New Performance Architecture

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor

Dell Latitude E5500 and E5400 are equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo mobile technology, featuring the Intel GE45 Express chipset. You get powerful mobile dual-core processors with 3MB or 6MB Level 2 cache and up to 4GB* of 800MHz dual-channel DDR2 system memory*.

Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology provides a forward leap in wireless connectivity, battery life and performance. What’s more, thanks to halogen-free and lead-free manufacturing and a breakthrough 45nm design, users enjoy true energy efficiency. Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology helps meet Energy Star™ requirements without sacrificing performance.

Chipset and Memory

Intel® GE45 Express Chipset features:

•Support for up to 4GB* system memory and for dual memory channels and DDR2 800MHz memory*

•1066MHz front side bus

•Serial ATA hard drive support

•Up to 6 PCI express ports

•Small footprint (size)

Dual Channel DDR2 Memory*

DDR2 offers dual-channel capability for additional bandwidth and performance, reduced power consumption and scalability to help increase performance with processor and chipset bus architecture.

PCI-Express (PCI-E) Technology

Serial I/O and Graphics Interconnect provide high performance (up to 8GB/sec bandwidth) backwards compatibility with PCI implementation. PCI-Express is expected to keep pace with processor and I/O advances for the next 10 years or more, so it is designed to address your

technology for the foreseeable future.
