Proessor is an extremely important part of a computer, which serves as the brain of the computer. Without a computer's processor is a machine that can not do anything. Processor developments from year to year has increased so rapidly bahka pioneers such as Intel and AMD are always competing. Many histories experienced processor-Processor Intel before it becomes as good as now a Brain Computer processor now dubbed the world's fastest Core i7 processor and the fastest Corei & extreem.
Here is a processor-processor developments from year to year.
- In 1971, Intel issued a series MCS4 processor which is the forerunner of the i4040 processor. 4-bit processor is planned to be a brain calculator, in the same year (1971), intel make revisions to the i440. Originally commissioned by a Japanese company to manufacture calculators, it is much more powerful processor than expected so that Intel bought the rights to the Japanese company for the development and further research. This is where the embryo to progress towards a computer processor.
- In 1972 appeared the first 8 bits processor i8008, but somewhat less desirable because multivoltage, and new emerging processor i8080, here there are so triple voltage changes, use technology NMOS (PMOS no longer), and introduced the first time the system clock generator (use additional chips), packaged in 40 pins DIP Array. Then came 2 processor also: Motorola MC6800 -1974, -1976 Zilog Z80 (a two rivals), and other processor-processor 6500 series made in MOST, Rockwell, Hyundai, WDC, NCR, etc.. Z80 full compatible with the i8008 only until the machine language level. Language level assemblies are different (incompatible software level). I8080 processor is a processor internal registers 8-bit, 8-bit external bus and 20-bit memory addressing (can access 1 MB total memory), and operating mode REAL.
- In 1977 appeared 8085 processor type, clock generator onprocessor, embryo bakalnya use of single voltage +5 V (implementation until 486DX2, DX4 starting at +3.3 V, etc.).
- In 1978 appeared i8086 processor, this processor has registers 16-bit external data bus, 16-bit and 20-bit memory addressing. This processor is also equipped with HMOS technology, 16-bit bus supporting components are very rare, so the price is very expensive.
- To address the growing market demand, the issuing processor type Intel i8088 16bit internal bus, 8bit external bus. So the i8088 can use i8008 former 8bit peripheral components. IBM chose this chip to pebuatan IBM PC because it is cheaper than the i8086. If only the CEO of IBM PC when it is not expressed merely wishful thinking side, of course, IBM would dominate the total PC market today. IBM PC first release in August 1981 has 3 versions of the IBM PC, IBM PC-Jr and the IBM PC-XT (eXtended Technology). Chip i8088 is very popular, until NEC unveiled a chip that is built based on the specification pin chip, dubbed the V20 and V30. NEC V20 and V30 is compatible with Intel processors up to the assembly language level (software). 8088 and 8086 chip fully compatible with programs designed to chip 8080, although there may be some programs designed to not function on a chip 8086 8088 (bus width difference).
- In the next year issued a processor type Intel i80186 and i80188. Since the advent i80186 processor type, processor began packaged in PLCC, LCC and PGA 68 feet .. i80186 physically shaped by 17 feet square precision (PLCC / LCC) or 2 rows of foot-precision (PGA) and the start of this i80186 chip DMA and interrupt controller integrated into the processor. since using the 286, IBM uses the term IBM PC-AT (Advanced Technology) and has become a popular use of the term PersonalSystem (PS / 1). And also becoming known use 16 bit ISA slots were developed from 8-bit ISA slots, the cloner began popping crowded. There are AMD, Harris & MOS fully compatible with intel. In 286 it became known use of Virtual Adress Protected Mode which allows multitasking time sharing (via hardware resetting).
- Then to reach the lost momentum of the i8086 chip, Intel i80286, processor registers, 16-bit, 16-bit external bus, limited protected mode, known as the STANDARD mode using 24-bit memory addressing that can access up to 16 MB of memory . Chip 80 286 is of course fully compatible with 808x series chips before, with the addition of several new instruction set. Unfortunately, this chip has some bugs in its hardware design, thus failing to gather followers.
- In 1985, Intel launched a processor design an entirely new: i80386. A 32-bit processor, in the sense of register 32-bit external data bus, 32-bit, and maintain compatibility with the previous generation, in addition to the introduction of 32-BIT PROTECTED mode for 32-bit memory addressing, being able to access a maximum of 4 GB, and do not forget the extra few new instructions. Chip began packaged in a PGA (pin grid array). Intel processors up to this point has not been used internally FPU unit. To support FPU, Intel launched a series of 80 × 87. Since the 386 is starting to emerge cloner processor: AMD, Cyrix, NGen, IT, IIT, IBM (Blue Lightning) etc, various kinds:
1) i80386 DX (full 32 bit)
2) i80386 SX (cheap as external 16bit)
3) i80486 DX (int 487)
4) i80486 SX (487 disabled)
5) Cx486 DLC (using MB 386DX, others)
6) Cx486 SLC (using MB 386SX)
7) i80486DX2
8) i80486DX2 ODP
9) Cx486DLC2 (architecture MB 386)
10) Cx486SLC2 (architecture MB 386)
11) i80486DX4
12) i80486DX4 ODP
13) i80486SX2
14) 14.Pentium
15) Pentium ODP
- Around 1989 Intel launched i80486DX. Series which is very popular, increasing the series 80 386 series is the speed and support internal FPU clock multiplier scheme (series i486DX2 and iDX4), without additional new instructions. Due to public demand for cheaper processors, Intel launched the i80486SX series is none other than the circuit i80486DX processor FPU has been disabled. As it should be, i80486DX series has full compatibility with instruction set chip-chip series. AMD and Cyrix processor design then buy the i80386 and i80486DX to make Intel-compatible processors, and they proved to be very successful. My opinion is what is called the 'cloning', just like the story of the NEC V20 and V30. AMD and Cyrix not do vertical design process (based on an earlier series chips), but based on the design of an existing chip to create a chip that class.
