Alienware uses Intel® processors to provide the highest benchmarks imaginable. Intel incorporates dynamic new technologies such as Intel Smart Memory Access which fully utilizes available data bandwidth. When combined with Alienware's low latency memory choices, load wait times drop. Wide Dynamic Execution delivers more instructions each clock cycle, generating explosive execution times. Multitaskers can do more on their Area-51 than any other machine. Video, audio and photo processing is given a shot of adrenaline with Intel's Advanced Digital Media Boost.
Encryption and scientific and engineering programs also benefit from Media Boost's ability to double execution speeds for graphics applications. Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors up to 3.16GHz, quad core processors up to 2.83GHz and the unstoppable 3.2GHz Core 2 Extreme processor with a full 12MB cache and 1600MHz front side bus integrate flawlessly into the Area-51 for top speeds, enhanced power efficiency and a richer user experience.
