Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

The Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 is a desktop processor from Intel's Core 2 generation, built on the Conroe architecture at a 65 nm process node. Released on 2007-06-30, it pairs two cores and two threads with a 2.67 GHz base clock and no boost capability. The database records no benchmark scores for this part, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0, with a percentile ranking of 50 against all CPUs in the dataset.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark array for the E6750 is empty. No measured scores exist in the database, and the average benchmark score is 0. The percentile field places this processor at the 50th mark, meaning it sits exactly at the median of all CPUs tracked. This is a positional statement based on the dataset's distribution, not on observed performance, since no workload scores were recorded. The absence of data makes quantitative comparison impossible; the only numerical anchor is the 50th percentile, which suggests a mid-pack standing. With a 2.67 GHz base clock, two cores, and two threads, the architectural facts imply performance typical of the Core 2 Duo generation, but the database does not substantiate this with scores. The 4 MB L2 cache and dual-channel memory bus are the memory-related factors that would influence real-world results, yet no benchmark confirms their impact here. The percentile value of 50 is the only performance-related number in the database. It is not derived from a benchmark run but is a categorical ranking. The average benchmark score of 0 reinforces the absence of measured data. In practical terms, the database offers no evidence of how the E6750 performs in any workload category. The 50th percentile is a neutral midpoint, indicating that half of the tracked CPUs rank above and half below, but without scores, this ranking cannot be tied to specific application performance. The 2.67 GHz clock and 4 MB L2 are the only specifications that hint at capability, and they are unverified by any recorded test.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The E6750 has two cores and two threads, with no simultaneous multithreading. Each core handles a single thread, so single-thread performance is determined entirely by the 2.67 GHz base clock and the Core 2 architecture's instruction efficiency. The 64 KB L1 cache and 4 MB L2 cache support both single- and multi-threaded execution, but the lack of a boost clock means the operating frequency is fixed. For single-threaded workloads, the 2.67 GHz clock is the sole frequency figure; there is no turbo or dynamic scaling. Multi-threaded workloads can engage both cores, but with only two threads, scaling is limited to two execution contexts. The database provides no scores to separate single-thread from multi-thread performance, so the analysis rests on the core/thread count and clock speed. The 2.67 GHz base clock is modest by later standards, but within the Core 2 generation it represents a mid-range frequency. The absence of a boost clock means no transient performance headroom; the CPU runs at a constant 2.67 GHz. The dual-channel memory bus can feed both cores with data, which matters for memory-sensitive workloads, but again, no benchmark data confirms this. The 64 KB L1 cache is split between cores, and the 4 MB L2 is shared, which affects how data flows between threads. With two threads, the CPU can execute two instructions per cycle across the cores, but no hyper-threading means each core has a single execution context. The base clock of 2.67 GHz is the maximum frequency as well, since no boost clock is listed. Single-threaded tasks see the full benefit of the 2.67 GHz clock and the 4 MB L2 cache, while multi-threaded tasks are capped by the two-thread limit and the shared cache.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field for the E6750 is empty. No rival names, scores, or delta percentages are recorded in the database. The only comparative figure available is the 50th percentile ranking against all CPUs. This places the E6750 at the median of the tracked processor population, meaning half of the CPUs in the dataset rank above it and half below. Without rival scores, there are no exact deltas to report. The comparison is therefore limited to the percentile field and the architectural specifications. The E6750's 2.67 GHz clock, 4 MB L2 cache, and dual-channel memory support are the facts that distinguish it, but no rival data exists to frame these against. In the absence of measured rivals, the E6750's position is defined solely by the 50th percentile, which is a neutral midpoint. The end-of-life production status and 2007-06-30 release date indicate it belongs to an older generation, but the database does not provide comparative scores for contemporaneous parts. The 50th percentile is a single data point; it does not convey how the E6750 stacks up against any specific competitor. The empty nearestRivals array means the database has no structured comparison to offer, and any attempt to infer relative performance would require inventing data, which is not available. The E6750 stands alone in the dataset with no rival anchors, so its mid-list percentile is the only positional signal.

