Intel AT80580PJ0674ML Processor Computer Component

The Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor Q8000 series are based on the Enhanced Intel® Core™ microarchitecture. The Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture combines the performance of previous generation Desktop products with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture to enable smaller, quieter systems. The Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor Q8000 series are 64-bit processors that maintains compatibility with IA-32 software.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies
Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits

Execute Disable Bit
Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.
