A simple analogy: Pumping water
Using a simple analogy of pumping water from a catchment area, Pump A has 2 cylinders representing the 2 features existing in the Intel® NetBurst™ Microarchitecture and Pump B has 6 cylinders to represent the technology advancements we introduced above.
Pump A : Simulating the Intel® NetBurst™ Microarchitecture | Pump B : Simulating the Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture | ||
| To obtain more water, the pump will have to spin faster. Faster speeds require more power. | The increased capability of this pump allows it to move more water in 1 cycle and therefore, does not require speed to achieve performance. | ||

In the Intel® NetBurst™ Microarchitecture, Intel® Pentium® D processors use high clock speeds to deliver performance. In the new Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture, the Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor uses architecture advances to deliver more computing capacity at slower clock speeds. These features available in the Intel® Core Microarchitecture, Intel Core 2 Duo processors achieve more within 1 clock cycle than the previous generations of dual core processors. Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture delivers outstanding increase in processing output per clock cycle, enabling new levels of performance and power efficiency.
