The processor also features Intel's Intelligent Power Capability, which allows it to turn off parts of itself when it isn't in use. The result is improved performance with less energy wastage and a reduction of heat and noise, making the processor easier on your wallet and easier on the environment. Intel has packed the Core 2 Duo E8600 with cutting-edge technologies for better performance. Wide Dynamic Execution allows the processor to do more tasks simultaneously by enabling the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle, while Advanced Smart Cache technology improves performance by physically placing data closer to the processing cores. And Smart Memory Access, which increases available data bandwidth, means you'll experience less slowdown while multi-tasking, so you can get more done. Multimedia Acceleration for Faster Content Creation If you are editing HD video, manipulating professional grade photos, or working with music, the E8600 will let your computer keep up with your imagination. The processor features Intel's Advanced Digital Media Boost for accelerating performance of a wide range of applications including video, gaming, speech and image, and photo processing among others. Additionally, Intel's HD Boost technology further improves the performance of SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high definition. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 allows for a quieter, more energy-efficient PC while still maintaining a high level of performance. It it backed by a three-year warranty. ## Features - Intel Core 2 Duo - 1333MHz LGA775 Desktop Processor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Wattage | 45 watts | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 6 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 2 | | Processor Core Count | 2 | | Processor Count | 2 | | Processor Socket | LGA775 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Secondary Cache | 6 MB | | Processor Series | Intel Core 2 Duo | | Processor Speed | 3333 MHz | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU Manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU Socket:** LGA 775 - **Secondary Cache:** 6 MB - **Wattage:** 65 watts ## Images ![Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz 6M L2 Cache 1333MHz LGA775 Desktop Processor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613xx56sHRL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can i upgrade from E5700 lga775 45nm to this CPU i do not oc i just want it for speed increase** A: I'm not 100% sure, but I dont see why not as they're both LGA775 chips. **Q: is this compatible with dell inspiron 530s?** A: Yes, it is compatible with Dell 530s. However, you might need a different cooling fan for E8600. **Q: what is the fastest processor in the lga 775 socket family. i heard q9550?** A: The QX9650 was the fastest CPU for the LGA775 family. Almost same specs as the standard Q9650 (without the 'extreme' over-clocking). Both are LGA775 based. **Q: Is this CPU compatible with a Dell Optiplex 745? Currently installed is an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @1.86GHz 1.86GHz.** A: Although I do not know if the system you mentioned supports the CPU, your socket 775 motherboard should accept the CPU. Just one thing to keep in mind; after upgrading to this CPU I experience very serious memory error issues, reinstalled the OS several times and got to the point where I thought tge system was seroiusly and pernanently damaged when I found that I had a bad power supply. Turns out the CPU required more power than my crappy mini ATX supply could handle. Bought a 600 watt one ( which I keep outside the mini ATX case of course) and all problems where resolved. This CPU makes my HT computer feel like a brand new machine. Would highly recommend it, just nake sure your power supply can handle it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CPU upgrade for Inpsiron 530s *by J***Y on June 12, 2025* This is the best processor, and only processor available to use to to upgrade this particular desktop PC Inspiron 530s, it helped immensely with speed, performance, functionalitu, the price for the processor was a good value, and it has proven to be highly durable at every task I gave performed, even when placing my own version of a stress test on it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, Stable & Solid Performance *by R***. on February 21, 2010* Before buying the E8600 processor, I was torn between the E8400 (3.0Ghz), E8500 (3.16 Ghz) & E8600 (3.33 Ghz) processors. The 8600 is priced considerably higher than the 8400 and 8500 for only a minor boost in speed. Either processor will provide oustanding performance. In my case, I own a 680i SLI board that is not compatible with Yorkfield Quad Core processors. This Wolfdale 8600 is truly the maximum baseline performance processor that I can put into my system, so I felt I should go with the higher 3.33 Ghz for more "stable" overclocking potential.** Overclocking is generally not recommended due to the potential to damage the components; Safe overclocking is possible with the right hardware, the right expertise, the right voltages, the right cooling and the right guidance **If you do not overclock your PC, then the E8500 or E8400 will give you the most bang for your buck. If you DO overclock your PC, the E8500 or E8400 will still give you them most bang for your buck. Any of the these 3 processors will overclock nicely. For a little extra $$$, you can get this E8600 and have a higher "starting point" of 3.33 Ghz at 1333FSB. In my case, I run a 680i board with a maximum declared FSB of 1600Mhz. I also run 8 Gigs of Hyper X DDR2 at 800Mhz. Doing the Math, I found that I can adjust my FSB Overclock to a flat 400Mhz, giving me a resulting 1600FSB at a 1:1 Memory Ratio, giving me a Solid 4.0GHZ for CPU!!Here is the math in case you were wondering...- default settings = 333Mhz CPU X 10x Multiplier = 3.33Ghz..... 333Mhz X 4 (quad pumped FSB) = 1333Mhz- my Settings = 400Mhz CPU x 10x Multiplier = 4.0 Ghz..... 400Mhz X 4 (quad pumped FSB) = 1600MhzI have no intention to go beyond the 4.0Ghz specification, since 4Ghz is plenty fast for my needs. I have heard this can safely hit the 4.5Ghz mark, but I am not really tempted to go there. I use a coolermaster V8 cooler in my Antec 900 case (very very tight fit with some cutting!). I found that my idle Tjunction core0 and core1 temps idle at 40 degrees C, and my Tcase temps hover close to 30 degrees celcius using the speedfan application. I still need to test 100% loads, but so far at considerable loads the Tcase temp has not gone higher than 46 degrees.So, In Summary:Pros:- Fast baseline 3.33 Ghz clock- Cool Temps!- Higher base clock allows you to hit that 4Ghz mark with little overclocking effort- Low Voltage! Never goes above 1.32 volts even with overclocking to 4Ghz.- Scores 7.1 in Windows 7 experience index when at 4GhzCons:- Costs considerably more than e8500 and e8400 for only a minor boost in performanceSummary:If you are an enthusisast and own a 680i board, this is the best you can get with great overclockability. Otherwise, the E8500 and E8400 will be better choices for you at better prices. You will be happy with either of these processors, as long as you don't fry them :)Other thoughts: e8600 3.33 Ghz (running at 4Ghz), antec 900, 1000 BFG PSU, 8G HyperX PC26400 RAM, Dual 8800GTS 640MB GPU's in SLI, Coolermaster V8, Windows 7 64-bit Professional--- Update 1 Month Later ---I was able to load the CPU using my Coolermaster V8 cooler and the Intel Burn test Utility:IDLE> CPU Temp: 27C> Core 0: 40C> Core 1: 40CMAXIMUM LOAD @30 Mins using Intel BurnTest (max temps attained, not sustained temps)> CPU Temp: 62C> Core 0: 62C> Core 1: 63CCaution: Intel BurnTest really puts a load on your CPUTemperature Utility Used : Speedfan ; My Core0 and 1 temps are probably "stuck" at 40c on idle--- Still going strong! --- ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic CPU! *by L***X on October 23, 2015* I'm currently using this CPU on the computer I am writing this review on. It breathed new life into my old motherboard. Now I can actually play more modern games. Nice to be able to upgrade to a dual core processor for such a reasonable price. The chip came well packaged in nice anti-static packaging with foam to make sure it traveled safe. It came clear of heat sink compound and installed easily. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12744177-core-2-duo-e8600-3-33ghz-6m-l2-cache-1333mhz](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12744177-core-2-duo-e8600-3-33ghz-6m-l2-cache-1333mhz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
