The Intel® Core™ Duo processor breaks new ground. Its dual-core technology rewrites the rules of computing, delivering optimized power efficient computing and breakthrough dual-core performance with amazingly low power consumption. Intel Core Duo processor is available in Intel's premium laptop platform, Intel® Centrino® processor technology.¹ It can also be found in select Intel® Core™2 processor with Viiv™ technology-based systems.²
Features and benefits
Outstanding dual-core performance
With its two execution cores, the Intel Core Duo processor is optimized for multi-threaded applications and multitasking. You can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching programs - while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background.
Power efficiency
Demand for greater power efficiency in computing is on the rise from desktop to laptop PCs. With an Intel Core Duo processor, you get a balance of great dual-core computing capabilities and power savings. Its enhanced voltage efficiency supports cooler and quieter system designs as compared to traditional desktop and laptop PCs. And thanks to the innovative energy efficient technologies built-in, the Intel® Core™ Duo processor is able to transfer power only to those areas of the processor that need it, thereby enabling laptops to save power and desktops to have thinner, sleeker designs.
A vibrant media experience
The Intel Core Duo processor enables your Intel® Core™2 processor with Viiv™ technology and Intel® Centrino® processor technology multimedia experience to be all the more vibrant. Featuring Intel® Digital Media Boost, the Intel® Core™ Duo processor enables accelerating technologies for applications such as CAD tools, 3D and 2D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming. This is one of the key ingredients that help Intel® Core™2 processor with Viiv™ technology and Intel® Centrino® processor technology to give you a truly rich multimedia experience.
Smarter, more efficient designs
The Intel Core Duo processor features Intel® Smart Cache which helps deliver a smarter and more efficient cache and bus design to enable enhanced dual-core performance, and power savings.
An essential ingredient in Intel® Centrino® processor technology
The Intel® Core™ Duo processor is Intel's first mobile dual-core processor and a key component of the new Intel® Centrino® processor technology platform.

Our employees manufacture and test some of the most sophisticated products the world has ever seen. They also take their talent and dedication beyond Intel's walls into the community, where they are actively involved in education and civic programs.
Intel came to New Mexico in 1980, and began operations with fewer than 25 employees.
Intel New Mexico currently employs 3,300.
Intel is the largest private industrial employer in New Mexico.
Our site is the home of Fab 11X, which is amongst the most advanced microchip-making facilities in the world.
Fab 11X began production in October, 2002. Fab 11X is Intel's first high volume 300mm, or 12–inch, manufacturing facility. It is also Intel's first fully automated factory. Products will include the Intel® Pentium® 4 processors and other advanced chips. Fab 11X has been selected as a production site for Intel’s next generation 45 nm manufacturing processor to begin the second half of 2008.

The campus includes more than four million square feet of manufacturing facilities and office space.
The Intel NM site is the only Intel site to host a U.S. Presidential visit. In 2006, President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush held a round table discussion with Intel Board Chairman Craig Barrett and others, on increasing the quality of science and technology education for U.S. competitiveness.
Albuquerque, NM hosted the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). Intel ISEF is the world's largest pre-college science competition that provides an opportunity for the world's best young scientists and inventors to come together to share ideas, showcase cutting-edge science projects, and compete for USD 4 million in awards and scholarships.
Economic impact
Annual payroll of USD 300 million
Intel has a USD 1 billion annual impact on New Mexico's economy
Intel invested USD 2 billion dollars to expand the wafer fabrication facility
Employee involvement
In 2006, Intel New Mexico and its employees donated $3.1 million to the United Way of Central New Mexico.
