Intel’s 32nm processors Show Clarkdale and Arrandale

At IDF, Intel’s upcoming 32nm processors to discuss his Westmere based. On stage IDF, Intel also demonstrate the next generation core.

Like other descendants of Nehalem, codenamed processors Clarkdale and it will carry Arrandale Intel Turbo Boost feature and HyperThreading technology. Clarkdale and Arrendale but also will have a graphical on-processor graphics and hardware acceleration for AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

Clarkdale and Arrandale an integral part of the upcoming Intel platforms. These chips are produced using Intel’s process technology Hi-K 32nm second generation. They will have two core execution (dual-core), but with HyperThreading will be able to process up to 4 thread simultaneously. Processors will also have the Intel Smart Cache up to 4GB, an Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) which supports two DDR3 memory channels at speeds up to 1333MHz, and Integrated Graphics or Discrete graphics support.

It should be noted that when used discreet graphics, PCI Express lane is reserved for the GPU can be arranged in a 1×16 or 2×8 configuration path, depending on the chipset used. Through the new instructions, the processor will offer accelerated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and will be compatible with Socket LGA1156 chipset and 5 series.

There are some interesting things about the integrated graphics core that will be used Clarkdale and Arrandale. First, although produced in 32nm processor, graphics core will be manufactured at 45nm. This means processors will have a multi-chip packaging and GPU, and GPU will not be united on a single die. IGP will be called the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD, and products derived from the existing Intel graphics. However, it mentioned the new core will offer better performance – about 50% higher than the X4500HD. Mobile version of the new IGP will also have a Turbo mode of his own, which mendongrak or lower clock and voltage of the core, depending on the existing workload.

In this event also exhibited some reference system that was built in Clarkdale. These include thin HTPC systems like mobile reference design with SO-DIMM memory. This little box connected to a Dell LCD, and a cable connected to a pair of both measuring the power to show the lack of power consumption. This system – complete with drives, memory, and processors that run the program Cinebench, consume less power than LCD him, exactly w vs. 40.1, 70.4 d.
