Intel 6-core Dunnington CPU
Quad-core shmod-core Intel, we need 6 cores or more to keep our uh, web browsers snappy. For Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), each core can process two threads at a time - 16 simultaneous threads per 8-core processor or 32 for dual-processor, 8-core rigs. Intel just launch a 6-core Dunnington-class server CPU platform based on Intel's 45-nm Penryn "tick" architecture. On deck is Intel's second generation Nehalem "tock" architecture with SMT and scalable from 2- to 8-cores. We're talking "dramatic" performance and energy improvements, according to Intel, from a microarchitecture bent on delivering an 8 MB level-3 cache, DDR3-800 memory support, 25.6GB per second Quickpath interconnects (so long Front Side Bus!), an integrated memory controller and optional integrated graphics to high-end servers and eventually laptops. Hear that AMD? Tick, tock goes the clock.
