According to the tests results of nehalem generation processors (Core i7 Review) , similar architecture will give the most noticeable boost in limited applications . In the games, for example, the increase will be small, if they are not optimized under multi-core processors efficiently.
Since Intel decided to create multi core processors, the increase rates from one core were slowed down - the addition of core forced Intel to reduce their frequency in order to maintain the processor in a reasonable thermal packet. If in the period from 1991 through 2002 the processors productivity ( Intel ) in the integral operations reached on average 52% per year, then this rate was reduced to 15% per year since 2003.
As we already reported, new generation processor 32 nm sandy bridge, which are prepared for announcement in 2010, can support the expansions LNI with 512 bits registers, which will use larrabee architecture .
According to the existing forecasts, precisely, the introduction of vector commands, which process floating-point numbers, will allow Intel to accelerate the rate of performance growth of its processors. In 2010, when sandy bridge processors (with support to AVX expansions with 256 bits registers ) will appear , Intel processors can increase their speed by up to 40% per year. Thus, the advantage of new models above previous will become more clear, which will actively stimulate the purchases of new processors. Related Products :
