Quad-Core delivers breakthrough performance
Quad-core processors from Intel deliver extraordinary performance. The presence of four cores per processor allows four execution threads to proceed at once, dramatically improving throughput and responsiveness for highly threaded applications.
The Intel® Core™ microarchitecture decreases system latency and supports substantial performance headroom for peak traffic periods, as well as scalability for the future by delivering nearly 5x performance per motherboard socket on some workloads.

Extraordinary performance gains are paired with energy efficiency
Get the performance gains of Intel® quad-core processors without compromising on energy efficiency. Quad-core processors operate in the same power envelope as their single-core and dual-core predecessors. That can enable increases of more than 4x the amount of work that can be accomplished per watt of power consumed.
