Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core2 Duo SU9600 processor, based on the Wolfdale (Penryn) architecture, was a well-thought-out development for mobile devices. We remember that this chip was manufactured in the energy-efficient 45 nm manufacturing process. This then-modern technology enabled truly good energy efficiency.

That was crucial for long battery life in portable computers. It found its fixed place especially in the emerging category of thin and light notebooks. Its two processing cores offered solid performance. It was ideally suited for everyday applications such as web browsing or office programs. The Intel Core2 Duo SU9600 always reliably mastered these tasks.

With its 3 MB Level 2 cache, it ensured a smooth flow of data. This contributed significantly to overall responsiveness. This processor set clear standards for compact yet powerful laptops. It delivered a balanced mix of needed computing power and high energy efficiency. Thus, it became a highly valued component for all those users who valued real mobility.

  • High energy efficiency
  • Ideal for mobile devices
  • Solid everyday performance
