The Core2 Quad Q6600 is a type of computer processor that is associated with the Intel Core 2 Quad series of processors. A processor is the component in a computer that makes important decisions based on information received from other components.
History
Intel introduced the Q6600 to the public on January 8, 2007. Its initial price at launch was $851.
Specs
The Q6600 runs at a maximum processing frequency of 2400 MHz. The frequency is determined by multiplying the clock multiplier and the bus speed. The Q6600's bus speed utilizes a "Quad Data Rate" bus, allowing it to take its initial bus speed of 266 MHz and raise it to a maximum of 1066 MHz. Its clock multiplier is 9, a L2 cache size of 8 MB (two separate four MB caches, one per two cores), and it has a Socket 775 (LGA775) socket type. Additionally, the Q6600 is designed with quad-core technology, allowing for four separate cores to be used in one package.
Fun Fact
The Q6600 is one of 18 different types of Intel Core 2 Quad processors. It is the third slowest of the family in terms of processing speed, and it is the slowest (tied with two others) in bus speed.
