Intel Core 2 Duo E6700

2C/2T · 65 W

The Core 2 Duo E6700 was the fastest Core 2 Duo in the original Conroe lineup that Intel launched on July 27, 2006, priced at $530, with only the Core 2 Extreme X6800 above it. Conroe replaced the NetBurst-based Pentium D with the far more efficient Core microarchitecture, and the E6700 combined two cores with 4 MB of shared L2 cache on a 1066 MT/s front-side bus for LGA 775 motherboards.

Notes
Windows 11 is out of reach: Conroe is far below the 8th-generation floor on Microsoft's supported-processor list and its platforms offer no TPM 2.0. Windows 10 and the mainstream Linux distributions still install, because they are built for the x86-64 baseline, but the CPU lacks SSE4.1, SSE4.2 and POPCNT, so any software that requires x86-64-v2 or newer will not run. ChromeOS Flex does not cover hardware of this era.
