Penryn

Penryn is the name of the new family of microprocessors multi consistent heart of Intel in a Die-shrink of the Intel Core Architecture of Core 2 Duet and Core 2 Quad. These processors should equip the machines with office starting from 2008.

With this Die-shrink Intel gives up the use of the Dioxyde of silicon like insulator with the profit of the Hafnium, metal having better physical characteristics: less overheating, possibility of engraving with more smoothness the printed circuits. The processors will be indeed engraved with a width of 45 Nm, against 65 Nm for the products of the former generation.

In the version with dual-core, the processors will embark 410 million transistors, against 298 million for the products of the present generation. A good part of these new transistors will be devoted to the increase of the hiding place L2 (which will be of 6Moi in the segment medium-high of range).

With the increase in FSB with 1333 MHz even 1600 MHz, Intel of introducing multiplying coefficients with stage of a half. Models of more than 3Ghz should re-examine the day for the machines general public.

Addition of a major waking state. In this novel mode (Deep Power Down Technology), the bulky memories just like hiding place level 2 (6 Mo in a dual-core) of level 1 are decontaminated and the tension of the processor is lowered, which reduces consumption.
a new manufactoring process of the transistors called " High-k dielectric " a rise in easier Fréquence will allow, and coupled to metal doors (metal spoils transistors) should improve the performances of 20%.
Penryn will also inaugurate the new handset of 50 instructions (47 exactly are introduced with Penryn, the others with the Nehalem), baptized SE, supposed significantly to improve the performances Multimédia of the processor (in particular of 40% in video encoding).

Intel envisages to develop all a new family of processors drawn from these innovations: alternatives intended for the portables, and versions intended for the work stations (improved Xeon).
The architecture which will succeed Penryn will name Nehalem, it should sign the return of the Hyper-Threading and will introduce the first processors Quadruple hearts native of Intel.

The Processors Penryn

Wolfdale

The Wolfdale is a die shrink of Conroe in 45nm, it should be equipped with a FSB 1333Mhz Quad Pumped as well as 6mo of L2 mask and new instruction SE

Penryn & Penryn XE

Penryn is a die shrink of Merom of the Intel Core Architecture intended for the laptops.

Yorkfield & Yorkfield XE

The Yorkfield is a processor quadri-heart of Intel gathering 2 Penryn hearts on same a die, it will thus be equipped with a L2 mask divided 2x6 Mo. According to the furnished informations by Intel Technology Lagrande or TXT. Engraving will be done obviously in 45nm.

Hapertown

Xeon Hapertown will be like each time with Intel the first processors being left for Enhanced Intel Core Architecture. They will introduce a multiplying coefficient either from 1 to 1 but evolving/moving from 0,5 to 0,5.
