ABSTRACT
This paper explains the architecture development and challenges of multi-core processing, plus provides a glimpse into the upcoming Intel quad-core processors and the direction in which Intel is taking multi-core processors to the future. We discuss many of the benefits you will see as we continue to increase processor performance, energy efficiency, and capabilities. Multi-core processor capability is central to the Intel platform-centric approach. By enabling enhanced performance, reduced power consumption and more efficient simultaneous processing of multiple tasks, multi-core processors promise to improve the user experience in home and business environments.
Key words- multi core, architecture, wide dynamic execution, smart cache, smart memory access.
1. INTRODUCTION
One constant in computing is that the world’s hunger for faster performance is never satisfied. Every new performance advance in processors leads to another level of greater performance demands from businesses and consumers. Today these performance demands are not just for speed, but also for smaller, more powerful mobile devices, longer battery life, quieter desktop PCs, and—in the enterprise—better price/performance per watt and lower cooling costs. People want improvements in productivity, security, multitasking, data protection, game performance, and many other capabilities. There’s also a growing demand for more convenient form factors for the home, office, data center, and on the go.
Through advances in silicon technology, microarchitecture, software, and platform technologies, Intel is on a fast-paced trajectory to continuously deliver new generations of multi-core processors with the superior performance and energy-efficiency necessary to meet these demands for years to come. A new cadence1 in the microarchitecture arena combined with Intel’s ability to
