When the support of technology hyper-Threading from processors wolfdale and Yorkfield was removed, Our sources again addressed about the return Of hyper-Threading in connection with 45 NM processors with architecture nehalem, which will appear in the second-half of 2008. It was assumed that the monolithic layout of the four core representatives of this architecture better was fitted out for the revival of technologies type Of hyper-Threading. The new version of technology will get a new name , and today associates reported that the name of this technology will be similar: Symmetric multi-Threading (SMT). This differ from version multi-Threading technology mentioned earlier, but it is very insignificant , appeared only the determination Of symmetric.
Associates explain, that the number of flows with the use Of multi-Threading will double: for example, four core processor processors will support eight flows, and 8 core processors will have sixteen flows. , precisely, this explains the presence of word symmetric (Engl. symmetrical) in the complete name of technology.
We could ascertain that 45 NM processors penryn don't has any special architectural update in comparison with Conroe . the most noticeable update will become the increase in the cache volume in the second level from 4 to 6mb. Associate reports that 45 NM processors nehalem will acquire the additional collections of commands and will also increase volume cache in the second level - according to some data, to 12 MB. In totality this will ensure increase the performance in the order of 20-40%. Most likely, 12 MB cache will obtain four core processors with the monolithic crystal. intel will hardy go with the considerable increase in the core area within the limits of 45 NM technical process . dual core representatives of architecture nehalem can completely acquire the cache volume like 8 MB, 10 MB. or all 12 MB.
