First the Tick, Now the Tock: Next Generation Intel Microarchitecture - Nehalem by Intel Corporation
eNext generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) is the next step in Intel's continuing success in leading the industry in processor performance and energy efficiency. In fact, it represents another big leap in performance and energy efficiency, similar to the leap made by Intel Core microarchitecture over the first 90nm Intel Pentium M processors. Next generation Intel microarchitecture (Nehalem) continues Intel's philosophy of focusing on improvements in how the processor uses available clock cycles and power, rather than just pushing up ever higher clock speeds and energy needs. The goal is to do more in the same power envelope - or even reduced envelopes. In turn, like its Intel Core m...
