CPU specifications

It is good to understand the specs of the cpu (central processing unit). If you are looking around for a cpu you might come across a description like this:

Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz LGA775
1333MHz FSB 4MB L2 cache Conroe 65nm

This description can be broken down into 10 discrete components:

Intel
Core2
Duo
E6750
2.66GHz
LGA775
1333MHz FSB
4MB L2 cache
Conroe
65nm

  2. Good. Can you explain what any of those specifications mean? Which ones do you think are important? Think about what each of them means and tell me what you think is important in a processor. Then let's try to figure out what "good" is.
