Thread: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200

Replacing the popular line of Core 2 Duo E4000, E7000 is called and is based on the new 45nm manufacturing company blue. Today we cover one of their most attractive models the E7200, which runs at 2.53 GHz and has 3MB of cache second level.

The E8000 and E7000 series of Intel processors come to replace the E6000 and E4000 respectively. In the comparison table below put face to face to see the differences between the lowest models in each series processor.

As can be seen in the comparison table there are many changes, where all these changes translate into better performance, lower voltages, lower temperatures and a long list of improvements.

One of the most important changes is the addition of 54 new set of instructions called SSE4 the new package of Intel SIMD instructions which is divided into 47 sub for SSE4.1 instructions that will be present in the current Penryn family and 7 for SSE4.2 instructions that will be added to the upcoming Nehalem architecture.

What caught our attention was that on the website of manufacturer Intel it appears that only supports DDR2 but in various forums, have been tested with the E7200 with DDR3 memory and apparently there is no problem.

The IHS has captured the initials ES Engineering Sample mean, which means it is an engineering sample so it does not come with your box or cooler. Further down the only thing that can be translated is where it says 3M which is the L2 cache has the E7200.

At the end is the batch, which is what I usually look to see if Newbie. As you can see this engineering sample is very different to a normal processor because it appears normal model, frequency FSB and L2 cache.
