Core "is a new micro-architecture, which is in a leading position in energy saving. The starting point of the design is to provide excellent performance and energy efficiency, and improve the performance per watt, which is the so-called energy efficiency ratio. The early Core was based on notebook processors.
Core 2: English Core 2 Duo is a general term for a new generation of product systems based on Core microarchitecture launched by Intel. Published on July 27th, 2006. Core 2 is a cross-platform architecture, including server version, desktop version and mobile version. Among them, the development code of the server version is Woodcrest, the development code of the desktop version is Conroe, and the development code of the mobile version is Merom.
Features:
Brand-new core architecture, completely abandoning Netburst architecture.
All adopt 65 nm manufacturing process.
All products are dual-core, and the L2 cache capacity is increased to 4MB.
The number of transistors reaches 29 1 100 million, and the core size is 143 mm2.
Performance improvement of 40%
Energy consumption is reduced by 40%, the average energy consumption of mainstream products is 65 watts, and the top X6800 is only 75 watts.
The front-end bus is upgraded to 1066Mhz(Conroe), 1333Mhz(Woodcrest) and 667Mhz(Merom).
The server class Woodcrest is development code, and the actual product name is Xeon 5 100 series.
Use LGA77 1 interface.
Zhiqiang 5 100 series contains two FSB product specifications (1066 MHz for 510, 1333 MHz for 5 130). With two processing cores and 4MB*** L2 cache, the average power consumption is 65W, and the maximum power consumption is only 80W, which is better than AMD's Snapdragon's 95W power consumption.
Conroe processors for desktop computers are divided into two types: the normal version and the extreme version. The product line includes E6000 series and E4000 series. The main difference between them is the different FSB frequencies.
The main frequency of common E6000 series processors ranges from 1.8GHz to 2.67GHz. Although the frequency is low, Conroe processor has excellent performance due to its excellent core architecture. In addition, Conroe processor also supports Intel's VT, EIST, EM64T and XD technologies, and adds SSE4 instruction set. Due to the efficient architecture of Core, Conroe no longer provides HT support.
