First the Tick, Now the Tock: Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem)

申し訳ありませんが、この PDF はダウンロード形式でのみご提供しています。

Intel Core microarchitecture (Penryn) family of processors—the blistering performance and energy efficiency of Intel® microprocessors have delivered unprecedented capabilities to computer users. Now Intel® microarchitecture code name Nehalem (the foundation of the Intel® Xeon® processor 3500 and 5500 series) builds on these earlier microarchitectural marvels, rewriting the book on processor scalability, performance, and energy efficiency.
The first chapter is all about scalability. Intel® microarchitecture code name Nehalem is a dynamically scalable and design-scalable microarchitecture. At runtime, it dynamically manages cores, threads, cache, interfaces, and power to deliver outstanding energy efficiency and performance on demand. At design time, it scales easily, enabling Intel to provide versions optimized for each server, desktop, and notebook market. Intel will deliver versions differing in the number of cores, caches, interconnect capability, and memory controller capability, as well as in the inclusion of an integrated graphics controller. This allows Intel to deliver a wide range of price, performance, and energy efficiency targets for servers, workstations, desktops, and laptops.
Introducing a New Dynamically and Design-Scalable Microarchitecture that Rewrites the Book on Energy Efficiency and Performance Since the introduction of Intel® Core™ microarchitecture in 2006 and its 2007 45nm enhancements—the Intel Core microarchitecture (Penryn) family of processors—the blistering performance and energy efficiency of Intel® microprocessors have delivered unprecedented capabilities to computer users. Now Intel® microarchitecture code name Nehalem (the foundation of the Intel® Xeon® processor 3500 and 5500 series) builds on these earlier microarchitectural marvels, rewriting the book on processor scalability, performance, and energy efficiency.