- In 1993, Intel launched the Pentium processor. Improvements to the i80486: PGA structures larger (higher speeds, and pipelining, WITHOUT new instructions. Nothing special about this chip, just the fact that the standards are made for i80486 VLB not fit (it is not compatible) so chipset makers forced to redesign to support PCI. Intel Pentium for Meng used the term "drag" his rival. since Pentium is the cloner from "falling out" stay AMD, Cyrix. use the term Intel Pentium Intel lost in court because patents. reasons figures can not be patented , because it's Intel Pentium issued using TM. + AMD Cyrix did not want to fall behind, they are issued a standard Pentium Rating (PR) 92 intel previous year had collaborated degan Sun, but failed, and Intel was sued by Sun for allegedly copying the design of Sun. since Pentium, Intel has implemented Pipelining capabilities that usually there diprocessor cuman RISC (RISC spt SunSparc). Vesa Local Bus that 32bit is the development of ISA 16bit architecture uses a fixed clock because it has its own clock generator (typically> 33MHz) while the PCI architecture is the architecture that speeds clocknya follow Processor clock speeds (typically half the speed of the processor speed). Thus the VGA Card PCI relative velocity will not be the same at different frequencies MHz processor aka faster MHz processor, the faster PCI his
- In 1995, the emergence of the Pentium Pro. Innovation disatukannya memory cache into the processor socket demands made 8. Pin-pin processor is divided into 2 groups: 1 group for cache memory, and 1 group again for the processor itself, which is nothing more than a pin-pin Pentium changed its structure. The design of this processor enables higher efficiency when dealing with 32-bit instructions, but if there are 16-bit instructions appearing in the 32-bit instruction cycle, the processor will make emptying the cache so that the execution is slow. There's only one instruction is added: CMOV (Conditional Move).
- In 1996, the Pentium MMX. Actually, no more than a Pentium with additional units and additional instruction sets, ie MMX. Intel still has not given a clear definition of the term MMX. Multi Media Extension is a term used AMD. There is a limitation in the design of this chip: for MMX module simply just added into the design without redesign Pentium, Intel was forced to make the unit MMX and FPU do the sharing, in the sense of current active FPU MMX non-active, and vice versa. So the Pentium MMX mode is not compatible with the Pentium MMX. What about the AMD K5? AMD K5-PR75 is actually a 'clone' i80486DX internal speeds of 133MHz and 33MHz bus clock. Specs Pentium AMD gained when designing the next versions K5 and Cyrix when designing 6 × 86 is limited to the specifications of pin-pin Pentium. They were not given access to the original design. Even IBM can not afford to make Intel budge (Cyrix, IBM has a contract until the year tied with 2005). Regarding the design of AMD K6, K6 do you know that is actually owned by NexGen design? As Intel states making unit MMX, AMD MMX looking design and add it to the K6. Unfortunately, specifications are obtained MMX AMD Intel seems not used, because many ketidakkompatibilitas proved K6 has a Pentium MMX MMX instruction.
- In 1997, Intel launched the Pentium II, Pentium Pro with MMX technology that has two innovations: the memory cache does not become one with core processors such as the Pentium Pro, but outside the nucleus but function processor speed. Innovation is what causes the loss of deficiency Pentium Pro (problems emptying cache) second innovation, the SEC (Single Edge Cartidge), Why? Since we can put the Pentium Pro processor in slot SEC with the help of a special adapter. Addendum: since onprocessor L2 cache, the cache speed = speed of the processor, as PII its cache while on the "outside" (using the processor module), then the speed is half the processor speed. Mentioned also use the PII Slot 1 for several reasons:
1) Widen the data path (foot lots - Also an excuse Socket 8), processing in PPro and PII may parallel. Because it actually Slot 1 more powerless in Multithreading / Multiple Processor. (Unfortunately the O / S has not been a lot of support, dual PII benchmark processorpun by ZDBench more done via Win95 rather than via NT)
2) Allows upgrader Slot 1 without consuming much space on the motherboard because if not ZIF socket 9, can measuring Form Factor (MB) of his own concept of space saving since 8088 has also been there. Why come out well in the 286 SIMM specifications? Some of these places are efficiency and simplification of form.
3) Allows the use of more efficient cache module and a high speed balanced with speed processor and again without a lot of eating places, unlike AMD / Cyrix were "forced" to double its cache to rival speed L1 PII (due to its slow L2) so conclusions AMD K6 and Cyrix 6 × 86 is not fast but fast processor cache hit! Because the spec Socket7 L2 cache speed will be limited to only the data bus as fast / slow down when the data bus is busy, but next year is planned PII operates at 100MHz (instead of 66MHz again). Point is one of the reasons why the intel chipset change from 430 to 440, which means also have to replace the motherboard.
- On October 6, 1998, Intel Corporation released the fastest version of the dual processor Intel ® Pentium ® II Xeon ™ with speeds of 450 MHz, designed specifically for use on dual-processor (two-way) Workstations and servers. This new processor is expected to be able to build a solid belief that Pentium ® II Xeon ™ can be received in the market and can be used as the basis for all processors Workstation and Servers. Dual processor (Dual-processor/two-way) will make the users are not directly move to this new processor generation, this is due to the various problems that have been resolved by the quaint-processor processors such as Mission-Critical History. System vendors including Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, IBM, Intergraph, NEC, Siemens Nixdorf (SNI), TriStar and UMAX had planned to switch to a new processor that will supposedly take them to a higher level of data processing is amazing. "The development of Intel processor technology continues to drive the workings of the computer to a higher level, resulting in a very rapid expansion in the marketing sector on Workstations and Servers", explains Anand Chandrasekher, Intel ® Workstation Production Division. "A very encouraging sign for us when launching processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ to the market, many new customers are very interested in the architecture of this processor, therefore premiere Processor Xeon ™ Pentium ® II 450 MHz speeds, should be able to accelerate the trend development of a high-speed processor in the present ". As other family members of the Intel ® Inside microprocessor, the most prominent on the processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ 450 MHz is Chaches Level 2 (L2) is bigger, the speed of data processing, special handling on heat flow protection, ability Multiprosessing, and 100-MHz system bus. AGPset Intel ® 440GX for Workstations and servers with one or two processors can provide support up to 20-GB memory and AGP Graphics are smoother and more real. This processor also supports the development of Operating Systems such as Windows NT (New Technology) for Workstation, Windows NT Servers, Netware and UNIX. Processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ 450 MHz with 512 KB L2 cache for $ 824, around Rp. 5.768 million, - (exchange rate of Rp 7000, - per dollar); processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ 450 MHz four-lane (Four-way) if not prevented will be realized in early 1999.
- In 1999, Intel issued a processor of the type Intel ® Pentium ® III Processor. Pentium III Processor is a processor with an added 70 new instructions that dramatically enhance the ability of high-level imaging, three-dimensional, audio streaming, and video applications as well as voice recognition. Besides, in the same year Intel also issued processor type Intel ® Pentium ® III Xeon ®. Intel is re-penetrated market by issuing server and workstation Xeon Pentium III but the kind that has 70 SIMD commands. The advantages of this processor is that it can speed up the processing of information from the system bus to the processor, significantly boosting performance. This processor is also designed to integrate with other similar processors.
