Back in March we had looked at the Intel Core 2 Duo T9300
mobile processor with its Penryn core and 6MB of shared L2 cache between
its two cores clocked at 2.50GHz. We were very pleased with the
performance of this mobile processor on Linux, which was found within a
Lenovo ThinkPad T61 notebook, and today we are looking at the Penryn's
desktop counterpart. Intel's Core 2 Duo "Wolfdale" E8000 series
processors were released earlier this year with 6MB of L2 cache, 45nm
manufacturing, a 1333MHz FSB, and support for SSE 4.1. The processor
from the Wolfdale series we are looking at today under Linux is the Core
2 Duo E8400.
