One area where the Houston Texans could stand to get better is in the passing game. Texans select QB Bryce Young, WR Quentin Johnston in latest Draft Wire first-round projections.



The integrated Enhanced Speedstep is able to downclock the core dynamically as low as 1200 MHz to save power (in idle mode). Due to the Wide Dynamic Execution Technology, the core is able to simultaneously execute up to four instructions. The P8600 uses a Penryn (Montevina Update) core that features 2 integer units, 1 floating point unit, 1 load unit, and 1 store unit in a 14-stages long pipeline. Compared to the fastest Turion II Ultra M640, the P8600 should be still faster. High end gamers should choose a higher clocked Dual Core instead (when using a high end GPU). Due to the smaller cache (Core 2 Duo T-Models got usually 6 MB at this clock rate), the TDP is only 25 Watt (instead of the 35 Watt of the T-models).ĭue to the relatively high clock speed, modern games (in 2009) should not be limited by the CPU speed (in conjunction with a middle class graphics card). It features 2.4 GHz and a shared level 2 cache of 3 MB. The Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 is a dual core processor for laptops.