- In 2000, Intel issued a processor of the type Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Processor. Processor Intel Pentium IV is a product of the speed of the process is capable of penetrating up to 3.06 GHz speed. First time out this processor speed 1.5 GHz with 423 pin form factor, then change the form factor Intel processor Intel Pentium 4 into a pin 478 which starts from an Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz speed until the latest which is currently capable of penetrating speed of up to 3 , 4 GHz.
- On August 9, 2006, Intel Corporation launched the Intel Core 2 Duo processors aimed at desktop PCs and workstations and consumer and business laptops - the processor with the technology that can produce better performance, less power consumption, and flexibility for the use of its users. "Processor-Core 2 Duo processors are the best processors in the world," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. "The last time the industry saw the computer core is returned as this is when Intel introduced the Pentium processor. Core 2 Duo desktop processor contains 291 million transistors yet consuming 40 percent less power, while delivering the performance needed for the applications of today and tomorrow. "Processor family that has been waiting for has had broad support with more than 550 computer system designs underway - the most in Intel's history. In the end, tens of thousands of businesses will sell computers or components using the processors.
- Processor-Intel Core 2 Duo processors are built in several high-volume output manufacturing facilities using the world's most advanced silicon process technology from Intel's 64-nanometer. The desktop PC version of the processors also produce an increase in performance of up to 40 percent and 40 percent more energy efficient than Intel's previous best processor. According to multiple independent review organizations, the processors win more than nine out of 10 benchmarks the performance of servers, desktop PCs and PC gaming. Family Intel Core 2 Duo processors consist of a desktop PC made specifically for users of business, home, and enthusiast, as players high-end games, and five mobile PC processors designed to meet the needs of a mobile lifestyle . Various workstations using the Intel Core 2 Duo will also produce industry-leading performance in terms of design, content creation and technical computing. The processor family is based on the Intel Core micro architecture is revolutionary, designed to produce a powerful performance yet energy-efficient. With the power of dual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numerous tasks faster. These processors are also able to work without any problems when running more than one application, such as writing e-mails while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan. Chip-chip dual-core also improve tasks such as viewing and playing high-definition video, protecting the PC and its assets during e-commerce transactions, and enabling improved battery life for notebooks more sleek and lightweight.
- Consumers and businesses will have the option to buy up Intel Core 2 Duo as part of a focused platforms from Intel's main market, which consists of the technologies Intel hardware and software made specifically for specific computing needs, including Intel vPro technology for businesses, Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology for laptops, and Intel Viiv technology for home users. Processor-Intel Core 2 Duo processor has many advanced innovations, such as:
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution

Enhanced Intel Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing - Saves power by "draining" cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower processor voltages.
- In 2008, precisely on August 17, Intel issued a newest product processor type Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core. The newest product called Core 2 Extreme QX9300 processor with 45W TDP features and give special attention to the cooling or cooling system. The New Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 has a core clocked at 2.53GHz and carrying set FSB or Front Side Bus of 1066 and has a cache memory of 12MB. The launching quad-core processor is simply 2hari before IDF 2008 schedule begins. For the price, the new Core 2 Extreme provides a facility that is promising but relatively cheap price offered for the ability of an outstanding processor. The price for this mobile processor range from $ 1038 where the agreement Intel has done little to determine the price of this processor QX9300. By comparison, the Dual Core Mobile Chip with similar features that clock speed of 2.53GHz for $ 340, but her performance 3x slower than the QX9300. Of course if you want to match the QX9300 then users will pay a higher price. According to another source of Quad Core development team, the development will be carried out to explore the desktop market.
- Intel also released the other processor types, namely with the name Core 2 Quad Q8200. This processor has a core clock of 2.33GHz and is planned to be introduced in August, exactly on 31. This processor has a FSB or front side bus of 1333 and the 4MB cache memory. Based on information from the Intel, the prices for these processors is equal to $ 224, which is a definite price and the Intel has been producing thousands of units of this processor to be widely marketed. So the cheapest processor Q8200 is a quad core processor class that carries the line 45nm fabrication technology. Processor Q9300 with a core clock of 2.5GHz and 2.66GHz Processor Q9400 clocked marketed at a price of $ 266.
- Processor i3, i5, i7, and i9
Currently, the latest notebook using Intel processors have started using Intel Core i family. There is the so-called Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7. All three are the official successor of the Intel Core 2 line of processors (Core2 solo, Core2 Duo, Core2 Quad). Repair what is offered with a range of Core i this? We will try to explain as simply as possible about this new line of notebook processors.
Nehalem
All the processors Intel Core i built a name on the basis of the architecture, named Nehalem. Simply put, this new architecture offers higher performance with power consumption settings are much better. There are some things that are the hallmarks of the Nehalem architecture in general, when compared to the previous Core architecture.
Merging components
In Nehalem, there are some components that are combined into one in the processor. The most important thing is the incorporation of controller memory (RAM) into the processor. Previously, the controller is located outside the processor. With the inclusion of the memory controller into the processor, the speed of the flow of data between the processor and the memory becomes higher. At the Core i3 M, Core i5 M, and Core i7 M, Intel VGA even put it into the processor. This of course makes the ability VGA be better than previous onboard VGA.
Power efficiency, maximizing performance
At Core2 Duo (2 processors with core processor / 2 cores), if the processor speed is 3 GHz, that means two processor cores work with the speed of 3 GHz. When the processor rest, both will fall at the same speed as well. So, if there is software that can only use one core processor (eg, Apple itunes), the second processor core will work at top speed (3 GHz). The processor core works to process the data, while the other core bandwagon just upped the pace without processing the data.
In Nehalem, the conditions are different. For example, the Core i3 (2 core processor / 2 cores), the above conditions will only make one processor core to work and use the maximum speed. While one unused processor core stays at rest to conserve energy.
Hyper-threading (HT)
Did you know that a core processor is not always "employed" to the fullest? As an analogy, consider a processor with two cores (dual core) is a room with two people in it. By the time a person was asked to cook, her hands will work. However, this person is still able to receive calls while cooking, is not it?The same thing happened on the processor core. There are parts of the processor core is unused when an order was given to him. The cause is the order probably did not take advantage of certain parts of the processor. Then, how can we take advantage of the parts that are not working? Maximizing technology called Intel processors work with the name Hyper-threading (HT).
