Core i7 processor technologies:

• Intel® Turbo Boost technology – maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match

your workload—more performance when you need it the most.²

• Intel® Smart Cache – provides a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem. Optimized for industry

leading multi-threaded games.

• Intel® QuickPath Interconnect – designed for increased bandwidth and low latency. It can achieve data transfer speeds as high

as 25.6 GB/sec with the Extreme Edition processor.

• Intel® HD Boost – significantly improves a broad range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications. The

128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, allowing a new level of processing efficiency with SSE4 optimized applications.

X99 Chipset

• Intel got out of the motherboard market, so you could the CPU in motherboard with the X99 chipset• That the chipset designed to work with processor.

Generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processor Family

• Add on to the i7 and i5 processors.• You can also help protect your organization’s sensitive

data with optional Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT).

• Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) for Laptop Security• http://www.intel.com/technology/anti-theft/index.htm

Intel® Core™ M Processor

Very little information avialable. There are also a number of i7/i5/i3 with the mobile as well.

Level 1 Execution Trace Cache• In addition to the 8 KB data cache, the processors

includes an Execution Trace Cache that stores up to 12 K decoded micro-ops in the order of program execution.

• This increases performance by removing the decoder from the main execution loop and makes more efficient usage of the cache storage space since instructions that are branched around are not stored.– As a result, a high volume of instructions are delivered

to the processor's execution units and the overall time required to recover from erroneous branch predictions is decreased.

Intel® Atom™ Processor

• Built for simple affordable netbooks, nettops, and maybe phones– 22x22mm form factor

• 60% smaller then notebook CPUs, 70% smaller then desktop processors.

• Video: Intel Next Generation Atom Platform

Z550

Intel® Atom™ Processor

• Intel® Enhanced Deeper Sleep (C4/C4E)– Power savings

• Low TDP for reduced cooling requirements– Power-optimized front side bus for longer battery life without

impacting performance• Enhanced data prefetcher and enhanced register access

manager– Anticipates data the processor is likely to need and stores the

information within the processor's L2 cache, resulting in improved performance since the processor doesn't have to wait as long for data.

• Uses the intel 945GSE express chipset.

Intel® Atom™ Processor Z625• 1 core, 1.9 Ghz
