Intel® Dual-Core Technology

Intel® Dual-Core Technology
Designed from the ground up for revolutionary energy-efficient performance, Intel® dual-core processors enable exceptional productivity enhancing features and rich multimedia experiences. As the catalyst for new processor architecture design, Intel dual-core processors have become the standard for our desktop, mobile, and server platforms.
Do more at once than ever before with Intel inside

The Intel dual-core processor consists of two complete execution cores in one physical processor. Imagine that a dual-core processor is like a four-lane highway—it can handle up to twice as many cars as a two-lane road without making each car drive twice as fast.
Similarly, with an Intel dual-core processor, you can do more at once than ever before, without slowing down:
Boost multitasking power with improved performance for highly multithreaded and compute-intensive applications
Reduce costs and use less power with energy-efficient Intel dual-core processors built on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture
Enjoy flexibility and the performance to handle robust content creation or intense gaming with multimedia-enabling technologies built in
