Four extremely powerful processor cores running at 2.83GHz, 12MB of cache, 1,333MHz bus speeds and the latest 45nm process technology. That's the short version of what makes this an astonishingly powerful processor. It is literally state of the art. As the first mainstream member of the 45nm Intel quad-core range, it's also reasonably affordable.

No disappointments

Granted, it will be joined by the even cheaper 2.66GHz Q9450 and 2.33GHz Q9300 models soon. But if you can stretch to the anticipated £250 price tag, you won't be disappointed.

Whatever you throw at it, whether it's the latest games or some heavy duty multi-tasking, it'll keep trucking. Even better, it boasts almost as much overclocking headroom as the more expensive QX6950 model.

Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.

The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.

CPU temperature

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550)

If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.

A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.

Performance

The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.

More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.

When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.

A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

L3 cache
