Intel’s 48 core single-​chip cloud computer one of co-​creator is Intel Banglore(INDIA)

Intel

Intel Labs demon­strated an exper­i­men­tal, 48-​core Intel proces­sor, This chip is 10 to 20 times the pro­cess­ing power of today’s most pop­u­lar Intel Core-​branded proces­sors. It also includes a high-​speed on-​chip net­work along with new power man­age­ment tech­niques allow all 48 cores to oper­ate extremely energy effi­ciently at as low as 25 watts, or at 125 watts at max­i­mum per­for­mance.

Intel Westmere (32nm) Samples Shipped Already to its Partners

Intel 32nm Processor

As We know Intel already Demon­strated the work­ing 32nm proces­sor. Paul Otellini, Intel’s CEO has revealed that Intel already shipped its new 32nm West­mere sam­ples to its part­ners. These proces­sors are expected by this end of year.

Intel Demonstrates First Working 32nm-​based processor

intel 32nm processor Disclosure

10th, Feb 2009 San Fran­cisco, Intel corp, World’s largest semi­con­duc­tor com­pany demon­strated the first work­ing 32nm proces­sor. Intel Cor­po­ra­tion dis­cussed new mile­stones for 32nm man­u­fac­tur­ing and progress toward future products.

Intel 32nm Processor

Work­ing intel 32nm processor

Sum­mary of the Roadmap at the brief­ing in San Francisco:

First-​ever demon­stra­tion of a work­ing 32nm-​based microprocessor:

  • Intel is demon­strat­ing the first 32nm work­ing micro­proces­sor in both mobile and desk­top systems.
  • Great 32nm process and prod­uct health are enabling Intel to accel­er­ate 32nm prod­uct ramp
    • West­mere mobile and desk­top proces­sor pro­duc­tion in the fourth quar­ter of 2009
    • 32nm enables increased per­for­mance and power flexibility
  • Intel proces­sors based on West­mere will ramp into mobile, desk­top, and server seg­ments over time, as the 32nm process ramps

For client, West­mere brings Nehalem through Intel’s main­stream proces­sor prod­uct line

  • Increased per­for­mance, smaller proces­sor core size
  • New multi-​chip pack­age with graph­ics inte­grated in the processor
  • Repar­ti­tioned sys­tem archi­tec­ture, sim­pli­fied motherboards
  • Vol­ume ramp; expect 32nm in server mar­ket in 2010

West­mere key features

  • Intel? Turbo Boost technology
  • Intel? Hyper-​Threading tech­nol­ogy (2 Cores, 4 threads)
  • Inte­grated graph­ics, discrete/​switchable graph­ics support
  • 4MB cache, Inte­grated Mem­ory Con­troller (IMC) – 2ch DDR3
  • AES Instruc­tions

The 32nm process with second-​generation high-​k + metal gate tran­sis­tor allows to deliver new gen­er­a­tions of advanced process tech­nol­ogy on a 2-​year cadence. Intel has devel­oped a 32nm logic tech­nol­ogy with industry-​leading features:

  • Second-​generation high-​k + metal gate transistors
  • 32nm marks the first time Intel uses immer­sion lith­o­g­ra­phy on crit­i­cal layers
  • 9 cop­per + low-​k inter­con­nect layers
  • About 70 per­cent dimen­sion scal­ing from 45nm generation
  • Pb– and halogen-​free packages

Nehalem and It’s Successors

Intel

Nehalem, Intel new archi­tec­ture is not yet offi­cially launched,? But we got infor­ma­tion about it’s suc­ces­sors, on which? intel is work­ing on. The new CPU there­fore fol­low the pat­tern of devel­op­ment “Tick-​Tock”, i.e; a new archi­tec­ture every two years (Tock), fol­lowed by a die shrink (Tick). In exclu­siv­ity, here are the code names of future gen­er­a­tions of proces­sors, and until 2012

