2C/2T · 17 W

The Intel Core 2 Duo SL9600 is a low-voltage, small-form-factor notebook processor from Intel's 45 nm "Penryn" generation, soldered down in a compact BGA956 package for thin-and-light business laptops. Released in early 2009, it is the fastest of the 17 W SL-series parts and keeps the full 6 MB L2 cache and 1066 MT/s front-side bus of the larger Penryn die.
