The Core 2 range has been highly successful for Intel, delivering unbeatable performance at a price many have been unable to refuse.
It was almost a year ago that the original Core 2 Duo line-up was released, consisting of the E6700, E6600, E6400 and E6300 processors. And now a year later, the “Allendale” dual-core 65nm processor series have been released featuring an (slower) 800MHz quad-pumped FSB with even more affordable prices.
The Allendale series is made up of the Core 2 Duo E4300 and E4400 processors. Of course, there are also quad-core Kentsfield core processors, such as the Core 2 Quad Q6600 and Q6700, as well as the Core 2 Extreme QX6800. What this means is that Intel has Core 2 processors ranging in price from $120 all through $1300.
