Intel Details Upcoming New Processor Generations
ByProvide proper identification, the next step in the tick "Intel-tock" product strategy and cadence to a new process technology with an enhanced microarchitecture or entirely new microarchitecture every year, Intel Corporation will begin producing the next generation of family Penryn processors in the second half of this year. These new processors benefit from enhancements to Intel ® Core ™ microarchitecture and also Intel's industry leading 45nm Hi-k process with its hafnium-based high-K + metal gate transistor design, which results in higher performance and more energy efficient processors.
Intel has more than 15 45nm Hi-k product designs in various stages of development and will have two manufacturing plants in 45 nm production by the end of this year, with four in production in the second half of 2008 to deliver tens of millions of these processors. Below are details of the Penryn processor family are many and an idea of some of the main features of the next generation of Intel processors, codenamed Nehalem.
FAMILY INNOVATIONS Penryn microarchitecture
Nehalem Microarchitecture
After Penryn and the 45nm silicon Hi-k technology introduction comes Intel's next, generation microarchitecture (Nehalem) scheduled for first production in 2008. In the continuing rapid pace of innovation in this great achievement and Intel will deliver increased energy efficiency year with more features and capabilities for new and improved. Here are some new details about our first Nehalem microarchitecture:
