Intel’s Microprocessors

The Journey from 4004 to i7 and many more


What Is A Microprocessor

 Also known as central processing unit - CPU


 An integrated circuit built on a tiny piece of silicon
 It contains thousands, or even millions, of transistors, which are
interconnected via superfine traces of aluminum
 The transistors work together to store and manipulate data so that
the microprocessor can perform a wide variety of useful functions
 The particular functions a microprocessor performs are dictated by
software
 One most common task microprocessors perform is to serve as
"brains" inside personal computers (PC), but they deliver
"intelligence" to other devices as well
Microprocessor History
 Most important advances in computer technology - 16-bit and 32-
bit microprocessors
 Pioneered by Intel since 1970’s and dominated by Intel since 1980’s
 4-bit 4004 in 1971
 8-bit 8008 in 1972
 8-bit 8080 and 8085 in 1974
 16-bit 8088 and 8086, brains of famous IBM PC
 32-bit 80286 (1982), 80386 (1985), 80486 (1989), Pentium (1993),
Pentium II (1997), Celeron and Pentium III (1999) and Pentium 4
(2000)
 Latest 64-bit core2 and core i series(2009)

Using very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuit technology


What does 45nm means?
Penryn (code name)
Faster
Smaller
Greener

So what does it mean?


Invention of Transistors
Transistors replaced vacuum tubes
It was smaller than the vacuum tube
If you put a bunch in a row interconnected you could
control the on and off

So what does it mean?


So what does it mean?

Dr. Gordon E. Moore, Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation, predicted that


no. of transistors per integrated circuit would double every 18 months

Types of Brain Architecture
NetBurst MicroArchitecture
Core MicroArchitecture
Nehalem MicroArchitecture
NetBurst MicroArchitecture
Hyper Pipelined Technology
a)20 stage pipelining instead 10 stages in p3

Rapid Execution Engine


a) two ALUs in the core of the CPU are double-pumped

Eg Celeron, Pentium4,Pentium D etc


Core MicroArchitecture
Produces less heat
Consumes less power
Linked L1 cache and shared L2 cache
Introduced multiple Core technology on single die

Eg:- Intel Core2 series, like Core2Duo, Core2Quad


Nehalem MicroArchitecture
Reintroduced L3 cache for better Hyper Threading
32 KB L1 data cache per core
Latest Advancement in processor Microarchitecture
256 KB L2 cache per core
4–12 MB L3 cache shared by all cores

Eg:- Core i3, Core i5, core i7


Core i3
The first Core i3 processors were launched on January
7, 2010
The first Nehalem based Core i3 was Clarkdale-based,
with an integrated GPU and two cores
Core i5
The first Core i5 was introduced on September 8, 2009
Based on Nehalem MicroArchitecture
Integrated Memory Controller
It was released with two architectures
A) with integrated GPU like i3(Clarkdale Model)
B) without integrated GPU(Lynnfield Model)
Corei7
By far the Fastest Processor on earth
Clock frequency of 9.2ghz recorded
256KB of L1 cache
 Supports HyperBoost
Gives Better performance with less power
consumption
Removal of FSB and Introduction of Quick Path
Interconnection A.K.A QPI
Core i5 V/s Core i7
Core i5 Core i7
 Integrated with GPU with No separate GPU
Clarkdale Supports HyperBoost
 Supports Hyper Boost Uses QPI instead of FSB,
 Uses traditional FSB system thereby removing
to connect to southbridge southbridge
 Uses dual channel DDR3 ram Uses triple channel DDR3
Ram
Core i3 V/s Core i5
Core i3 Core i5
 Does not support turbo boost Supports Turbo boost
 Have integrated GPU Clarkdale model has GPU but
 Physically 2 cores are present Lynnfield does not
Physically 4 core are present
No
