Inside the Nehalem: Intel's New Core i7 Microarchitecture

[news 28]

Intel shared more on the upcoming Intel Nehalem architecture last week at

IDF and we have detailed all the nuts and bolts for you here in an easy to

digest manner. Come in and see why Nehalem, with its on-die memory

controller, integrated power control logic and new Turbo Mode will make

whatever you have now obsolete.

Quote: "I mentioned before that Intel is using Nehalem to mark the return of

HyperThreading to its bag of weapons in the CPU battle; the process is

nearly identical to that of the older NetBurst processors and allows two

threads to run on a single CPU core. But SMT (simultaneous multi-threading)

or HyperThreading is also a key to keeping the 4-wide execution engine fed

with work and tasks to complete. With the larger caches and much higher

memory bandwidth that the chip provides this is a very important addition."

 

Thanks for a post!
