Original 45nm Intel® Core™2 Processor Performance

CONCLUSION

The PenrynΔ family of processors brings record levels of performance to the end user through its larger cache, new microarchitectural features, new instructions, and enhanced power- and thermal-management schemes. These processors, manufactured on Intel's 45nm, Hi-k metal gate process technology, not only provide significant performance improvements over the previous-generation processors, but they also provide building blocks for software to be created to take advantage of this power and deliver new levels of functionality to end users.
