Intel's 4 & 6 Core i7 Processors |
 |
It
is NOT just
about Ghz anymore....
it's
More about the
Core |
|
 |
The Intel® Core™ i7
processor family are the fastest desktop processors on the planet and they
have shattered all performance projections.
With faster, intelligent multi-core technology that applies
processing power where it's needed most, new Intel® Core™ i7
processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in PC performance.
You will multitask applications faster and experience maximum
performance for everything you do, thanks to the combination of
Intel® Turbo Boost
technology and Intel® Hyper-Threading technology, which maximizes
performance to match your workload. |
Intel
Core i7-980x - 6 Core
 
The 6 Core i7-980x is the fastest processor on the planet!
With
even faster, intelligent multi-core technology that accelerates performance
to the maximum level. it delivers an incredible breakthrough in processing
speed. But
extraordinary performance gains do not stop there. Compared the previous
generation Dual Core processors, you'll multitask over 100%
faster and unleash incredible speed with this processor.
Intel
Core
i7-960 / i7-930 - 4 Core
 With faster, intelligent multi-core technology that applies processing power
where it's needed most, new Intel® Core™ i7 processors deliver an
incredible breakthrough in PC performance. You will multitask applications faster and unleash
incredible digital media creation. And you'll experience maximum performance
for everything you do, thanks to the combination of Intel® Turbo Boost
technology and Intel® Hyper-Threading technology, which maximizes
performance to match your workload.
Superior performance on
compute-intensive workloads
If you have serious computing requirements, then you want an
Intel® Core™ i7 processor in your system. Whether it is physics, financial trading, or fluid dynamics, rest assured,
Intel® Core™ i7 processors are the right choice.

Its more about the Core! |
|
In the past, measuring processor speed was all
about the Ghz, or clock speed. In the past few years that
measurement has become less important as the microarchitecture of processors has advanced to a much higher
level. Now, CPU speed is measured more by how many CORES
are on the chip and not so much about the clock speed of one
core. More cores = more speed, it is that simple...read on.
Also the new i7 processors have a built in memory controller. |

Having an Intel i7 processor
and motherboard in your system is like having the speed of
8-12
processors!
That's right. Intel's fast i7
processors combined with HyperThreading technology
DOUBLES the virtual processing threads from 6 to 12
on a SIX Core CPU, and 4 to 8 on a QUAD
Core CPU! Each
'thread' equates to a lane of data traffic. More lanes of traffic means
more information can be processed simultaneously which
translates to serious overall speed.
A Dual core processor only has 2
cores, a Quad core processor has 4 cores, and a Six
Core processor 6 cores.
See the illustration to the left
of an actual device manager screenshot of a system with the new
i7-980x 6 Core processor. Notice that there are 12 virtual processors
displayed. Is there any question? |

8-12 times the
simultaneous data throughput = Serious Speed !

MYTH:
A common misconception is that
your system will not benefit from multi threaded processing if
your software applications are not multi-threaded.
|
|
FACT:
Absolutely not true. Regarding
multi-threaded Quad core processors and any software application
Intel says: "Even if the applications are not
multi-threaded, multi-tasking environments will benefit from
multi-core processors." (Source:
Intel Software Solutions Group)
It is true that a single threaded
software application will not utilize multi threading. However,
Windows XP and Windows Vista both support multi-threading so
your overall system performance will benefit substantially with
multi-threading speed. Also, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel,
Outlook etc) applications are fully multi-thread capable.

The Future:
The future of processing
technology will utilize QUAD-core processing as
the new
standard. If you are in the market for a new computer system you
most definitely want to include the latest technology to ensure
you are 'Future Ready'. Dual core processor will soon become
obsolete as Quad core become main stream. |

Technical Specifications: |
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology:
Two processing threads per physical core for a
total of eight threads provide massive
computational throughput.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology:
Dynamically increases the processor’s frequency
for more performance automatically, when you
need it the most. (this is NOT the
same as overclocking)
Intel®
Smart Cache Integrated
Memory Controller: Large last-level
cache for ultra-efficient data storage and
manipulation.
Intel® QuickPath Interconnect:
Interconnect design increases bandwidth and
lowers latency and data transfer speeds.
Integrated Memory Controller:
Lower latency and higher memory bandwidth
deliver amazing performance for data-intensive
applications.
Intel® HD Boost: Allows a
new level of processing efficiency with
SSE4-optimized application.
Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS):
More efficient processor and platform thermal
control for significantly lower noise emissions.
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution:
Improves execution speed and efficiency,
delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
Intel® Smart Memory Access:
Improves system performance and reduces the
effective latency of memory accesses.

i7 Performance Benchmarks
Best processors on the planet" is based on
SPECint_rate_base2006* scores. Any difference in system hardware
or software design or configuration may affect actual
performance. SPECint*_rate_base2006 and SPECfp*_rate_base2006
are capacity-based metrics used to measure throughput of a
computer that is performing a number of tasks. This is achieved
by running multiple copies of each benchmark simultaneously with
the number of copies set to set to the number of logical
hardware cores seen by the operating system. SPEC* CPU2006
provides a comparative measure of compute intensive performance
across the widest practical range of hardware. The product
consists of source code benchmarks that are developed from real
user applications.
