Architecture of the 3rd generation Intel Core processor

The architecture of the third-generation Intel Core processor, launched on the market in late 2011 - early 2012, significantly expands the horizons for a modern computer in computing graphics and video. With the new development of the American company, quad-core, executed using 22nm "stones" technology, the speed in processing 3D objects and decoding HD video is almost doubled.

These computing devices are available for several application models. First of all, they are prepared for professionals with their powerful desktop systems, and they will push the old solutions in the market of mobile devices. And, of course, they will find themselves a place in thin clients and just monoblocks for office use.

The architecture of the processor of a new type not only in terms of the size of the process technology is revolutionary, but for the first time three-dimensional Tri-Gate transistors, which were invented for a long time, but not yet used in electronics, were introduced in it.

Fans of playing computer toys will be interested to watch a powerful increase in speed when passing the latest hits of the gaming industry, and all fans of high-definition video will certainly enjoy the smoothness of playing and the brightness of colors previously available only on the screens of cinemas.

As Kirk Scaungen, vice president of Intel Corporation, said: "The architecture of the x86 processor in its third edition for Core was significantly improved, That maybe a twofold improvement in the processing speed of multimedia, but it became a reality.Thus thanks to the continuous development of new technologies, the revolutionary architecture of the Intel processor has long put the company in the market leaders. "

Another well-known person in the world of IT also spoke about the novelty: Gabe Newell, director and co-founder of the world famous brand Valve, who presented the world with Counter Strike, Half Life, the Portal and other superb games, he is full of optimism: "The revolutionary architecture of the 3rd generation Core processor, Gives the fans of PC games tremendous opportunities.The new graphics system Intel HD 4000 will help all lovers of the DOTA series to see the beautiful graphics created by our specialists for the new game - DOTA 2, which passes the stage of open testing. "

Summing up, we can state that a block of such new and breakthrough technologies as Tri-Gate transistors, with which the speed of graphics processing has been increased, the processor architecture has been significantly redesigned and improved, a new 22 nm technical process significantly reduced the heat dissipation (for example, By some estimates, the value of TDP could be reduced almost twofold in comparison with the processors made at 32 nm process technology). And also, coupled with the latest technologies for displaying graphic images and visualization, all the tasks that are used to solve various categories of users using your computer, from viewing Internet pages, to creating video and processing photos, and launching simple games-all these tasks are new The processor will perform much faster, and the picture on the monitors will be sharper and lively than it ever was.

And that's not all, Intel would not have been it if it had not been for the last argument, except for all the above-mentioned advantages of the new microprocessor; all the above-mentioned technologies were able to push technologies for increasing the information transfer speed, which, together with the growth of the total computing power More than 20% consolidates and strengthens the position of the corporation in the market of productive processor solutions.
