Die size: 82 mm2
Transistor Count: 230 million
Steppings: M0, R0
Models with a part number ending in "ML" instead of "M" support Intel VT-x
"Wolfdale" (45 nm, 1333 MT/s)
All models(except E8190) support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), iAMT2 (Intel Active Management Technology), Intel VT-x [a], Intel VT-d [b], Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
Die size: 107 mm2
Transistor Count: 410 million
Steppings: C0, E0
a Note: The E8190 and E8290 do not support Intel VT-d.
Note 2: E8700 is a rare example in Intel's history where a model was yanked from Intel ARK without a recall notice and after a SSPEC was assigned. Working examples were seen, believed to have been released to OEM, but none was offered in retail PCs.
See also: Versions of the same Wolfdale core in an LGA 771 are available under the Dual-Core Xeon brand.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Intel Core desktop processors” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6574285. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1066 and 1333.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