Who Should Consider It

The E6750 targets the desktop market segment. Its integrated graphics come from the chipset on certain motherboards, not from the CPU itself, so a discrete graphics solution is implied for display output. The two cores and two threads at 2.67 GHz suit workloads that are lightly threaded and not dependent on high core counts. Office productivity, document editing, and web browsing are reasonable fits for a processor of this specification, given the era of its release. The 4 MB L2 cache helps with data reuse in moderately sized working sets. The dual-channel memory bus supports DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3 memory, offering flexibility in system memory selection. The 65 W TDP means the processor does not demand a high-end cooling solution, making it a candidate for compact or low-noise builds of its time. The locked multiplier prevents overclocking via the CPU ratio, though the 2.67 GHz base clock is fixed. The 50th percentile ranking suggests it is an average performer in the database's CPU population, so users with demanding creation workloads—such as video encoding or 3D rendering—would find the two-thread limit restrictive. The lack of a boost clock means no single-core headroom for bursty tasks. The 291 million transistor count on a 143 mm² die at 65 nm reflects the generation's design density. For workloads that fit within two threads and a 2.67 GHz clock, the E6750 is adequate; for anything more parallel, it would struggle. The chipset-based integrated graphics limit it to basic display tasks, so gamers or graphics professionals would need a separate GPU. The dual-channel memory support for three DDR generations gives builders a wide choice of memory modules, but the absence of ECC restricts use in error-sensitive environments. The end-of-life status means it is not a current purchase option, but for retro builds or legacy systems, the E6750's specifications are sufficient for light duty.

Power and Thermals

The E6750 has a TDP of 65 W. This is a modest power envelope for a desktop processor of its generation. The 65 nm process node, with 291 million transistors on a 143 mm² die, contributes to this thermal profile. A 65 W TDP implies that a standard air cooler of the period—an aluminum fin stack with a small fan—would be sufficient to maintain operating temperatures. The fixed 2.67 GHz clock, with no boost, means power draw is steady under load. The database does not provide wattage figures beyond the 65 W TDP, so no further thermal analysis is possible. The 65 nm process is older and less efficient than later nodes, but the 65 W rating keeps cooling requirements low. The absence of a boost clock also means there is no transient power spike from frequency ramping. For system builders, the 65 W TDP class indicates a low-to-mid-range cooling tier, compatible with compact cases and low-noise fans. The locked multiplier does not affect thermals, as the CPU runs at its stock 2.67 GHz. The 291 million transistors and 143 mm² die size are manufacturing characteristics that influence heat density, but the 65 W TDP is the governing figure for cooler selection. A basic air cooler is adequate; there is no need for liquid cooling or large tower heatsinks. The steady 2.67 GHz clock means thermal output is consistent, which simplifies cooling design. The 65 nm node's efficiency is lower than smaller processes, but the 65 W rating keeps the thermal load manageable.

Platform and Compatibility

The E6750 uses Intel Socket 775. Memory support includes DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3, running in dual-channel configuration. ECC memory is not supported. The PCIe interface is Gen 2, which provides connectivity for expansion cards of that generation. Integrated graphics are available only on certain motherboards as a chipset feature, so the CPU itself does not contain a GPU. The multiplier is locked, preventing ratio-based overclocking. The production status is end-of-life, and the release date is 2007-06-30. The launch MSRP is $183. The architecture is Core 2 with the Conroe codename. The foundry is Intel, and the process node is 65 nm. The 291 million transistors and 143 mm² die size are manufacturing characteristics. The memory bus is dual-channel, and there is no L3 cache; the L2 cache is 4 MB. The upgrade path from Socket 775 is limited to other LGA775 processors of the same generation, but the database does not list specific compatible parts. The end-of-life status means new units are not in production. The DDR1, DDR2, and DDR3 support is unusual in that it spans three memory generations, giving system builders flexibility in memory choice, though the dual-channel bus applies to all. PCIe Gen 2 is a single generation specification, and the chipset-based integrated graphics means a discrete GPU is recommended for any graphics workload. The locked multiplier and lack of a boost clock mean the CPU operates at a fixed 2.67 GHz, with no overclocking headroom via the ratio. The Socket 775 platform is a legacy interface, and the end-of-life status confirms that no new motherboards are being produced for it. The dual-channel memory bus supports up to three memory types, but the actual memory speed is not listed in the database, so the effective bandwidth is unknown. The absence of ECC memory support makes the E6750 unsuitable for server or workstation applications that require error correction. The 65 nm process and 291 million transistor count are fixed manufacturing facts, and the 143 mm² die size is a measure of the silicon area. The launch MSRP of $183 is the only pricing information available, and it reflects the product's original positioning. The platform's compatibility is defined by Socket 775, dual-channel memory, and PCIe Gen 2, with no further expansion details recorded.
