Paul Otellini graduated from St. Ignatius College Preparatory. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of San Francisco. , president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Intel. "Not since Intel introduced the Pentium(R) processor has the industry seen the heart of the computer reinvented like this. The Core 2 Duo desktop processor is an energy-efficient marvel, packing 291 million transistors yet consuming 40 percent lower power, while delivering the performance needed for the applications of today and tomorrow."
The highly anticipated processor family already has very broad support with more than 550 customer system designs underway -- the most in Intel's history. Ultimately, tens of thousands of businesses will sell computers or components based on these processors.
The Intel Core The latest generation of the Intel x86 family of CPUs. Core supersedes the 13-year run of the Pentium, which was introduced in 1993. It essentially represents the ninth generation of the x86 architecture, the first chip appearing in the IBM PC in 1981. 2 Duo processors are built in several of the world's most advanced, high-volume output manufacturing facilities using Intel's leading 65-nanometer silicon process technology. The desktop PC version of the processors also provide up to a 40 percent increase in performance and are more than 40 percent more energy efficient versus Intel's previous best processor.

The Intel Core 2 Duo processor family consists of five desktop PC processors tailored for business, home, and enthusiast users, such as high-end gamers, and five mobile PC processors designed to fit the needs of a mobile lifestyle. Intel Core 2 Duo processor-based workstations will also deliver industry leading performance for such areas as design, content creation and technical computing.
The processor family is based on the revolutionary Intel(R) Core(TM) microarchitecture, designed to provide powerful yet energy-efficient performance. With the power of dual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numerous tasks faster. They also can operate more smoothly when multiple applications are running, such as writing e-mails while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan virus scan Informatics A computer program that can ID code–geek speak for computer program subroutines–often found in computer viruses. See Computer virus. . These dual-core chips also improve tasks, such as viewing and playing high-definition video This article is about high-definition video technology.

For compression and prerecorded media, see High-definition pre-recorded media and compression. , protecting the PC and its assets during e-commerce transactions, and enabling improved battery life for sleeker, lighter notebooks.
Consumers and businesses will have the option to purchase Intel Core 2 Duo processors as part of Intel's premier market-focused platforms, which are made up of Intel hardware and software technologies tailored to specific computing needs, including Intel(R) vPro(TM) technology for businesses, Intel(R) Centrino(R) Duo mobile technology for laptops, and Intel(R) Viiv(TM) technology for the home.
Many of the products will also offer a selection of Intel-designed and integrated technologies such as Intel(R) Virtualization Technology See VT. See also virtualization. and Intel(R) Active Management Technology that make the PC more secure and manageable. Also, support for 64-bit computing now expands to notebook PCs. The new processors can be paired with the Intel(R) 975X, 965, and Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express chipset family. The Intel 965 Express chipset includes the latest integrated graphics Refers to having the video display circuitry of a computer contained directly on the motherboard rather than on a separate plug-in card (the display adapter). Integrated graphics typically share memory with the CPU (see shared video memory) and provide a more economical alternative to the and Intel(R) Clear Video Technology. All these chipsets are Microsoft Windows See Windows.

Advanced Innovations
Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme processors include many advanced innovations, including:
--Intel(R) Wide Dynamic Execution -- Improves performance and efficiency as each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously using an efficient 14-stage pipeline.
--Intel(R) Smart Memory Access -- Improves system performance by hiding memory latency In computing, memory latency is the time between initiating a request for a byte or word in memory until it is retrieved. If the data is not in the processor's cache, it takes longer to obtain them, as the processor will have to communicate with the external memory cells. , thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
--Intel(R) Advanced Smart Cache -- Includes a shared L2 cache (Level 2 cache) A memory bank built into the CPU chip, packaged within the same module or built on the motherboard. The L2 cache feeds the L1 cache, and its memory is slower than L1 memory. The L2 cache feeds the L1 cache, which feeds the processor.

--Intel(R) Advanced Digital Media Boost -- Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
--Intel(R) 64 Technology -- This enhancement to Intel's 32-bit architecture supports 64-bit computing, including enabling the processor to access larger amounts of memory.
Mobile PC Processor Unique Features
Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors include many advanced innovations, including:
--Intel(R) Dynamic Power Coordination -- Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep(R) Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
--Intel(R) Dynamic Bus Parking -- Enables platform power savings and improved battery life by allowing the chipset to power down with the processor in low-frequency mode.
--Enhanced Intel(R) Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing -- Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU CPU