A processor core with HT technology will be recognized by the operating system (eg Windows 7) as a 2 core processor. So, Operating System can provide 2 work on a processor core. This makes Nehalem-based processors are able to work more optimally than its predecessor.
Turbo boost
This capability is a prime feature of most processors with Nehalem technology. The basic idea is Hugi (Hurry Up and Get Idle). The theory is that if a job is completed faster, the processor will be able to rest more quickly and save more energy.
In general, each processor has a maximum power consumption. Let us take the example Core i5 (2 core processor / core), which limits the range of power consumption is about 35 watts. If the VGA and memory controller on the Core i5-consuming 10 W and only 1 processor cores in use, consumption is only 22.5W, is not it? Then, how the processor can complete tasks faster, while the software does not use the second core available?
The remaining quota 12.5W power consumption can be used to perform Core i5 Turbo Boost. What happens is (the Core i5-430M, 2.2GHz), 1 core speed can be increased up to 2.53 GHz. This is done by utilizing the remaining rations and pay attention to the power consumption of the processor temperature. Thus, the processor will not exceed 35W power consumption, and will not overheat. Meanwhile, the software can get the job done faster.
Arrandale
What kind of name is this? This name we adopted to distinguish the Core i7 Core i7 QM with M, Core i5 and Core i3 M M. Currently, Core i7 Nehalem QM still using 45 nm technology. Although very powerful, the technology at the 45 nm Core i7 make it work a bit more heat. In addition, the Core i7 QM also has no VGA in its 4-core processor (quad core).
Arrandale is the code for Nehalem-based processors for notebooks using 32 nm technology and has a VGA integrated in the processor. Currently, the Arrandale core processor has only a maximum of 2 (dual core). However, performance is still high and the temperature tends to be cooler than his Core i7.
Processor Comparison
Here are more details about the description of these three products:
Intel Core i7
Core i7 processor itself is first with technology "Nehalem". Nehalem uses a new platform that really different from the previous generation. One is to integrate MCH chipset directly on the processor, not the motherboard. Nehalem also replace the function of the FSB to QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) is more revolutionary.
Intel Core i5
If Bloomfield is the codename for the Core i7 Lynnfield is the codename for the Core i5. Core i5 is the value of the Core i7 series that will run on Intel's new socket LGA-1156 socket. Interested so hear the word value? Exactly! Core i5 will be marketed at a price of around U.S. $ 186.
Excess Core i5 is embedded in the core functions of the Northbridge chipset processor (known as the MCH on the motherboard). So Core i5 motherboard that will use Intel P55 chipset (mainstream class) will look vacant without the presence of the northbridge chipset. If you use Core i7 Triple Channel DDR 3, then just use the Core i5 Dual Channel DDR 3. The use of power is also reduced to 95 Watt. P55 chipset supports Triple Graphic Cards (3x) with 1 × 16 PCI-E slots and 2 × 8 PCI-E slot. At Core i5 cache remains the same, ie 8 MB of L3 cache.
Intel also launched Clarksfield, Core i5 mobile version intended for notebooks. Socket to be used is mPGA 989 and require less power is quite small in the amount of 45-55 watts.
Intel Core i3
Intel Core i3 is a variant of the value compared to the other two brothers. This processor will integrate the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) aka Graphics On-board inside the processor. Graphics capabilities with Intel GMA claimed the G45 chipset. Additionally Core i3 will use hybrid manufacturing, the core processor with 32nm, while the memory controller / graphics using 45nm. Core i3 product code is "Arrandale".
Core i7 QM
Notebook processor Core i7 QM has the highest ability. There is no VGA on the processor, but the 4 core processor (quad core), high speed, and Turbo Boost is a mainstay headliner. Processor with 4 cores and hyper-threading will be detected as Windows have 8 core processors! If you need the highest performance notebooks are even able to compete with the desktop, it is a choice. Generally, a notebook with a Core i7 will have a special VGA. So, gamers, graphic application users (Adobe Photoshop, 3ds Max), and high-performance enthusiasts will love. Of course, there is a price to pay for this high performance.
Core i7 M
This is the Arrandale processor (2 core processor) with the best performance. 32 nm technology to make it work with a relatively low temperature. High speed, Hyper-threading, and Turbo boost makes high performance. When combined with additional VGA, Core i7-based notebook M would be an excellent choice for high-performance enthusiasts. His ability to even compete with the Core i7 QM. Of course, with a relatively more affordable.
Core i5 M
Notebook with this processor does have a 2 core processor (dual core). However, the availability of Hyper-threading makes it appear as if he had a 4 core processor. Turbo boost a flagship in terms of performance. Meanwhile, the integrated VGA sufficient for 1080p HD movie playback, and even Blu-Ray movies. If necessary, some light 3D games can be played. If you want high performance with good mobility, the Core i5 is a good choice. The price was not strangling.
Core i3 M
Although not equipped with Turbo Boost, Core i3 performance remains compelling. Hyper-threading makes the most of its ability to be used. VGA it was already more reliable than previous onboard VGA. If you have limited funds but want the best performance from the Intel architecture, the Core i3 is a much more superior than the Core2 Duo.
Testing Brief
Software is a simulation of the use of various applications (MS Office, Adobe, 3ds Max, MS Outlook, etc.) shows that even the Core i3 330 easily beats Core2 Duo T6600.
Software similar to SYSmark is more focused on a simple application of the commonly used notebook. Results ujinya not much different from the previous one.
3DMark 2006 is a software test graphics capabilities. From this test it appears that the Core i3 330M alone was superior over 50% compared to the onboard VGA attached to the Core2 Duo T6600 (Intel GMA 4500MHD).
Intel issued a latest generation processor is Intel i9 "Gulftown code name" [analogy of the i7 + 2, with 6 physical cores, so that the total thread count can reach 12 parallel thread] with 12 MB L3, release mid-2010.
Intel Atom
Intel Atom processor is the new ultra low power Intel Diamondville production code, is the most energy-efficient processor for desktop PCs today, the processor power required for 1 to 2.5 Watt or only about 3% of the power needed by Intel Core 2 Duo (65 Watt), but can provide full X86 desktop PC capabilities, to boost the multimedia functions.
Intel Atom is equipped with support for Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3). Intel atom processor manufactured with 45nm technologically, with 47juta transistor therein and the physical size of less than 26mm square, is Intel's smallest processor currently.
