Introducing the 45nm Next-Generation Intel Core Microarchitecture

Tags:
microprocessors

Overview In the second half of 2007, Intel started producing of the next-generation Intel Core2 processor family codenamed "Penryn." The Penryn processor family is based on industry-leading 45-nanometer (nm) High-k metal gate silicon technology and latest microarchitecture enhancements. This next evolution in Intel Core microarchitecture builds on the tremendous success of revolutionary microarchitecture and marks the next step in Intel's rapid cadence for delivering a new process technology with enhanced microarchitecture or an entirely new microarchitecture every year.

Glitch found in servers based on Intel Itanium 2

Hewlett-Packard, which co-developed the Itanium design and is building the processor family into its entire server line, said computer shipment plans aren't affected because it's screening affected systems before they ship.

Athlon: The beginning of the end

The 3200+ performance enhancements likely will represent a final high watermark for the original family of Athlon chips on desktops. The chip holds about a 15 per cent performance advantage over Intel's 3GHz Pentium 4 processor when the Pentium 4...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
