Disclaimers
Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate
features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:

64-bit computing on Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,
operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processor will not
operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will
vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See: http://www.intel.com/info/em64t
for more information.
Quad-Core, Six-Core, and Eight-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of
multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may
require appropriate operating system software for full benefits. Check with software provider to
determine suitability. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of
these technologies.
