance (when overclocked) at a low price.

Processor cores

In 2006, Intel announced a plan to re-retire from the Pentium brand, as the moniker of low cost Core architecture processors based on single-core Conroe-L, but with 1 MB of cache. Identification numbers for those planned Pentiums were similar to the sum of both Pentium Dual-Core CPU, but with a "1" digits, instead of "2", suggesting a single core functionality. A single-core Conroe-L with 1 MB of cache is considered not strong enough to distinguish the planned Pentiums from Celerons, so it was replaced by a dual-core CPU, adding "Dual-Core" to the name row. During 2009, Intel changed the name back from Pentium to Pentium Dual-Core in the publication. Some processors are sold under the name of both. For example, the series of ultra-low voltage SU2xxx is single-core Pentium processor.


Types of Processor Core

1. Yonah

The first processors using the brand of notebook computer appeared in early 2007. Those processors, named Pentium T2060, T2080, and T2130, [2] has a 32-bit derived from the Pentium M Yonah core, and very similar to Core Duo T2050 processor with the exception of having 1 MB of L2 cache instead of 2 MB. The three of them had a 533 MHz FSB connects the CPU with the memory. Intel developed the first processor using the brand of notebook computer appeared in early 2007.

The three of them had a 533 MHz FSB connects the CPU with the memory. Intel developed the Pentium Dual-Core at the request of the laptop manufacturers.

2. Allendale
Subsequently, on June 3, 2007, Intel released the desktop Pentium Dual-Core processor brand name known as Pentium E2140 and E2160. A Model E2180 was released later in September 2007. It supports Intel 64 extensions, based on newer, 64-bit with Allendale core Core microarchitecture. This is similar to Core 2 Duo E4300 processor with the exception of having 1 MB of L2 cache instead of 2 MB. Both have a 800 MHz FSB. They are targeting the budget market over the Intel Celeron (Conroe-L series single-core) processor is only 512 KB of L2 cache. Such a step marked a change in the Pentium brand, relegating it to the budget segment than its original position as a mainstream / Subsequently, on June 3, 2007, Intel released the desktop Pentium Dual-Core processor brand name known as Pentium E2140 and E2160.

Such a step marked a change in the Pentium brand, relegating it to the budget segment than its original position as a mainstream / premium brand. This CPU is overclocked.

3. Merom-2M
Mobile versions of processors Allendale, Merom-2M, also introduced in 2007, featuring a 1MB L2 cache, but only 533 MT / s FSB with the processor T23xx. Hour bus then increased to 667 MT / s with a Pentium processor T3xxx made from the same die.

4. Wolfdale-3M
45 nm E5200 models released by Intel on August 31, 2008, with 2MB L2 cache is larger for the series E21xx 65 nm and 2.5 GHz clock speed. The model is also highly overclocked E5200 processors, with some fans reached more than 6 GHz clock speed using liquid nitrogen cooling. E6500K boasts Intel released the model using this core.

The model is also highly overclocked E5200 processors, with some fans reached more than 6 GHz clock speed using liquid nitrogen cooling. E6500K boasts Intel released the model using this core. Features an open multiplier model, but currently only sold in China.

5. Penryn-3M
The Penryn core is the successor to Merom core and Intel's 45 nm mobile versions of their series Pentium Dual-Core microprocessors. FSB increased to from 667 MHz to 800 MHz and the voltage lowered. Intel released the first Penryn Core, Pentium T4200, in December 2008. In June 2009, Intel released the first single-core Pentium processors using the name, Consumers Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) Penryn core is called the Pentium SU2700. Intel has also changed the brand of all Pentium Dual-Core as the Pentium procesors. In September 2009, Intel introduced the Pentium series SU4000 SU2000 together with the Celeron and Core 2 Duo SU7000 series, a dual-core processor based on Penryn-3M CULV and use a 800 MHz FSB. SU4000 Pentium series has 2 MB of L2 cache but core Penryn is the successor to the Merom core and Intel's 45 nm mobile versions of their series Pentium Dual-Core microprocessors.

SU4000 Pentium series has 2 MB of L2 cache but otherwise is essentially identical to two other lines.

Termination
Pentium Dual-Core brand was discontinued in early 2009 and disappeared from all the online material on Intel's website, along with all the Mobile Pentium Dual-Core product information. The remainder Desktop Pentium Dual-Core E2000 and E5000 series processors have been rebranded as the Pentium. OEM E6000 series desktop and mobile Pentium SU2000 only and always called Pentium T4000 series. With the launch of 32 nm processors in the coming months, Intel will stop some of the Atom, Celeron, Pentium, Core 2, Core i7 and even models. Pentium E2200 and E2220 is scheduled to be discontinued Pentium Dual-Core brand was discontinued in early 2009 and disappeared from all the online material on Intel's website, along with all the Mobile Pentium Dual-Core product information.

Pentium E2200 and E2220 is scheduled to be discontinued in Q3 2009, and will be replaced by the E6000 series.

Comparison with the Pentium D
Although the use of the name Pentium, Pentium Dual-Core desktop is based on Core microarchitecture, which can be seen clearly when comparing the specs Pentium D, which is based on NetBurst microarchitecture was first introduced in Pentium 4. For example, the desktop Pentium Dual-Core has a 1 MB or 2 MB shared L2 cache while the Pentium D processor either 2 MB or 4 MB L2 cache, depending on the model. Additionally, the fastest-clocked Pentium D is clocked at 3.73 GHz while the fastest-clocked desktop Pentium Dual-Core is clocked at 2.93 GHz. But the main difference is the desktop Pentium Dual Core processors have a TDP of only 65 W while the Pentium D may have 95 W or 130 W TDP. Despite having a smaller L2 cache and slower clock speeds, Pentium Dual-Core has proven much faster than most Pentium D in a variety of CPU-intensive applications while providing decreased to 50% less heat.
