For the avid or casual gamer, physics, Artificial Intelligence (AI),
rendering, and general game play can all be improved while
maintaining frame rates, making games more immersive and
compelling. With unprecedented capabilities in four separate
processing cores, users can expect games to become even
more realistic in the future.
Multitasking Monster
The Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core processor is a multitasking
monster, so users can do more in less time. Significant improvements
in system responsiveness are possible because certain
tasks can be off-loaded to specific cores. Users can now take
on several tasks at the same time such as rendering a video,
playing a game, or working on basic productivity software
because additional processor resources are free to handle
other tasks.
