Introduction
In the month of November 2008, a period in which the economic crisis that is characterizing the international economy began to emerge clearly in the IT market, Intel presented its new generation of processors for desktop systems. Talking about the cpu Core i7 family, better known by the code name of Nehalem.
Intended to accompany the family of processors Core 2, presented with the first version in July 2006, the Core i7 solutions were immediately placed in the top segment of the range of the desktop processor market, despite prices that in some versions were fully comparable with those of Core 2 Quad cpu on the market. These are the first 3 versions of the Core i7 processor that Intel has entered the market in November, and currently represent the offering of Intel for this type of processors:
Core i7 965 Extreme Edition: clock frequency of 3.2 GHz; QPI bus to 3.2 GHz (6.4 Gigatransfer / sec); L3 cache from 8 Mbytes; DDR3-1600 memory, 130 watts maximum TDP; Overspeed protection disabled;
Core i7 940: clock frequency of 2.93 GHz; QPI bus to 2.4 GHz (4.8 Gigatransfer / sec); L3 cache from 8 Mbytes; DDR3-1066 memory, 130 watts maximum TDP; Overspeed protection enabled.
Core i7 920: clock frequency of 2.66GHz, QPI bus to 2.4 GHz (4.8 Gigatransfer / sec); L3 cache from 8 Mbytes; DDR3-1066 memory, 130 watts maximum TDP; Overspeed protection enabled.
These cpu are characterized by the same basic type of architecture, distinguished by the clock frequency and some other elements. In particular processors Core i7 940 and Core i7 920 is offered by Intel with frequencies QPI and DDR3 memory, respectively, equal to 2.4 GHz (corresponding to 4.8 Giga transfer / sec) and 1066 MHz, while for the CPU Core i7 965 Extreme Edition these go up to 3.2 GHz (6.4 Gigatransfer / sec) and 1600 MHz, however, Intel has made available the appropriate frequency multipliers inside the cpu Core i7 940 and Core i7 920 for the retail channel, so that you can turn to these same specifications of the CPU Core i7 965 Extreme Edition.
During the second quarter Intel will update its range of processors Core i7 family, presenting two new versions of high-end. To replace the CPU Core i7 965 will model the Core i7 975, with a clock frequency of 3.33 GHz to 3.2 GHz processor which will take place. Moving down, the Core i7 940 processor with clock frequency of 2.83 GHz model will be replaced by Core i7 950, characterized by an increase in clock frequency up to 3.06 GHz remains unchanged in other specifications.
