Intel® Multi-Core Technology Intel® Microarchitecture

The term microarchitecture describes the operation of the circuitry of a computer or central
processing unit (CPU).

Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution Enables the processor to do multiple things simultaneously, allowing you to do more in less time.


Silicon Innovation Intel continuously researches new transistor designs to bring you powerful processor performance with increased energy efficiency.

Intel® Multi-Core TechnologyMulti-core processors are single chips that contain two or more distinct processors or execution cores in the same integrated circuit. While independent, their construction makes for interdependent task-sharing.

What does that mean for you? Increasingly, software is being developed that sends multiple instructions which need to be processed simultaneously.

Tens of thousands of times a second—especially while running intensive programs like high-definition video rendering or engineering programs—software is making decisions. Here’s how Intel® processors do it better.

Intel® Multi-Core Technology

Permanently altering the course of computing as we know it, Intel® multi-core technology provides
new levels of energy-efficient performance, enabled by advanced parallel processing and next-generationhafnium-based 45nm technology. Incorporating multiple processor execution cores in a single package
delivering full parallel execution of multiple software threads, Intel multi-core technology enableseach core to run at a lower frequency, dividing the power normally given to a single core.

This providesa breakthrough experience in notebook and desktop PCs, workstations, and servers.

Central to our technology roadmap, Intel® multi-core processors based on 45nm
Intel® Core™ microarchitecture are paving the way to the next revolution in processortechnology—next-generation 32nm multi-core processors. By innovating future architectures that can hold dozens or even hundreds of processors on a single die, we're ensuring that Intel® technologies
will continue to outpace demands well into the future.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is one of the many exciting new features that Intel has built into latest-generation
Intel® microarchitecture (codenamed Nehalem). It automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating
frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.


Dynamically increasing performance As an independent and complimentary feature, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) along with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology increases performance of both multi-threaded and single threaded workloads. Intel Turbo BoostTechnology is activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state (P0).

The maximum frequency of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is dependent on the number of active cores. The amount of time
the processor spends in the Intel Turbo Boost Technology state depends on the workload and operating environment,
providing the performance you need, when and where you need it.

Any of the following can set the upper limit of Intel Turbo Boost Technology on a given workload:

Number of active cores
Estimated current consumption
Estimated power consumption
Processor temperature
When the processor is operating below these limits and the user's workload demands additional performance, the processor frequency will dynamically increase by 133 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met or the maximum possible upside for the number of active cores is reached. Conversely, when any of the limits are reached or exceeded, the processor frequency will automatically decrease by 133 MHz until the processor is again operating within its limits.
