The Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2160 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in June 2007, at an MSRP of $84. It is part of the Pentium Dual-Core lineup, using the Allendale architecture with Socket 775. Pentium Dual-Core E2160 has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 1800 MHz. Intel is building the Pentium Dual-Core E2160 on a 65 nm production process using 105 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Pentium Dual-Core E2160, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Pentium Dual-Core E2160 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Pentium Dual-Core E2160 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability.
