Before entering on the details about the architectural features present on the Nehalem CPUs, let’s make a summary of the base elements that are common to the many different versions: server, desktop and notebook. It’s worth noticing how the new architecture engineering process used by Intel aims at obtaining CPUs that can be used in [...]
Intel previewed the new Intel Xeon Processor code named ‘Nehalem-EX’. The Nehalem-EX processor will feature up to eight cores inside a single chip supporting 16 threads and 24MB of cache. Nehalem-EX will also double the memory capacity with up to 16 memory slots per processor socket, and offer four high-bandwidth QuickPath Interconnect links. Nehalem-EX will [...]
Nehalem is the codename that indicates the new generation of Intel processors. The first Nehalem CPUs have the name of Core i7 and are destined to medium-high end desktop systems. With these next few articles, we will be going through the architectural characteristics on these processors, so we can better analyze the performance results for [...]