Desktop PCs based on Intel ATOM termed nettop PC that can be interpreted as a "low-cost". "Not only in terms of affordability, it's actually better than Intel has embarked on an era of energy-efficient desktop PC computer world especially so understanding low-cost to reach the daily usage fee, and we started the first time in Makassar," remarked by Wandy Effendi , Managing Director Elextra Computers, through media releases, Wednesday, September 17.

Proessor is an extremely important part of a computer, which serves as the brain of the computer. Without a computer's processor is a machine that can not do anything. Processor developments from year to year has increased so rapidly bahka pioneers such as Intel and AMD are always competing. Many histories experienced processor-Processor Intel before it becomes as good as now a Brain Computer processor now dubbed the world's fastest Core i7 processor and the fastest Corei & extreem.
Here is a processor-processor developments from year to year.
- In 1971, Intel issued a series MCS4 processor which is the forerunner of the i4040 processor. 4-bit processor is planned to be a brain calculator, in the same year (1971), intel make revisions to the i440. Originally commissioned by a Japanese company to manufacture calculators, it is much more powerful processor than expected so that Intel bought the rights to the Japanese company for the development and further research. This is where the embryo to progress towards a computer processor.
- In 1972 appeared the first 8 bits processor i8008, but somewhat less desirable because multivoltage, and new emerging processor i8080, here there are so triple voltage changes, use technology NMOS (PMOS no longer), and introduced the first time the system clock generator (use additional chips), packaged in 40 pins DIP Array. Then came 2 processor also: Motorola MC6800 -1974, -1976 Zilog Z80 (a two rivals), and other processor-processor 6500 series made in MOST, Rockwell, Hyundai, WDC, NCR, etc.. Z80 full compatible with the i8008 only until the machine language level. Language level assemblies are different (incompatible software level). I8080 processor is a processor internal registers 8-bit, 8-bit external bus and 20-bit memory addressing (can access 1 MB total memory), and operating mode REAL.
- In 1977 appeared 8085 processor type, clock generator onprocessor, embryo bakalnya use of single voltage +5 V (implementation until 486DX2, DX4 starting at +3.3 V, etc.).
- In 1978 appeared i8086 processor, this processor has registers 16-bit external data bus, 16-bit and 20-bit memory addressing. This processor is also equipped with HMOS technology, 16-bit bus supporting components are very rare, so the price is very expensive.
- To address the growing market demand, the issuing processor type Intel i8088 16bit internal bus, 8bit external bus. So the i8088 can use i8008 former 8bit peripheral components. IBM chose this chip to pebuatan IBM PC because it is cheaper than the i8086. If only the CEO of IBM PC when it is not expressed merely wishful thinking side, of course, IBM would dominate the total PC market today. IBM PC first release in August 1981 has 3 versions of the IBM PC, IBM PC-Jr and the IBM PC-XT (eXtended Technology). Chip i8088 is very popular, until NEC unveiled a chip that is built based on the specification pin chip, dubbed the V20 and V30. NEC V20 and V30 is compatible with Intel processors up to the assembly language level (software). 8088 and 8086 chip fully compatible with programs designed to chip 8080, although there may be some programs designed to not function on a chip 8086 8088 (bus width difference).
- In the next year issued a processor type Intel i80186 and i80188. Since the advent i80186 processor type, processor began packaged in PLCC, LCC and PGA 68 feet .. i80186 physically shaped by 17 feet square precision (PLCC / LCC) or 2 rows of foot-precision (PGA) and the start of this i80186 chip DMA and interrupt controller integrated into the processor. since using the 286, IBM uses the term IBM PC-AT (Advanced Technology) and has become a popular use of the term PersonalSystem (PS / 1). And also becoming known use 16 bit ISA slots were developed from 8-bit ISA slots, the cloner began popping crowded. There are AMD, Harris & MOS fully compatible with intel. In 286 it became known use of Virtual Adress Protected Mode which allows multitasking time sharing (via hardware resetting).
- Then to reach the lost momentum of the i8086 chip, Intel i80286, processor registers, 16-bit, 16-bit external bus, limited protected mode, known as the STANDARD mode using 24-bit memory addressing that can access up to 16 MB of memory . Chip 80 286 is of course fully compatible with 808x series chips before, with the addition of several new instruction set. Unfortunately, this chip has some bugs in its hardware design, thus failing to gather followers.
- In 1985, Intel launched a processor design an entirely new: i80386. A 32-bit processor, in the sense of register 32-bit external data bus, 32-bit, and maintain compatibility with the previous generation, in addition to the introduction of 32-BIT PROTECTED mode for 32-bit memory addressing, being able to access a maximum of 4 GB, and do not forget the extra few new instructions. Chip began packaged in a PGA (pin grid array). Intel processors up to this point has not been used internally FPU unit. To support FPU, Intel launched a series of 80 × 87. Since the 386 is starting to emerge cloner processor: AMD, Cyrix, NGen, IT, IIT, IBM (Blue Lightning) etc, various kinds:
1) i80386 DX (full 32 bit)
2) i80386 SX (cheap as external 16bit)
3) i80486 DX (int 487)
4) i80486 SX (487 disabled)
5) Cx486 DLC (using MB 386DX, others)
6) Cx486 SLC (using MB 386SX)
7) i80486DX2
8) i80486DX2 ODP
9) Cx486DLC2 (architecture MB 386)
10) Cx486SLC2 (architecture MB 386)
11) i80486DX4
12) i80486DX4 ODP
13) i80486SX2
14) 14.Pentium
15) Pentium ODP
- Around 1989 Intel launched i80486DX. Series which is very popular, increasing the series 80 386 series is the speed and support internal FPU clock multiplier scheme (series i486DX2 and iDX4), without additional new instructions. Due to public demand for cheaper processors, Intel launched the i80486SX series is none other than the circuit i80486DX processor FPU has been disabled. As it should be, i80486DX series has full compatibility with instruction set chip-chip series. AMD and Cyrix processor design then buy the i80386 and i80486DX to make Intel-compatible processors, and they proved to be very successful. My opinion is what is called the 'cloning', just like the story of the NEC V20 and V30. AMD and Cyrix not do vertical design process (based on an earlier series chips), but based on the design of an existing chip to create a chip that class.
