Intel® Core™ i7 processor is a revolution in multi-core performance. With faster, intelligent microarchitecture that applies processing power dynamically when needed most, the new Intel Core i7 processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in PC performance. They’re the best desktop processors on the planet.1 For whatever you do, Intel Core i7 processors ensure that you will experience maximum computing performance. The combination of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology2 and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology3 delivers maximum performance for demanding workloads.
Feature Benefit:
Quad-Core Processing: Four dedicated, independent processing cores in one package help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, enabling end users to experience better multitasking and multithreaded performance across diverse applications and workloads.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology3: Delivers two processing threads per physical core for a total of eight threads for massive computational throughput. With Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, highly threaded applications can perform more work in parallel, completing tasks sooner, and freeing users to do more with less wait time.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology2: Dynamically increases the processor’s frequency when needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom. Get more performance automatically, when you need it the most.
8 MB Intel® Smart Cache: This large last-level cache enables dynamic and efficient allocation of shared cache to all four cores to match the needs of various applications for ultra-efficient data storage and manipulation.
Intel® QuickPath Interconnect: Intel’s latest system interconnect design increases bandwidth and lowers latency, while achieving data transfer speeds as high as 25.6 GB/s.
Integrated Memory Controller: An integrated memory controller with three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz offers memory performance up to 25.6 GB/s. Combined with the processor’s efficient prefetching algorithms, this memory controller’s lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
Intel® HD Boost: Includes the full SSE4 instruction set, significantly improving a broad range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications.
Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS): Provides for more efficient processor and platform thermal control, improving system acoustics. By continuously measuring the temperature at each processing core, DTS can detect variations in processor temperature and dynamically enable system fans to spin only as fast as needed to cool the system. Potential benefits include significantly quieter operation.
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution: Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle. Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
Intel® Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by optimizing the use of the available data bandwidth from the memory subsystem and reducing the effective latency of memory accesses.
