Intel’s 45nm Penryn CPU

News is spreading. Penryn is the next upcoming for Intel processor, 45nanometer. According to the Intel roadmap, Penryn family will end within a year. Nehalem will arrive in 2008 and is being designed from the ground up on the 45nm processor. Future will be 32nanometer processor.

Wolfdale will be the desktop version of Penryn, with two cores sharing 6 MB of L2 cache. Yorkfield will feature a dual-die design with two unified level-two (L2) caches. Tom’s hardware had just review the ‘Yorkfield XE’ Intel’s Core 2 Extreme QX9650 with maximum of 4Ghz (overclocked). QX9650 is 3Ghz(Frequency), 2 × 6144 KiB(L2-Cache), 1333 MT/s(FSB), 9x(Multiplier), 130 W(TDP), LGA 775(Socket) and release November 12, 2007 with price $999. It supports MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64 (Intel’s x86-64 implementation), XD bit (an NX bit implementation), iAMT2 (Intel Active Management), Virtualization Technology.

The revision of the Conroe architecture - in order to boost its performance, incorporate new instructions, and, most importantly, reduce power consumption - is right on schedule. Until now, Intel’s Core 2 processors always played second fiddle to AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 processors when it came to power consumption, at least in idle operation. That was also the reason why we built our Solar-Powered PC around an AMD platform. However, this situation has changed with the Penryn core of Intel’s Core 2 Extreme QX9650.
