Intel "Penryn" Details

O dobro da performance per clock, no que diz respeito à SSE...tem que se lhe diga...:wow:

Daqui a pouco vamos ver um Core...a fazer 1000ppd/Ghz...

É bom demais para o Folding...se for realmente bom...não vou esperar pelo Nehalem. Mesmo :)
 
Pois mas acho que a Intel já deixou o caminho do fazer shrinks e aumentar clocks. Agora faz tudo como deve de ser
 
Nehalem:
Nehalem will no longer use a FSB but a serial point to point interconnect. Even more revolutionary is the fact that Nehalem will have an integrated memory controller (IMC) and that the number of serial interconnects is variable (Intel's version of "HyperTransport"). Another potentially groundbreaking move is that some Nehalem CPUs will have a GPU integrated (Intel's version of "Fusion"). With an integrated memory controller, new interconnect, and potentially integrated graphics, Nehalem will obviously require a new socket.
Graficas integradas no CPU... ui ui que la para 2008 a coisa vai mudar radicalemente.

destr0yer disse:
Parece que vai subir ainda mais a performence per clock

Tou a ver o K10 ter uma vida curta...

Se leres na parte da performance:
As percentagens de aumento de performance que falam são muito semelhantes as que a AMD fala que vai ter com os Barcelona, por isso acredito mais num taco-a-taco com o factor preço a ser muito decisivo
 
Eu fiquei muito impressionado com o que li.
Espero que a resposta da AMD seja à altura para termos competição. Apenas com um na mó de cima é mau para nós.
 
Intel Paints Nehalem Picture







Intel today revealed some details on their 45nm Nehalem processors but we will tell you more later about Nehalem-based desktop processors that is not discussed during the press briefing. Here's what we understand from the briefing :

1. Nehalem is on native 45nm Hi-K and is on track for 2008 release
2. 4-issue Core Architecture
3. On-die memory controller (DDR3 supported)
4. CSI or P2P serial interconnects
5. Simultaneous multi-threading (we told you before about MTT)
6. Highly scalable architecture (1 core/2 threads to 8+ cores/16+ threads)
7. Optional Integrated Graphics (probably on multi-chip package)
8. Multi-level shared cache (probably L2 shared and L3 shared)

Intel says Penryn will deal 45 percent speed boost

And opens up on Nehalem

INTEL SAID
today that it will deliver a speed boost of up to 45 percent when it delivers the Penryn shrink later this year.

On a conference call, Stephen Smith, Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group director, said that the company’s latest 45nm High-k process technology will help it achieve 20 percent faster transistor switching, clock speeds north of 3GHz and more instructions per clock for Penryn. As per Intel’s recent mantra, all of this will be delivered without breaking the current ceiling on power and thermals.


Penryn uses an enhanced version of the current Core microarchitecture, introducing SSE4, a new generation of Intel’s extensions that used to generate a joke about Screaming Cindy. Other additions include what Intel calls the “Radix-16 Divider” to accelerate mathematical and geometric calculations, faster virtualisation task switching and “deep power down” power management.


At the system level, Penryn will also be boosted by a new front-side bus that runs at 1600MHz rather than the current 1333MHz, and bigger caches -- 6MB for dual-cores and 12MB for quad-cores.


The improvements will feed into uniprocessor, dual-processor and multiprocessor Xeon dual-core and quad-core servers and workstations; a Core 2 dual-core and quad-core desktop, and a quad-core Core 2 Extreme Edition desktop; and a Core 2 dual-core mobile chip.


In terms of performance, Intel projects up to a 45 percent gain on workstation or high-performance computing “bandwidth-intensive applications”, up to 40 percent improved media application performance for tasks such as video encoding, and up to 20 percent faster gaming speeds.


Intel also previewed its next-gen microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem and due to go into chip production in 2008. The new news here was that Nehalem will support up to 16 or more threads and eight or more cores and that there will be support for optional integrated graphics.


However, Smith said that high-end users will still be using slot-in graphics cards.


One area still up in the air for Nehalem is memory support. Smith said buffered and unbuffered memory types will be supported for different usage needs.
