What Is Core 2 Duo T5800?

The Core 2 Duo T5800 is a dual-core processor that was invented by Intel. The T5800 is the second most powerful processor in the T5000 series of Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

History

Intel launched the Core 2 Duo T5800 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Specifications

The T5800 produces a maximum clock speed of 2 GHz and a front-side bus (FSB) speed of 800 MHz. It has a 2 MB L2 cache, and is built to support the PPGA478 socket type. The T5800 is a dual-core processor, meaning it contains two cores on one die. This allows for double the processing speed. The T5800 package (casing of the processor) has dimensions that measure 35 mm by 35 mm. Additionally, there are 291 million transistors on the processor's die.

Benefits

The Core 2 Duo T5800 has advanced technologies implemented in its design. For example, it is built on the Intel 64 architecture, allowing it to use 4 GB (or more) of memory when paired with software that has 64-bit support. The T5800 is also designed to take advantage of SpeedStep technology. SpeedStep allows for increased performance while conserving energy at the same time.
