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.

The processors use a Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA6) package technology, and plugs into a 775-land surface mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket, referred to as the LGA775 socket.

The processor is based on 45 nm process technology. The processor features the Intel® Advanced Smart Cache, a shared multi-core optimized cache that significantly reduces latency to frequently used data. The processors feature 1600 MHz and 1333 MHz front side bus (FSB) frequencies.The processors also feature two independent but shared
12 MB of L2 cache (2x6M), two independent but shared 8 MB of L2 cache (2x4M), two independent but shared 6 MB of L2 cache (2x3M) or two independent but shared 4 MB of L2 caches (2x2M).

The processor's front side bus (FSB) uses a split-transaction, deferred reply protocol.
The FSB uses Source-Synchronous Transfer of address and data to improve
performance by transferring data four times per bus clock (4X data transfer rate).
Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver addresses two times per bus clock and is referred to as a "double-clocked" or 2X address bus. Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X address bus provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 12.4 GB/s.

The processor uses some of the infrastructure already enabled by 775_VR_CONFIG_05 platforms including heatsink, heatsink retention mechanism, and socket.
Manufacturability is a high priority; hence, mechanical assembly may be completed from the top of the baseboard and should not require any special tooling.
