Intel Core 2 Duo SP9400

2C/2T · 25 W

The Intel Core 2 Duo SP9400 is a medium-voltage, small-form-factor notebook processor from Intel's 45 nm "Penryn" generation, launched in July 2008. It uses the same compact BGA956 package as the 17 W SL series but runs at higher clocks inside a 25 W envelope, pairing the full 6 MB L2 cache with a 1066 MT/s front-side bus for compact high-performance laptops.

Notes: Not supported by Windows 11: version 24H2 and later require the POPCNT and SSE4.2 instructions, which Penryn (SSE4.1) does not have. Windows 10 runs, as do Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch Linux, which still target the baseline x86-64 (v1) ISA. Not a supported ChromeOS Flex platform.
