Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), the world leader in the silicon technology is ready to release its new ‘Microarchitecture’ based processor. Watch your computer come to life with Intel Core i7 Processor – added in the first series of the new Nehalem (the company’s new upcoming microarchitecture) product group. As the Intel’s Core i7 Processor review, it is designed to support the high end computing systems, giving a stable configuration to your machine. In order to meet the thirst of eagerly awaited users over the globe, Intel has actually sent a pre-release version of the complete Core i7 processor to some of the selected review sites. As per the announcement by Intel Corporation, this desktop processor will be branded as ‘Intel Core processor’ and the first series of products in this new product family including an ‘Extreme Edition’ version will be given an identifier name ‘i7’ – so finally branded as ‘Intel Core i7 processor’.
The products of this new microarchitecture family are designed to provide great performance and energy to a level of high efficiency. This brand logo of Intel Core i7 Processor will be exclusively available for desktop PCs with high performance with a separate black logo for Intel’s ‘Extreme Edition’ that is of highest level. Intel will allot a processor model number in order to differentiate between the two chips. The Intel Core i7 processor will be integrated with a high end technology – Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, also called simultaneous multi-threading technology. This technology is capable enough to handle eight software ‘threads’ on four core processors. Integrated with a new processor, an advance CPU socket, a new memory architecture, new chipset, new motherboard and a new overclocking system, the Intel’s Core i7 processors is sure to bring revolution among the enthusiasts across the globe.
The underlying design of Intel Core i7 processor includes a four core design with separate dual QPI links and a large L3 cache compared to the rest of the chip. Now with this new Nehalem design, Intel can very easily develop its range of processors starting from 1 core to 8 cores, all depending on the application and the demands. The 8 core CPUs will be integrated in servers while the dual core machines will be introduced in the mobiles (only after the desktop introduction)