Intel TickTock Development Model

  • West Mere (Tick, 2009, 32 nm)
  • Sandy Bridge (Tock, 2010, 32 nm)
  • IVY Bridge (Tick, 2011, 22 nm)
  • Haswell (Tock, 2012, 22 nm)

Cur­rently Pen­ryn (Tick, 2008, 45nm) are avail­able in mar­ket which are engraved in 45nm die. At the end of the 2008 the new gen­er­a­tion Nehalem(Tock, 2008, 45nm) engraved in 45nm die. Then the Westmere(Tick, 2009, 32nm) Nehlam archi­tec­ture engraved in 32nm die. Then comes Sandybridge(Tock, 2010, 32nm) engraved in 32nm die. And it goes to Ivy Bridge(Tick, 2011, 22nm) then to Haswell(Tock,2012,22nm) engraved in 22nm die.

First We talk about Nehalem, Which is suc­ces­sor of core2 archi­tec­ture mainly comes with more num­ber of cores(upto 8), cache, Inte­grated mem­ory con­troller. Nehalem will have 32 KB L1 cache Data, 256 KB L2 cache with very low latency by heart and a L3 cache of vary­ing size (up to 8 MB on the Desk­top ver­sions). Nehalem will also have the Hyper­thread­ing, which allows the exe­cu­tion threads 2 by heart. The effec­tive­ness of this tech­nol­ogy on this type of archi­tec­ture at short pipeline remains questionable.

Sandy Bridge, the next Intel archi­tec­ture. So far about this to the fact that they are man­u­fac­tured in 32 nm would and would likely 2010. It comes with AVX, was not nec­es­sar­ily directly with Sandy Bridge in con­nec­tion. Now, how­ever: Sandy Bridge is the first Intel CPU, the AVX, the SSE suc­ces­sor. Sup­pos­edly AVX sim­i­lar take as SSE 1999 to the Pen­tium proces­sors. The fol­low­ing lists the gross­est film improvements.

AVX with SandybridgeAVX with Sandybridge

  • The exten­sion of the cur­rent SSE reg­is­ters 128 to 256 bits, while remain­ing com­pat­i­ble with 128-​bit SSE instructions.
  • The rearrange­ment advanced data: a sin­gle oper­a­tion can simul­ta­ne­ously han­dle 8 data bits 32
  • The pos­si­bil­ity to use three or four operands

For Sandy­bridge, each core will be given on a 512 KiB large L2 cache, while a 16 MB large L3 cache acces­si­ble to all cores.

Haswell, Planned for 2012 or ear­lier, the fam­ily Haswell suc­ces­sor archi­tec­ture of Sandy Bridge. engraved to 22 nm, they should include 8-​core default, a whole new archi­tec­ture caches, “rev­o­lu­tion­ary” energy sav­ing and the pos­si­bil­ity of board coproces­sors vec­tor pro­cess­ing in a sin­gle pack­age. New instruc­tion set, FMA (Fused Multiply-​Add), which allows simul­ta­ne­ous oper­a­tion of mul­ti­pli­ca­tion and addi­tion via the same instruc­tion, should be implemented.

Calpella – New Intel’s Nehalem-​based laptop platform

Intel

Intel ® recently released the mobile plat­form Centrio2 and head­ing towards nehalem based lap­top plat­form named as “Calpella”. Calpella to sup­port WiMAX in addi­tion to b/​g/​n WiFi. As with other Nehalem gen­er­a­tion prod­ucts, Capella will also rearrange the com­po­nents like aban­don the cur­rent north­bridge and mem­ory con­trol is mov­ing into the CPU pack­age. A sin­gle inte­grated chipset code­named Ibex Peak-​M will pro­vide other fea­tures on the moth­er­board, accord­ing to sources at note­book makers.

Calpella sup­ports Intel’s next-​generation note­book CPUs (Clarks­field and Auburn­dale), both of which include an on-​die DDR3 mem­ory con­troller. Auburn­dale, In addi­tion to on-​die mem­ory will also have a graph­ics core inte­grated in the CPU package.

These are expect to be hit mar­ket in 3rd quar­ter of 2009. as source said.
