Core 2 Processor Benchmarks
Sunday, July 16th, 2006Intel released those who’ve been testing the company’s Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme microprocessors from their NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) Thursday at 12:00 A.M in the morning. The result was a flurry of benchmarks on Friday.
Conroe is the codename of the processor. The brand names are Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme. Core 2 Duo, by the way, is also the brand name for the mobile version of the Core 2 processor, which is not due out until August. Both desktop and mobile Core 2 processors are part of Intel’s Core microarchitecture, which also includes the Xeon 5100 series, which went by the codename of Woodcrest.
The benchmark data that has been recently released is for the desktop Core 2 processor.
