Since the launch of the first Core i7 processors in November 2008 ago, one might say that Intel is still occupying the top to the classroom of desktop processors.
The owners of the processor codenamed Bloomfield can be proud of to this day who sits on the processor's Socket 1366 processors are still entered the ranks quickly. The launch of the 2009 Lynnfield yesterday also not yet been able to get rid of domination Bloomfield of desktop processors to upscale.
Over the years, Intel again made a new breakthrough with a new architecture known as Westmere. It begins by introducing six-core processors or also called hexa-core processors.
Indeed, before Intel had launched several new processors for socket 1366. Only the extent such minor increase in clock speed and is still is based Nehalem (codenamed processors - Bloomfield)
Intel Core i7 EE 980X is the first Intel-based processors are supported by six core Hyper-Threading. Therefore, the processor is able to handle 12 threads simultaneously. Three-channel memory support as well as the Turbo Boost feature is still loyal to accompany this CPU. Core i7 980X is built on 32 nm production process, just as the ranks of the Clarkdale processor that was launched some time ago.
Although both built on 32 nm production process, Gulftown different from the Clarkdale (which also use the same 32 nm manufacturing process). This is because the die was purely used for processor cores. In theory, with decreasing production process, the transistors contained therein may be reproduced on the same die size.
