Intel Celeron G500 G530 Dual-core (2 Core) 2.40 GHz Processor - Retail Pack - 2 MB L3 Cache - 512 KB L2 Cache - 64-bit Processing - 32 nm - Socket H2 LGA-1155 - 65 W - 3 Year Warranty

Go beyond everyday computing with the Intel® Pentium® dual-core desktop processor. An increasing number of software applications are now designed for dual-core processors enabling the user to be more creative and productive in the home or the office. The need for security and virus protection often means running more than one application at a time and the Pentium dual-core processor has the power to run them simultaneously.

Features:

• ECC Memory Supported: ECC memory is a type of system memory that can detect and correct common kinds of internal data corruption. Note that ECC memory requires both processor and chipset support.
• Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x): Intel Virtualization Technology allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
• Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT): Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables, also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory-intensive virtualized applications. Extended Page Tables in Intel Virtualization Technology platforms reduce the memory and power overhead costs, and increase battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.
• Intel 64: Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4GB of both virtual and physical memory.
• Idle States: Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states.
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology: Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.
• Thermal Monitoring Technologies: Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption (and thereby temperature, when required) in order to remain within normal operating limits.
• Execute Disable Bit: Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks, and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.
