Intel® Microarchitecture Codename Nehalem
Intel's latest-generation microarchitecture, first exemplified as the Intel® Core™ i7 processor,represents the next step in faster, multi-core technology thatintelligently maximized performance to match your workload. Designedfrom the ground up to take advantage of 45nm Hi-k next generation Intel® Core™ microarchitecture,Intel® microarchitecture codename Nehalem, unleashes parallelprocessing performance enabled by an integrated memory controller andIntel® QuickPath Technology providing high-speed interconnects perindependent processing core.
The next level of multi-core performance
Intel® microarchitecture codename Nehalem, offers the latest in processor innovation, including:
- Dynamic scalability, managed cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power for energy-efficient performance on-demand.
- Design and performance scalability for servers, workstations, notebooks, and desktops with support for 2-8+ cores and up to 16+ threads with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology), and scalable cache sizes, system interconnects, and integrated memory controllers.
- Intelligent performance on-demand with Intel® Turbo Boost Technologytaking advantage of the processor's power and thermal headroom. Thisenables increased performance of both multi-threaded andsingle-threaded workloads.
- Increased performance on highly-threaded applicationswith Intel HT Technology, bringing high-performance applications intomainstream computing with 1-16+ threads optimized for new generation multi-core processor architecture.
- Scalable shared memoryfeatures memory distributed to each processor with integrated memorycontrollers and Intel QuickPath Technology high-speed point-to-pointinterconnects to unleash the performance of future versions ofnext-generation Intel® multi-core processors.
- Multi-level shared cache improves performance and efficiency by reducing latency to frequently used data
