The T4300 Pentium Dual-Core is a mobile processor that is compatible with socket P motherboards. Several factors affect the speed of the T4300 processor including the size of its data caches, its instruction sets, its core clock frequency, bus speed and clock multiplier.
Core Clock
The T4300 has a maximum core clock frequency of 2100 megahertz. However, this processor also uses the Enhanced SpeedStep instruction set. This feature allows the processor to operate at slower speeds to conserve power when it is not operating at full capacity.
Cache
The T4300 has two data caches that store processor instructions and program data. It has an L1 cache that supports a pair of 32 kilobyte instruction caches and a pair of 32KB data caches. The L2 cache on the chip is a shared one megabyte cache.
Features
The T4300 has a bus speed of 800 megahertz. It comes with the EM64T instruction set which supports 64-bit processing. The T4300 has a clock multiplier of 10.5 which is used to determine the internal frequency of the processor.