- In 1993, Intel launched the Pentium processor. Improvements to the i80486: PGA structures larger (higher speeds, and pipelining, WITHOUT new instructions. Nothing special about this chip, just the fact that the standards are made for i80486 VLB not fit (it is not compatible) so chipset makers forced to redesign to support PCI. Intel Pentium for Meng used the term "drag" his rival. since Pentium is the cloner from "falling out" stay AMD, Cyrix. use the term Intel Pentium Intel lost in court because patents. reasons figures can not be patented , because it's Intel Pentium issued using TM. + AMD Cyrix did not want to fall behind, they are issued a standard Pentium Rating (PR) 92 intel previous year had collaborated degan Sun, but failed, and Intel was sued by Sun for allegedly copying the design of Sun. since Pentium, Intel has implemented Pipelining capabilities that usually there diprocessor cuman RISC (RISC spt SunSparc). Vesa Local Bus that 32bit is the development of ISA 16bit architecture uses a fixed clock because it has its own clock generator (typically> 33MHz) while the PCI architecture is the architecture that speeds clocknya follow Processor clock speeds (typically half the speed of the processor speed). Thus the VGA Card PCI relative velocity will not be the same at different frequencies MHz processor aka faster MHz processor, the faster PCI his
- In 1995, the emergence of the Pentium Pro. Innovation disatukannya memory cache into the processor socket demands made 8. Pin-pin processor is divided into 2 groups: 1 group for cache memory, and 1 group again for the processor itself, which is nothing more than a pin-pin Pentium changed its structure. The design of this processor enables higher efficiency when dealing with 32-bit instructions, but if there are 16-bit instructions appearing in the 32-bit instruction cycle, the processor will make emptying the cache so that the execution is slow. There's only one instruction is added: CMOV (Conditional Move).
- In 1996, the Pentium MMX. Actually, no more than a Pentium with additional units and additional instruction sets, ie MMX. Intel still has not given a clear definition of the term MMX. Multi Media Extension is a term used AMD. There is a limitation in the design of this chip: for MMX module simply just added into the design without redesign Pentium, Intel was forced to make the unit MMX and FPU do the sharing, in the sense of current active FPU MMX non-active, and vice versa. So the Pentium MMX mode is not compatible with the Pentium MMX. What about the AMD K5? AMD K5-PR75 is actually a 'clone' i80486DX internal speeds of 133MHz and 33MHz bus clock. Specs Pentium AMD gained when designing the next versions K5 and Cyrix when designing 6 × 86 is limited to the specifications of pin-pin Pentium. They were not given access to the original design. Even IBM can not afford to make Intel budge (Cyrix, IBM has a contract until the year tied with 2005). Regarding the design of AMD K6, K6 do you know that is actually owned by NexGen design? As Intel states making unit MMX, AMD MMX looking design and add it to the K6. Unfortunately, specifications are obtained MMX AMD Intel seems not used, because many ketidakkompatibilitas proved K6 has a Pentium MMX MMX instruction.
- In 1997, Intel launched the Pentium II, Pentium Pro with MMX technology that has two innovations: the memory cache does not become one with core processors such as the Pentium Pro, but outside the nucleus but function processor speed. Innovation is what causes the loss of deficiency Pentium Pro (problems emptying cache) second innovation, the SEC (Single Edge Cartidge), Why? Since we can put the Pentium Pro processor in slot SEC with the help of a special adapter. Addendum: since onprocessor L2 cache, the cache speed = speed of the processor, as PII its cache while on the "outside" (using the processor module), then the speed is half the processor speed. Mentioned also use the PII Slot 1 for several reasons:
1) Widen the data path (foot lots - Also an excuse Socket 8), processing in PPro and PII may parallel. Because it actually Slot 1 more powerless in Multithreading / Multiple Processor. (Unfortunately the O / S has not been a lot of support, dual PII benchmark processorpun by ZDBench more done via Win95 rather than via NT)
2) Allows upgrader Slot 1 without consuming much space on the motherboard because if not ZIF socket 9, can measuring Form Factor (MB) of his own concept of space saving since 8088 has also been there. Why come out well in the 286 SIMM specifications? Some of these places are efficiency and simplification of form.
3) Allows the use of more efficient cache module and a high speed balanced with speed processor and again without a lot of eating places, unlike AMD / Cyrix were "forced" to double its cache to rival speed L1 PII (due to its slow L2) so conclusions AMD K6 and Cyrix 6 × 86 is not fast but fast processor cache hit! Because the spec Socket7 L2 cache speed will be limited to only the data bus as fast / slow down when the data bus is busy, but next year is planned PII operates at 100MHz (instead of 66MHz again). Point is one of the reasons why the intel chipset change from 430 to 440, which means also have to replace the motherboard.
- On October 6, 1998, Intel Corporation released the fastest version of the dual processor Intel ® Pentium ® II Xeon ™ with speeds of 450 MHz, designed specifically for use on dual-processor (two-way) Workstations and servers. This new processor is expected to be able to build a solid belief that Pentium ® II Xeon ™ can be received in the market and can be used as the basis for all processors Workstation and Servers. Dual processor (Dual-processor/two-way) will make the users are not directly move to this new processor generation, this is due to the various problems that have been resolved by the quaint-processor processors such as Mission-Critical History. System vendors including Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, IBM, Intergraph, NEC, Siemens Nixdorf (SNI), TriStar and UMAX had planned to switch to a new processor that will supposedly take them to a higher level of data processing is amazing. "The development of Intel processor technology continues to drive the workings of the computer to a higher level, resulting in a very rapid expansion in the marketing sector on Workstations and Servers", explains Anand Chandrasekher, Intel ® Workstation Production Division. "A very encouraging sign for us when launching processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ to the market, many new customers are very interested in the architecture of this processor, therefore premiere Processor Xeon ™ Pentium ® II 450 MHz speeds, should be able to accelerate the trend development of a high-speed processor in the present ". As other family members of the Intel ® Inside microprocessor, the most prominent on the processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ 450 MHz is Chaches Level 2 (L2) is bigger, the speed of data processing, special handling on heat flow protection, ability Multiprosessing, and 100-MHz system bus. AGPset Intel ® 440GX for Workstations and servers with one or two processors can provide support up to 20-GB memory and AGP Graphics are smoother and more real. This processor also supports the development of Operating Systems such as Windows NT (New Technology) for Workstation, Windows NT Servers, Netware and UNIX. Processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ 450 MHz with 512 KB L2 cache for $ 824, around Rp. 5.768 million, - (exchange rate of Rp 7000, - per dollar); processor Pentium ® II Xeon ™ 450 MHz four-lane (Four-way) if not prevented will be realized in early 1999.
