Intel® Microarchitecture
As the foundation for Intel® processor technology, Intel® microarchitecture employs next-generation, 45nm multi-core technology. Optimized to deliver state-of-the-art features that raise the bar on energy-efficient performance, Intel microarchitecture continues to be the catalyst for innovative new designs.
Key Elements of Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution enables the processor to do multiple things simultaneously, allowing you to do more in less time.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost
Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost accelerates a range of applications including video, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering, and scientific applications.
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
Intel Advanced Smart Cache allows a processor to keep data handy rather than re-computing original data. Intel Advanced Smart Cache increases the probability that each execution core of a multi-core processor can access data from a more efficient cache subsystem. This reduces latency and improves performance.
Intel® Intelligent Power Capability
Each processor self-manages power consumption so when you need computing power, it's there for you. Excellent energy optimization enables Intel® Core™ microarchitecture to deliver even more energy efficiency.
Intel® Smart Memory Access
By using the science of speculative execution, Intel Smart Memory Access anticipates computations that may need to be done, but aren't needed right now. This improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth.
