Alienware Announces Systems Featuring Dual-Core Intel Processors.MIAMI Miami, cities, United States Miami (mīăm`ē, –ə). 1 City (1990 pop. 358,548), seat of Dade co., SE Fla., on Biscayne Bay at the mouth of the Miami River; inc. 1896. -- New Multitasking multitasking Mode of computer operation in which the computer works on multiple tasks at the same time. A task is a computer program (or part of a program) that can be run as a separate entity. Performance Peak Achieved with the Dual-Core Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor Extreme Edition 840 and Intel(R) 955X Express Chipset Alienware(R), the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook, media center, and professional computing systems, announced that select Alienware systems will soon offer the dual-core Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor Extreme Edition 840 using the Intel 955X Express chipset. The Alienware Area-51(R) 5500 desktop, Area-51(R) ALX ALX Alexandria (Egyptian automobile license plate) ALX America's Learning Exchange ALX Alienware Luxury Experience (Alienware Corp. desktop, and MJ-12(R) 5500 workstation will come loaded with the highly advanced power of two execution cores on a single chip to deliver breakthrough performance for gaming, digital content, and other demanding applications. Alienware systems featuring the dual-core Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Edition Intel's first dual core 64-bit (Intel 64) Pentium CPU with Hyper-Threading. The first model, the Extreme Edition 840, was introduced in 2005 with a clock rate of 3.2 GHz. It is the same as the Pentium D with the inclusion of Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, which, combined, provides a 840 support Intel Hyper-Threading technology. This allows Alienware systems to offer advanced multitasking potential by supporting up to four threads and accommodating multiple applications running simultaneously, such as playing a game while also streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. in the background. Running at 3.2GHz, the Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840 provides Alienware systems with 2MB L2 cache (Level 2 cache) A memory bank built into the CPU chip, packaged within the same module or built on the motherboard. The L2 cache feeds the L1 cache, and its memory is slower than L1 memory. The L2 cache feeds the L1 cache, which feeds the processor. and 800 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. FSB (FrontSide Bus) See system bus. FSB - front side bus for faster information flow and great performance for data-intensive applications like gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering. Dual-core-processor powered Alienware systems will also deliver cutting-edge performance enhancements like dual-channel DDR-2 667 memory and innovative Intel(R) Matrix Storage Technology through the powerful Intel 955X Express chipset. Intel Matrix Storage Technology provides enhanced storage and safekeeping Safekeeping The storage of assets or other items of value in a protected area.