- In 1999, Intel issued a processor of the type Intel ® Pentium ® III Processor. Pentium III Processor is a processor with an added 70 new instructions that dramatically enhance the ability of high-level imaging, three-dimensional, audio streaming, and video applications as well as voice recognition. Besides, in the same year Intel also issued processor type Intel ® Pentium ® III Xeon ®. Intel is re-penetrated market by issuing server and workstation Xeon Pentium III but the kind that has 70 SIMD commands. The advantages of this processor is that it can speed up the processing of information from the system bus to the processor, significantly boosting performance. This processor is also designed to integrate with other similar processors.
- In 2000, Intel issued a processor of the type Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Processor. Processor Intel Pentium IV is a product of the speed of the process is capable of penetrating up to 3.06 GHz speed. First time out this processor speed 1.5 GHz with 423 pin form factor, then change the form factor Intel processor Intel Pentium 4 into a pin 478 which starts from an Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz speed until the latest which is currently capable of penetrating speed of up to 3 , 4 GHz.
- On August 9, 2006, Intel Corporation launched the Intel Core 2 Duo processors aimed at desktop PCs and workstations and consumer and business laptops - the processor with the technology that can produce better performance, less power consumption, and flexibility for the use of its users. "Processor-Core 2 Duo processors are the best processors in the world," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. "The last time the industry saw the computer core is returned as this is when Intel introduced the Pentium processor. Core 2 Duo desktop processor contains 291 million transistors yet consuming 40 percent less power, while delivering the performance needed for the applications of today and tomorrow. "Processor family that has been waiting for has had broad support with more than 550 computer system designs underway - the most in Intel's history. In the end, tens of thousands of businesses will sell computers or components using the processors.
- Processor-Intel Core 2 Duo processors are built in several high-volume output manufacturing facilities using the world's most advanced silicon process technology from Intel's 64-nanometer. The desktop PC version of the processors also produce an increase in performance of up to 40 percent and 40 percent more energy efficient than Intel's previous best processor. According to multiple independent review organizations, the processors win more than nine out of 10 benchmarks the performance of servers, desktop PCs and PC gaming. Family Intel Core 2 Duo processors consist of a desktop PC made specifically for users of business, home, and enthusiast, as players high-end games, and five mobile PC processors designed to meet the needs of a mobile lifestyle . Various workstations using the Intel Core 2 Duo will also produce industry-leading performance in terms of design, content creation and technical computing. The processor family is based on the Intel Core micro architecture is revolutionary, designed to produce a powerful performance yet energy-efficient. With the power of dual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numerous tasks faster. These processors are also able to work without any problems when running more than one application, such as writing e-mails while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan. Chip-chip dual-core also improve tasks such as viewing and playing high-definition video, protecting the PC and its assets during e-commerce transactions, and enabling improved battery life for notebooks more sleek and lightweight.
- Consumers and businesses will have the option to buy up Intel Core 2 Duo as part of a focused platforms from Intel's main market, which consists of the technologies Intel hardware and software made specifically for specific computing needs, including Intel vPro technology for businesses, Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology for laptops, and Intel Viiv technology for home users. Processor-Intel Core 2 Duo processor has many advanced innovations, such as:

- In 2008, precisely on August 17, Intel issued a newest product processor type Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core. The newest product called Core 2 Extreme QX9300 processor with 45W TDP features and give special attention to the cooling or cooling system. The New Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 has a core clocked at 2.53GHz and carrying set FSB or Front Side Bus of 1066 and has a cache memory of 12MB. The launching quad-core processor is simply 2hari before IDF 2008 schedule begins. For the price, the new Core 2 Extreme provides a facility that is promising but relatively cheap price offered for the ability of an outstanding processor. The price for this mobile processor range from $ 1038 where the agreement Intel has done little to determine the price of this processor QX9300. By comparison, the Dual Core Mobile Chip with similar features that clock speed of 2.53GHz for $ 340, but her performance 3x slower than the QX9300. Of course if you want to match the QX9300 then users will pay a higher price. According to another source of Quad Core development team, the development will be carried out to explore the desktop market.
- Intel also released the other processor types, namely with the name Core 2 Quad Q8200. This processor has a core clock of 2.33GHz and is planned to be introduced in August, exactly on 31. This processor has a FSB or front side bus of 1333 and the 4MB cache memory. Based on information from the Intel, the prices for these processors is equal to $ 224, which is a definite price and the Intel has been producing thousands of units of this processor to be widely marketed. So the cheapest processor Q8200 is a quad core processor class that carries the line 45nm fabrication technology. Processor Q9300 with a core clock of 2.5GHz and 2.66GHz Processor Q9400 clocked marketed at a price of $ 266.
- Processor i3, i5, i7, and i9
Currently, the latest notebook using Intel processors have started using Intel Core i family. There is the so-called Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7. All three are the official successor of the Intel Core 2 line of processors (Core2 solo, Core2 Duo, Core2 Quad). Repair what is offered with a range of Core i this? We will try to explain as simply as possible about this new line of notebook processors.
Nehalem
All the processors Intel Core i built a name on the basis of the architecture, named Nehalem. Simply put, this new architecture offers higher performance with power consumption settings are much better. There are some things that are the hallmarks of the Nehalem architecture in general, when compared to the previous Core architecture.
Merging components
In Nehalem, there are some components that are combined into one in the processor. The most important thing is the incorporation of controller memory (RAM) into the processor. Previously, the controller is located outside the processor. With the inclusion of the memory controller into the processor, the speed of the flow of data between the processor and the memory becomes higher. At the Core i3 M, Core i5 M, and Core i7 M, Intel VGA even put it into the processor. This of course makes the ability VGA be better than previous onboard VGA.
Power efficiency, maximizing performance
At Core2 Duo (2 processors with core processor / 2 cores), if the processor speed is 3 GHz, that means two processor cores work with the speed of 3 GHz. When the processor rest, both will fall at the same speed as well. So, if there is software that can only use one core processor (eg, Apple itunes), the second processor core will work at top speed (3 GHz). The processor core works to process the data, while the other core bandwagon just upped the pace without processing the data.
In Nehalem, the conditions are different. For example, the Core i3 (2 core processor / 2 cores), the above conditions will only make one processor core to work and use the maximum speed. While one unused processor core stays at rest to conserve energy.
