Introduction of Core 2 Quady The Core 2 Quad processor for desktop PCs,

designed to handle massive compute andvisualization workloads enabled by powerful

multi-core technology.y The latest four-core Core 2 Quad processors are

built on 45nm Core micro architecture enablingfaster, cooler, and quieter desktop PC and

workstation experiences.

Core 2 Quad Architecturey The Kentsfield released on November 2, 2006.

Kentsfield, the code name for the quad-core chip.

y It uses 2 dies in a single package and each die is a

dual core unit, for a total of four cores on theprocessor.

y Each core still has 4 MB of shared L2 cache for atotal of 8 MB L2 on the processor.

Core 2 Quad Architecture(Cont..)y If 1 corewants to access data to another core on the

other die the communication occurs over the front-side bus(FSB).

y

The FSB between the processor & chip still runs at1066 MHz .

y The FSB is used for accessing the RAM memory.

y The communication between each pair ofcores can be

done up to 8 GB/s.

Features And Benefits Of Core 2 Quady Wide Dynamic Execution- Enabling delivery of more

instructions per clock cycle to improve execution time andenergy efficiency.

y

Smart Memory Access- Improving system performanceby optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth.yAdvanced Digital Media Boost- Accelerating a broad

range of multimedia, encryption, scientific and financialapplications by significantly improving performance whenexecuting Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE/SSE2/SSE3)instructions.

y Virtualization Technology- Enabling greater security,manageability, and utilization.

Advantages Of Core 2 Quady 64 bit architecture- 64 bit architecture improves

performance by allowing systems to address more than 4GB of both virtual & physical memory.

It provides support for:y 64 bit flat virtual address space

y 64 bit pointers

y 64 bit wide general purpose registers

y

64 bit integer supporty Up to 1 TB of platform address space

y Until recently faster software came from faster processor.

y Now performance will primarily come from multi-core

processor.

Advantages Of Core 2 Quad(Cont..)

y Core 2 Quad = 4 processing cores

More cores enables your computer to multi-task i.e. domore than one thing at a time.

It faster and more efficiently as you have more enginesspreading out the workload amongst themselves i.e. 4cores.

y It improving the system performance , games , multimedia

and others works.
