Intel Strikes started

There is no doubt that 2006 will be Intel a new beginning.
Having experienced several years of twists and turns of the highway can also return to peak, which is Intel, but Intel's processors have not been so looking forward to a long time; as the industry's first mobile dual-core processors and platforms Core (formerly code-named Yonah) and Intel Napa will shoulder the important task of counter AMD.
Have news that the second half of 2006, Intel's desktop processors will gradually adopt mobile processor architecture. Although not completely copied, but the Intel mobile processors get the experience no doubt is to be brought to the desktop processor sharing, and therefore the success of Core mobile processor is not just so simple, it should take too more.
Now appears, can not say that a substantial move up the Pentium 4 processor architecture design frequency of no value, but should be recognized that Intel's engineers too much emphasis on this point, while ignoring other more valuable use of technology: upgrade of nuclear inter-communication rate and should be more urgent to reduce some of the memory latency, processor core performance, after all, has far exceeded its system memory and peripheral devices with communication bandwidth between the actual growth.
Northwood remember it? Then comes to the GHz Intel ambitious high-frequency impact of "Great Leap Forward" era, a time designated for the processor to upgrade the tone - to enhance frequency, increasing the cache front-side bus frequency - the tone has been the years vary. And Prescott's more of a process improvement, from 130nm to 90nm technology, reducing production costs. Pentium 4 processor from birth to more than 5 years now, Intel's performance desktop processor by pulled up on the main frequency to increase, while the increase in frequency means higher energy consumption, this looks like a dead loop to bring a heavy burden on Intel, both research and development, or business.
Inertia of the past experience of success is too big, Intel will too, but the 64-bit on the lack of it seems like the right to speak to the chip giant's head with a brick, Intel has already begun to wake up.
Core progress
Core uses a 65nm process. Should thank the technology advances, Duo's Die size and the previous generation Centrino single-core processor Dothan went so far as the L2 cache is 2MB, but has been around for desktop dual-core Pentium D processors, not divided into two separate 1MB of cache, but for the two nuclear sharing. Which Core is not the simple sum of the two Dothan.
Intel released Core in the internal structure map, there are between two nuclear "Bus" connected, which means that Core 2 kernel without going through the data exchange between nuclear FSB, but rather to core same speed (GHz frequency volume level) to run, thereby reducing the delay, but "smart caching" is a word most frequently mentioned Intel, the so-called intelligence, is both the kernel cache can dynamically adjust the load assigned to each core size, the benefits are improve the cache utilization efficiency with reduced power consumption,'s sense.
A mobile platform with Intel than Sonoma, Napa platform processor FSB from 533MHz to upgrade to 667MHz, supports DDR2-533 memory from upgrading to DDR2-667, of course, and also more perfect with the bus.
Look perfect is not realistic. Compared with the Pentium 4 processor, Pentium M processor, the disadvantage is its video decompression, 3D multimedia performance floating-point operations (SIMD FP and FP performance) aspects. Therefore, follow-Core mobile processor wants even on the Pentium 4 "class to seize power grab", we must solve this problem.
This regard, there are some improvements Core. Now all three Core decoder can decode the SSE instruction; SSE/SSE2 operation can be called Core "Micro Ops Fusion" engine implementation, this is a bit like "multimedia co-processor inside the processor"; again Like the Core Prescott Pentium 4 supports SSE3 instructions as a. These are Intel so-called "Digital Media Boost" technology as part of, although there is not clear all of its features, but will no doubt enhance its future mobile processor, multimedia performance, thereby narrowing the distance with the NetBurst architecture.

Performance oriented
Dual-core for laptops mean? Means higher energy consumption. Thus, while paying attention to its performance, its power performance should be the most worthy of attention.
Whether future processor server, desktop or notebook computer, performance will be the first to be considered a problem.
Napa platform processor, chipset and wireless component modules have lower power consumption. Inside the processor in the Core, Intel uses advanced thermal management techniques. Each Core has a specific number of nuclear heat sensors that can more accurately control the temperature of the kernel, especially when the two nuclear alternation of the situation.
If everything goes smoothly, in the second half Merom (Yonah of the next version to support 64-bit technology) processor was born, we will see a more powerful mobile platform.
