Detailed Features
Features
Quad-Core Processor
Provides four complete execution cores in a single processor with 4MB of L2 cache and 1333 MHz Front Side Bus. Four dedicated, physical
threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance,
so end users can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance
across many types of applications and work loads.
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per
clock cycle. Each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions
simultaneously.
Intel® Smart Memory Access
Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate
out-of-order execution. A newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the
time in-flight instructions have to wait for data. New pre-fetch algorithms
move data from system memory into fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These
functions keep the pipeline full, improving instruction throughput and performance.
45nm versions further improve this feature, with more efficient methods of
loading and storing data in main memory.
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
Provides shared level 2 cache across each pair of cores that can be dynamically
allocated to each processor core, within the pair, based on workload. This
efficient implementation increases the probability that each core within the
pair can access data from fast L2 cache, significantly reducing latency to
frequently used data and improving performance.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost
Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to
significantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including
video, audio, and image processing, and multimedia, encryption, financial,
engineering, and scientific applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are
now issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle effectively doubling
their speed of execution on a per clock basis over previous generation processors.
45nm versions include a new Super Shuffle Engine, which improves existing
SSE instructions while enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction
set. SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high-definition
resolution, will see additional performance improvements.
Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS)
Provides for more efficient processor and platform thermal control improving
system acoustics. The DTS continuously measures the temperature at each processing
core. The ability to continuously measure and detect variations in processor
temperature enables system fans to spin only as fast as needed to cool the
system. The combination of these technologies can result in significantly
lower noise emissions from the PC.

I hesitated at first when I got this processor. I didnt think it would be that big of a stepup from my previous processor. I was suprised in how it ran once I installed it and it actually did more than what I expected. the lact of VT was not a big deal for me, but if you dont want to spend alot and have a good processor, you should go with this one.

If you want an easy setup, you'll hate putting in the fan. It fits in so tight that it left my motherboard warped, from the pressure at the four posts.
Best bang for the buck

I bought this processor about a year ago, and to this day it has performed admirably. It's still one of the most affordable quad-core CPU's with a 1333MHz FSB. Heat has never been a problem, as it runs at about 30C idle and about 45C-50C under stress (using a non-stock air-cooled CPU fan). While running games such as Borderlands, Far Cry 2 and Bioshock, there may be slight lag during loading screens, but nothing serious. Everyday tasks are a breeze. Now that Intel's i-series has come out, this processor may end up being outdated fairly quickly, but for now it provides a super-solid performance for a great price. Excellent for building a gaming PC on a budget.
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
