Intel Core 2 Quad Low
Intel introduced earlier this week a few new microprocessors, which instead of following the path to search for more power, they focused on another point that is calling attention to manufacturers: a much lower consumption.
The curious thing about news is that this is the most powerful Intel Core 2 Quad low consumption, quad-core, 65-watt TDP-oriented work in domestic desktops. These 65 watts are a fairly significant reduction of 95 watts TDP of other Core 2 Quad from previous generations, and also put up with some dual-core CPUs, logically speaking from the standpoint of energy consumption.
There are three models launched the Core 2 Quad Q8200S, Q9400S and Q9550S at 2.33, 2.66 and 2.83 GHz respectively, with L2 cache of 4, 6 and 12 MB and maintaining the vast majority of features of their predecessors, at 45 nanometers and using the LGA775 socket.
All of these new Core 2 Quad low indicate that the previous generation of Core i7 is still a lot to prove. Let us not forget that they are targeted to a very demanding, and that a vast majority of consumers who follow a more conventional do not require as much power as exaggerated or consumption (the i7 around 130 watts TDP).
