Core i7, Intel Processor Generation


Intel will launch the next generation processor in the beginning the latest in November 2008. Processor is the next generation of the former use of the processor core name, even if microarsitektur of Core and Core 2nd Before most people suspect that the Intel processor name, the name of the latest Core 3, but in reality, that after several months, officially called Intel Core i7.

This processor can also have a code or name Nehalem. We, as consumers in Indonesia are more difficult to identify the name of this new processor, unlike the Pentium legend, almost all people, if you want to buy, the computer will ask, "Pentium is not it?" The introduction of the Core and Core 2 processor is at the outset that it is already difficult enough, now switch to Core i7, of course, will be difficult again, but this is exactly a secret that Intel in branding their products.
What is so special about this Processor Core i7? What are the technology diusungnya? As a rule, Core i7 processor specification which differs from the processor - Intel processors, including:
- Have higher productivity and more efficient use of energy compared to previous generation processor.
- FSB (Front Side Bus) is replaced by QuickPath interface. Although this is only chipset that supports QuickPath interface, the processor, as Intel X58 chipset.
- Controller memory in the processor rather than a separate chip with this technology, the memory will be sent directly to the processor. It seems pretty impressed with Intel rival AMD, which has long been using this technology.
- Memory Support Three-Channel, each - each channel contains 2 memory slots, so that the amount set out in the slot on the motherboard, these processors have 6 slots. Of course, the storage capacity of disupport this processor is greater.
- CPU Core i7 is the only type of DDR memory support 3rd
- Core i7 single device: the core (core processor), memory controller (memory controller), and the cache is located in the die.
- With the new socket type B socket (Socket LGA 1366)

In addition to new things more, it turns out, the Core i7 processor technology in the reuse of old Intel Pentium, which are not included in the next generation of Intel Core, Hyper-Threading. With Hyper-Threading technology in the operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) as if - it will be Core 2 processor lipatnya times, for example: the operating system core processor Core i7 4 will investigate recognized up to 8 cores.
Nature of the Core i7 processor type Extreem Edition and normal, some of which are:
- Core i7 965 Extreme Edition, with time, 3,2 GHz, 8 MB L3 cache, 45 nm, Socket LGA 1366
- Core i7 940 with a clock 2,93 GHz, 8 MB L3 cache, 45 nm, Socket LGA 1366
- Core i7 920, watch a 2,66 GHz, 8 MB L3 cache, 45 nm, Socket LGA 1366
All the above are 4 processor cores (4-core processor), or often even a quad processor. For lower versions, such as Dual-Core Intel is not using official data.