Hyper-threading (HT)
Did you know that a core processor is not always "employed" to the fullest? As an analogy, consider a processor with two cores (dual core) is a room with two people in it. By the time a person was asked to cook, her hands will work. However, this person is still able to receive calls while cooking, is not it?The same thing happened on the processor core. There are parts of the processor core is unused when an order was given to him. The cause is the order probably did not take advantage of certain parts of the processor. Then, how can we take advantage of the parts that are not working? Maximizing technology called Intel processors work with the name Hyper-threading (HT).
A processor core with HT technology will be recognized by the operating system (eg Windows 7) as a 2 core processor. So, Operating System can provide 2 work on a processor core. This makes Nehalem-based processors are able to work more optimally than its predecessor.
Turbo boost
This capability is a prime feature of most processors with Nehalem technology. The basic idea is Hugi (Hurry Up and Get Idle). The theory is that if a job is completed faster, the processor will be able to rest more quickly and save more energy.
In general, each processor has a maximum power consumption. Let us take the example Core i5 (2 core processor / core), which limits the range of power consumption is about 35 watts. If the VGA and memory controller on the Core i5-consuming 10 W and only 1 processor cores in use, consumption is only 22.5W, is not it? Then, how the processor can complete tasks faster, while the software does not use the second core available?
The remaining quota 12.5W power consumption can be used to perform Core i5 Turbo Boost. What happens is (the Core i5-430M, 2.2GHz), 1 core speed can be increased up to 2.53 GHz. This is done by utilizing the remaining rations and pay attention to the power consumption of the processor temperature. Thus, the processor will not exceed 35W power consumption, and will not overheat. Meanwhile, the software can get the job done faster.
Arrandale
What kind of name is this? This name we adopted to distinguish the Core i7 Core i7 QM with M, Core i5 and Core i3 M M. Currently, Core i7 Nehalem QM still using 45 nm technology. Although very powerful, the technology at the 45 nm Core i7 make it work a bit more heat. In addition, the Core i7 QM also has no VGA in its 4-core processor (quad core).
Arrandale is the code for Nehalem-based processors for notebooks using 32 nm technology and has a VGA integrated in the processor. Currently, the Arrandale core processor has only a maximum of 2 (dual core). However, performance is still high and the temperature tends to be cooler than his Core i7.
Processor Comparison
Here are more details about the description of these three products:
Intel Core i7
Core i7 processor itself is first with technology "Nehalem". Nehalem uses a new platform that really different from the previous generation. One is to integrate MCH chipset directly on the processor, not the motherboard. Nehalem also replace the function of the FSB to QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) is more revolutionary.
Intel Core i5
If Bloomfield is the codename for the Core i7 Lynnfield is the codename for the Core i5. Core i5 is the value of the Core i7 series that will run on Intel's new socket LGA-1156 socket. Interested so hear the word value? Exactly! Core i5 will be marketed at a price of around U.S. $ 186.
Excess Core i5 is embedded in the core functions of the Northbridge chipset processor (known as the MCH on the motherboard). So Core i5 motherboard that will use Intel P55 chipset (mainstream class) will look vacant without the presence of the northbridge chipset. If you use Core i7 Triple Channel DDR 3, then just use the Core i5 Dual Channel DDR 3. The use of power is also reduced to 95 Watt. P55 chipset supports Triple Graphic Cards (3x) with 1 × 16 PCI-E slots and 2 × 8 PCI-E slot. At Core i5 cache remains the same, ie 8 MB of L3 cache.
Intel also launched Clarksfield, Core i5 mobile version intended for notebooks. Socket to be used is mPGA 989 and require less power is quite small in the amount of 45-55 watts.
Intel Core i3
Intel Core i3 is a variant of the value compared to the other two brothers. This processor will integrate the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) aka Graphics On-board inside the processor. Graphics capabilities with Intel GMA claimed the G45 chipset. Additionally Core i3 will use hybrid manufacturing, the core processor with 32nm, while the memory controller / graphics using 45nm. Core i3 product code is "Arrandale".
Core i7 QM
Notebook processor Core i7 QM has the highest ability. There is no VGA on the processor, but the 4 core processor (quad core), high speed, and Turbo Boost is a mainstay headliner. Processor with 4 cores and hyper-threading will be detected as Windows have 8 core processors! If you need the highest performance notebooks are even able to compete with the desktop, it is a choice. Generally, a notebook with a Core i7 will have a special VGA. So, gamers, graphic application users (Adobe Photoshop, 3ds Max), and high-performance enthusiasts will love. Of course, there is a price to pay for this high performance.
Core i7 M
This is the Arrandale processor (2 core processor) with the best performance. 32 nm technology to make it work with a relatively low temperature. High speed, Hyper-threading, and Turbo boost makes high performance. When combined with additional VGA, Core i7-based notebook M would be an excellent choice for high-performance enthusiasts. His ability to even compete with the Core i7 QM. Of course, with a relatively more affordable.
Core i5 M
Notebook with this processor does have a 2 core processor (dual core). However, the availability of Hyper-threading makes it appear as if he had a 4 core processor. Turbo boost a flagship in terms of performance. Meanwhile, the integrated VGA sufficient for 1080p HD movie playback, and even Blu-Ray movies. If necessary, some light 3D games can be played. If you want high performance with good mobility, the Core i5 is a good choice. The price was not strangling.
Core i3 M
Although not equipped with Turbo Boost, Core i3 performance remains compelling. Hyper-threading makes the most of its ability to be used. VGA it was already more reliable than previous onboard VGA. If you have limited funds but want the best performance from the Intel architecture, the Core i3 is a much more superior than the Core2 Duo.
Testing Brief
Software is a simulation of the use of various applications (MS Office, Adobe, 3ds Max, MS Outlook, etc.) shows that even the Core i3 330 easily beats Core2 Duo T6600.
Software similar to SYSmark is more focused on a simple application of the commonly used notebook. Results ujinya not much different from the previous one.
3DMark 2006 is a software test graphics capabilities. From this test it appears that the Core i3 330M alone was superior over 50% compared to the onboard VGA attached to the Core2 Duo T6600 (Intel GMA 4500MHD).
Intel issued a latest generation processor is Intel i9 "Gulftown code name" [analogy of the i7 + 2, with 6 physical cores, so that the total thread count can reach 12 parallel thread] with 12 MB L3, release mid-2010.
Intel Atom
Intel Atom processor is the new ultra low power Intel Diamondville production code, is the most energy-efficient processor for desktop PCs today, the processor power required for 1 to 2.5 Watt or only about 3% of the power needed by Intel Core 2 Duo (65 Watt), but can provide full X86 desktop PC capabilities, to boost the multimedia functions.
