Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition Processor BX80601975
Check out the most significant architectural change in the x86
architecture in 13 years, the Intel Core i7. Intel has completely
reinvented their CPU design, removing the antiquated Front Side Bus and
replacing it with the new Intel QuickPath Interconnect, delivering up
to 6.4 GT/s. Also new to the Core i7 line is the integrated memory
controller, supporting Triple Channel DDR3 Memory allowing for more
maximum memory, up to 24GB on some boards, and faster access times.
Located directly on the CPU die is 256KB per core of L2 cache and 8MB
L3 cache shared across all four cores means the CPU can do more without
having to access the main memory, further increasing performance.
The Intel Core i7 processor is the latest in cutting edge processor
technology for the desktop PC. Based on the new Intel Nehalem
microarchitecture, the Intel Core i7 processor delivers four complete
execution cores within a single processor along with the rebirth of
Intel HyperThreading Technology, delivering unprecedented performance
and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business and
home use environments and the ability to simultaneously process up to 8
separate threads.
The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core i7 processor is made
possible by each of the four complete execution cores delivering the
full power of Intel Nehalem microarchitecture. More instructions can be
carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute
commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the
system faster. This quad-core, eight-thread processor represents
Intel’s continued leadership and drive of multi-core processing and
more parallel computing.
Doing More with Intel Quad-Core The Intel Core i7
processor is at the center of today’s most interactive and content rich
software experiences. The evolving set of threaded multi-media
applications, including digital content creation, will shine as users
are able to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater
visualization and realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence
(AI), physics, and rendering can be distributed across each of the four
complete execution cores and run in parallel.
