10 things to know about Intel Mobile Core i7

The Core i7 CPUs currently dominate the market processor speed operation, the model for laptop Mobile, Core i7 will continue to express themselves. Here are 10 things to know about new mobile CPUs dedicated to mobile devices.

Core i7 is equipped with Turbo Boost technology, a form of overclocking (overclocking) Smart

1. Hyper-Threading Technology "marketed"

Four years ago, Hyper-Threading technology (Hyper-Threading) is on the line Intel Pentium 4 processor for desktop. But even the generation of microprocessors for the latest laptop, we have not been integrated manufacturer. Core i7 has four lines of physics, with each of two streams. Operating system will recognize Core i7 with 8 people with Hyper-Threading technology advanced.

2. Cache L3 cache

First time, a processor for mobile devices equipped with L3 cache, which "role play" as central receiving and distribution of information between independently on the same CPU block. The appearance of L3 cache and will play a significant role in improving the speed processors. L3 cache of the Core i7 will fluctuate at 6-8 MB.

3. Goodbye Northbridge - North bridge

Mobile Core i7 chip generation chip is removed above (near the CPU first - the north bridge), the system will be faster, motherboard size is short, beautifully designed models more.

4. Towards DDR3 RAM

Mobile Core i7 chip marks the end of the line DDR2 RAM. System memory controller supports dual channel DDR3, with speeds up to 1333 MHz.

5. Maximum memory 16 GB

PC manufacturers can add four RAM slots on the motherboard for Core i7. That means the maximum memory reaches 16 GB DDR3.

6. Equipped with Turbo Boost Technology

Intel's Turbo Boost technology will automatically allow the cores to run faster than normal levels of activity, improve speed, such as the "energy drinks" for the processor. The people will not work "for hire" their strength to support active people without manipulating the configuration from the user.

These are high-performance chips for desktops and servers, providing a new level of integration and handling of intelligence for the computer.

7. Give priority to speed

Core i7 is not popular with the user-oriented processor power savings, which are mainly targeted at gamers world, users can handle high demand.

8. Northbridge (Southbridge) equipped with Intel PM55 Express Chipset

Intel PM55 Express will play an important role in the motherboard design is tomorrow. Generation chipset will support better internal devices and peripherals than previous generation chipsets and Intel's G45, the foundation for mainstream Core i7 and Core i5.

9. Price

Not only faster, chips are also quite cheap. The new generation of laptops equipped with Core i7 may fluctuate in price under $ 2,000.

10. Support dual graphics SLI and CrossFire

With about gamers are looking for new experiences from portable devices, Core i7 processors will thirst long clearance when graphics chipset supports dual channel and use the Nvidia SLI technology and ATI's CrossFire । Obviously this is a significant step forward compared to previous generations. When the laptops use the new processor launch, make sure the world will be the gamers.
