About this product

Product Information

The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Dual-Core Wolfdale processor, with its base clock speed of 3.33 GHz, can breathe new life into any aging machine. Keeping the motherboard intact means that there is no need to replace RAM and other vital components with a massive selection of new parts. With its two-core design, this processor can help you run more programs simultaneously while experiencing less lag and slowdown. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 microprocessor is well-suited for mainstream tasks like gaming, video editing, and photo manipulation. It can also encode high-definition video faster than comparable single-core processors with lower specifications, thanks to the Intel HD boost technology. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 uses an LGA775 socket, so it is compatible with many different motherboards.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 microprocessor contains many enhanced features that optimize and improve your CPU. The Intel Thermal Monitoring technology keeps the temperature of the CPU stable, even when processing graphically intensive programs and applications or running numerous pieces of software simultaneously. A sensor on the die detects the core's temperature, and the chip's thermal management features keep the temperature within normal operating limits. The Intel SpeedStep technology monitors processing speed and adjusts accordingly through overclocking for a more stable and consistent performance. The Intel Wide Dynamic Execution technology increases the total amount of bandwidth so that the processor can run more tasks simultaneously. The Execute Disable Bit technology reduces your computer's exposure to viruses and malicious codes. Finally, the processor's virtualization ability enables several operating systems to run on the same machine without taking huge performance hits.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 microprocessor operates on a 64-bit instruction set. Based on the 45 nm core micro-architecture, this microprocessor is intended for mid-range users, so you'll get capable results and solid benchmarks. The 1333 MHz FSB, or front-side bus, architecture carries more data between the CPU and memory controller hub than comparable processors. The sizable 6MB L2 cache memory is useful too. Cache memory stores instructions that are frequently accessed, speeding up the operations of the processor. The advanced Intel smart technology improves the abilities of the processor by placing the cache much closer in proximity to the CPU. It ensures that data can be used as quickly as possible by minimizing latency and thus improving efficiency and speed.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 is also very energy efficient, which is a notable difference from single-core processors in the past. Intel's Intelligent Power Capability technology allows the microprocessor to turn off individual parts when they aren't in use. The result is improved performance with less power consumption and a reduction of heat and noise. The Core 2 Duo E8600 averages about 65 watts when operating at its base frequency with all cores active. The best way to speed up an aging machine, an Intel Core 2 E8600 3.33 GHz Dual-Core microprocessor is a reliable way to add efficiency and stability to a faithful home computer or workstation. Simply upgrading the number of cores will dramatically improve the overall performance of your CPU.

  • Nimble Core 2

    Purchased this processor with my Lady's computer in mind; she had an e5700 (3GHz) which just seemed sluggish. We simply opened the case, removed the heatsink/fan assembly, cleaned the old thermal paste from the cpu and heatsink, released the old cpu, installed the new cpu, added an 'X' of thermal paste to the heatsink surface of the cpu and bolted the heatsink/fan assembly back on. In fact, my Lady did all of this herself. Caveats: the BIOS of your computer must support the new cpu. Be careful removing the old cpu & placing the new one, that you do not mash or bend the tiny contacts on the cpu socket. It's also a good idea to clean the contact surfaces of the cpu and the heatsink with alcohol before applying the thermal paste. Just a tiny trail of thermal paste is all one needs in an 'X' shape with tiny dots of thermal paste between the arms of the 'X.' So, the process is simple; in our systems (Dell Insipron 530s) it gave a quick speed difference -- more than the 10 percent that would be expected; the system works harmoniously. It's a great way to keep an older computer working with newer software.

  • Reliable, stable high clock rate dual core CPU.

    Worked well in an older Dell Vostro200 MT non-FOXCOMM 33 MB system. It's the fastest CPU the non FOXCOM33 MB's will handle with latest BIOS installed. Runs both x64bit Win7 & Win10 OS's with ease. It's not a 4 or 6 core, but for the $$$ a great high clock rate dual core that brought that little Vostro back to life and usability. With a decent ATI HD 7550 video card, maxed out 4gb 800mhz memory and a 250GB SSD boot disk, it will play 1080p .MKV movies with ease and runs apps very well. It's not a good gamer, but it will play older games fairly well with the HD7550 video card.

  • One of the fastest CPU in this family

    The E8600 is one of the fastest model in this group. When you previously have one of the older and slower models running on your system, an upgrade like this takes your system to another level, especially if you don't have a dedicated GPU, and your graphics and OS run solely off your CPU. Just the increase in Cache (L2 and L3) makes a significant difference in performance. Note, your motherboard has to support this CPU for you to really enjoy it.

  • Surprised by satisfaction!

    I took the chance at buying and using a used Intel Core 2 Duo e8600 CPU. First it arrived sooner than the estimated date. Then it just booted right up. With installing new CPU's thats very satisfying. But with a used one thats really a great prize that it all went better than expected from start to finished. Nothing but positives for this.

  • Nice upgrade for an old PC

    I used this on an old Dell Inspiron 530S. I checked out Dell forums and found out that this processor was the fastest available for the motherboard. Swapped out the original E2200 for this 8600, and got 50% faster speeds over all. Bumped the memory from 3 to 8 GB, and it actually works great as a work station, and for last generation games.

  • E8600 wolfdale CPU

    I recommend this product highly, I have bought two so far and been well pleased. This CPU is the best two core LGA775 IMO the best stepping and highest speed. Came well packaged and supplied with grease and the price was modest. It has given my old socket 775 machines a new lease of life. Single core performance is as good as many modern CPU's and rates about 70% of the fastest you can get. Runs cool and just under 1.1 volt VID with no overclocking. The best bang per dollar out there, a lot of CPU for very little money. I have experimented with overclocking and it does live up to the reputation this CPU has. It does 4 GHz easily on air. If you are in the market for an upgrade cpu, this is the product I chose from the many suppliers

  • Sometimes, you just need what you need!

    I do quite a bit of computer repairs. When I get in a unit from a friend that wants their computer to run at it's peak ability, I'll do the research and install the fastest processor and maximum memory capacity. This particular unit at hand, E8600 was the top of the line for it's motherboard. It works well, friend and I both are happy campers!

  • Stable / Reliable upgrade

    I used this to upgrade an HTPC style computer that had an E6420 (2.13GHZ). The 1.2GHZ speed bump is noticeable and was totally worth getting this CPU.

  • E8600 - One of Intel's best!

    The blistering fast E8600 is the fastest Core 2 Duo ever widely released - has faster single core performance than a Core 2 Quad Q9650 making it great for Windows XP retro computers. Intel was firing on all cylinders when they released this excellent swansong for the Core 2 Duo legacy.
