So umm.. what does the "E" stand for?

Careface said:

I mean, the Q clearly stands for Quad, X stands for Xtreme.. but wtf does the E stand for in Intel CPUs? I dont own any Intel CPU, Ive just been meaning to ask for ages

I can say "I have a Quad 6600" and thats fine, I can say "I have an Xtreme 6600" and thats fine.. but "I have .. umm, and Eee 6600" just sounds weird to me would be good to put a name to the face, so to speak.

Yeah, stupid question I know, but this is like my only post in the Intel forums in like.. 1.5years+

Holy anus that was a quick reply haha. Hmm, fair enough. I wiki'd it and couldnt find anything.. I was also wondering what the "T" in mobile processors could be.. [found in] T[iny portable machines] or something.. Man, its 4:54am. Just got home from work. Shattered. Uni in the morning..

But fair enough, E = dual core ;D thanks for the quick reply

EDIT: haha. "I have an Ewww6600". I would so buy one for the novelty of saying it
