MODEL- BX80553965
VENDOR- INTEL CORP. 


FEATURES- Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 965- Retail Boxed

3.73 GHz, 2 x 2MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, 775-land LGA Package, ATX

Thermal Solution. 65 nm Technology.

Increase Desktop Performance with Dual-Core, Four-Thread Technology!

This is a boxed processor with an unattached fan heatsink.

PC enthusiasts today want exceptional performance for video and 

audio encoding/decoding, digital media creation and multi-threaded 

gaming applications. Intel designed the most technologically 

advanced Pentium processor, the Intel Pentium Processor Extreme 

Edition 955, for users who expect more from their PC.

The Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 965 features a dual-core 

design providing two complete processor cores. Each runs at the 

same speed, in one physical package, to bring parallel computing 

capabilities to the desktop PC platform. With support for Hyper-

Threading Technology, each processor core functions as two logical 

processors, enabling four-thread functionality. This innovation 

takes processor design beyond frequency, delivering enhanced 

processor performance. The processor has the power to run multiple

demanding applications simultaneously with background tasks such as 

real-time computing security and system maintenance. Additionally, 

the Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 965 features Intel

Virtualization Technology enabling platforms to run multiple 

operating systems and/or applications in independent partitions or 

environments for improved security and remote manageability.

Experienced enthusiasts expect processor capability that goes beyond 

the specification limits. For added technical flexibility, the 

processor bus ratio locks (overspeed protection) have been removed 

from this Pentium Processor Extreme Edition.

Combine the Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 965 with the Intel

Desktop Board D975XBX based on the Intel 975X Express Chipset for 

maximum performance. Dual-channel DDR2 667 memory, multiple 

simultaneous PCI Express x16 graphics cards, Intel Matrix Storage 

Technology (RAID), 1394a, and Intel High Definition Audio with 

support for 7.1 surround sound combine to create a dynamic and

powerful system. With this next-generation PC, you have the

performance and features to accomplish more and enjoy an 

outstanding computing experience today with the ability to grow 

with tomorrows applications and operating systems.
* Dual-Core Processing 

Intel dual-core processors have two complete processor cores in one 

physical package running at the same frequency. The cores share the same 

interface with chipset and memory, but each core has its own set of 

registers and cache for truly parallel computing.
* Hyper-Threading (HT) 

HT Technology takes advantage of threaded applications by allowing each 

processor core to function as two logical processors to provide 

increased system responsiveness in multi-tasking environments. Threading

divides workloads into processes and software threads that can be 

independently scheduled and dispatched.
* Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)

Intel VT enables one hardware platform to function as multiple 

"virtual" platforms. For businesses, Intel VT Technology offers improved 

manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by 

isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, 

Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family 

members looking to use the same platform simultaneously.
* 2 x 2MB Level 2 Cache 

Each processor core is equipped with its own 2MB L2 cache (4MB total) 

enabling improved overall system performance by allowing each core to 

have faster access to larger amounts of the most often used data.
* 1066 MHz Front Side Bus 

Delivers exceptional system bandwidth for maximizing efficiency and 

improving system performance.
* Execute Disable Bit

When enabled with a supported operating system, the Execute Disable Bit 

allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable. If code 

attempts to run in non-executable memory, such as when malware exploits 

buffer overrun vulnerabilities, the processor raises an error to the 

operating system.
* Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)

Intel EM64T provides an enhancement to Intels 32-bit architecture by 

enabling the desktop processor platform to access larger amounts of 

memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, 

platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel EM64T can enable 

use of extended virtual and physical memory.
* Streaming SIMD Extensions 

Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) technology to accelerate 

performance on a wide variety of applications including multimedia, 

video and audio encoding/decoding, 3-D graphics and image processing.
