Quad-core

Quad-core refers to a processor based on a single semiconductor has the same features four processor cores. In other words, the four physical processor cores integrated into a nucleus. Quad core and dual-core difference is that the multi-tasking, and four quad-core CPU to open the program to open four dual-core CPU than the process faster and play multi-core computing when making a large amount of data greater advantage (for example, the usual test of the multi-threaded floating point calculations). Introduction New York City in the United States a few days ago at the Intel spring analyst meeting, CEO Paul Otellini and his think tank, described in detail the chip giant's blueprint. In drastic cost-cutting among Intel, after tough business environment over the past few years, and now go all out to create a new situation with new technology. For example, can be used anywhere the numerous dual-core and quad-core processor, the debut of the advanced 45nm manufacturing process, and began an ambitious effort to promote the use of handheld Internet devices, and so on. Through detailed information on the Review Conference, we Jinqi from Intel's roadmap summarizes the most Zhongyao Aspect, combined with its senior managers' speech PowerPoints files to picture gallery in the form 向 show you the most worth noting that new technology . Web browsers for handheld chips Intel believes that the ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) will be the next great product, it is called the function cut-type equipment. However, UMPC is a really smart to enhance web browsing capabilities, or iPhone steroids. "The next few years, we will see the rise of mobile Internet devices," Otellini said, "They are now listed, but no scale."
 Intel has launched its first UMPC-class processor, the chip is called McCaslin. Interestingly, it is not being used in handheld browser, it is used in Apple TV. Applications for these handheld browser, Intel does put a more powerful chip Menlow, is expected to be the chip to be ready for the first half of 2008. And runs on Windows, McCaslin different, Intel said, Menlow will support both Windows and Linux. In Menlow, Intel plans to launch smaller, faster and lower power consumption of the processor. "This is just the beginning for us," Intel is responsible for super-mobility group general manager Anand Chandrasekhar said, "We use the Menlow platform, the basic technical elements in place, then, we have to be repeated design to reduce power consumption and improve performance. " More "core", more quad-core "Core" is what? In the "core" is what? For Intel, the term is ambiguous: Core (Core) the first letter is "c", referring to Intel's latest processor microarchitecture to provide processing power; lowercase letters of the nuclear (core) are also popular in the Intel because dual-core and quad-core processor component of Intel's most profitable chip. The product has been launched Intel has launched a number of quad-core desktop chips, as part of its Core 2 Quad and Extreme family of components. For servers, Intel in its 3500 and 7300 series low voltage delivered in less than nine quad-core processors with the Xeons.
 Analysts in the New Year event, Intel stressed that its core (Core) architecture as a whole, including dual-and quad-core chips, which specialize in more than four cores. Intel CEO Paul Otellini said: "We will gradually promote the use of our nuclear micro-architecture, in all market sectors, are top-down single-core, dual-and quad-core." Unique features Intel has a processor core is characterized as "wide dynamic execution" feature. More importantly, its operating power than the Pentium 4 Netburst architecture provides processing power is lower. "We look forward to the end of this year to adopt top-down one hundred percent core micro-architecture," Otellini said, "this year, we are very fast to replace all of the products, even penetration of the nuclear micro-architecture to the Pentium processor variant and Celeron processor field. This gives us the performance in every area of ​​leadership, and gives us a high degree of cost advantage. "
 However, it is clear ahead for Intel quad-core it will become increasingly important. In the second half of 2007 subject to release two new 45nm chip technology using Intel's new quad-core processors: Yorkfield for desktops and servers for the Harpertown.
