Processor Intel ® Core ™ i7
JOGJA: Intel Core i7 is the brand for Intel processors for the desktop using the latest micro-architecture Nehalem, which is intended to market of High End Desktop (HEDT). Core i7 has a slightly different architecture with a processor support, and using 45nm manufacturing.
Variants of this entry in the Nehalem micro-architecture family. Nehalem own family is the micro-processor architecture and the latest generation of Intel's revolutionary, the transistor using 45nm process and Hi-K metal-gate. Nehalem has many features that new and different when compared with the processor family-based Core micro-architecture (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad).
Ist
Chips based on Nehalem Core first this will go to the core processor market with additional labels "i7", and then to be equipped with the Intel Core name i7. The first member of the Core chip family will soon be marketed in the desktop market.
Features of the new processors based on Nehalem micro-architecture of this lainv 4 cores (Quad-core), 8-thread, simultaneous Multi-threading (Hyper-threading) Technology, three-level memory cache (64KB L1 Cache, 256KB L2 cache & 8MB Shared L3 Intel ® Smart Cache), Integrated Memory Controller, which supports up to 3-channel DDR3 memory 1066/1333MHz, 2-DIMM per channel, Intel ® Quick Path Interconnect technology, Intel Turbo boost Technology, and Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions (sse ) 4.2
This product is equipped with simultaneous Multi-threading (Hyper-threading) technology. SMT, or Hyper-threading technology is it allows each core processors based on Nehalem is to be able to process the 2-thread instruction at a time simultaneously. So can improve the performance of applications and multi-tasking
In addition, there is also Quick Path Interconnect, which is the interconnection between the processor technology with a chipset technology that replaces the Front Side Bus (FSB) used in the previous generation of Intel processors. QPI technology provides the speed and bandwidth connections that are far greater than the FSB technology.
Also be in the Intel ® Core ™ i7 is the Intel Turbo boost Technology. Intel Turbo boost Technology is the technology that automatically allows each core processors based on Nehalem on the clock to run higher than the specifications when you run the program single-threading applications so that the performance achieved as well as applications that have multithreading.
While the socket used on the Intel Core processor socket type i7 is LGA1366. While the chipset that supports the Intel Core processor i7 is the Intel chipset X58 Express chipset. Variant vendors that have been issued based motherboard chipset Intel X58 are among them Intel DX58SO, P6T Deluxe, P6T, GA-EX58 Extreme, Eclipse and X58 Series
The chassis on the market that can support the processor with a TDP 130Watt can also be used. Meanwhile, Power supply, which can be used for the 130W TDP processor with the Extreme edition) can also be used for the Intel Core processor i7 this. (harjo.com)
