Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3Ghz LGA 775 Processor

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 LGA775, 3.0GHz Duo Core, 1333Mhz FSB 4MB Cache, 65nm

The E6850 boasts an impressive array of specs, the first and foremost of which is a 3.0 GHz clock rate providing an impressive amount of raw computing power. It also features a 1333 MHz front side bus, 4 MB L2 cache, 65 nm construction, support for both 64 bit operating systems and virtualization, add on to that buffer over flow protection and that is one impressive looking processor, or so someone told you. Yes those specs are really good, but what do they mean in practicality?

Essentially what those specs mean to the average user, is that the processor will act like less of a bottle neck in terms of computing operations. The front side bus and the clock rate allow for data to get sent to and from the processor at rates fast enough to keep the processor busy and not waiting for the data rate to catch up to it. This means even under a heavy workload you will still be enjoying using your computer rather than wanting to throw it out the window.
