11.03.2008Microsoft Virtualization Day: Helping IT professionals do more with less
Nick White: Today we're making a series of announcements outlining our company-wide strategy for virtualization from the desktop to the
datacenter.
<...> We have a vision that focuses on businesses employing our virtualization toolset to more simply and
cost-effectively manage their IT environments. We're calling that vision Dynamic IT. Dynamic IT is aiming to help IT professionals get more out of
their computing resources across both server and desktop environments. One of the benefits of this initiative is to enable IT managers to dynamically
make changes or add capacity to their deployments in a matter of minutes instead of hours (or even days). In a phrase, Dynamic IT is about
efficiently getting the necessary resources to users and computers at any given moment and with a minimum of hassle and effort. We expect this vision
to result in a whole new era of datacenter and desktop PC management, all hinging on virtualization technologies and Windows.
Central to the vision of Dynamic IT is the concept of the Optimized Desktop. The Optimized Desktop refers to virtualizing a user's applications
and profile together so that they follow that user, regardless of the location of the PC in use at the moment...

28.01.2009Intel Sheds Light on "Penryn" Enhancements
Intel plans to unleash its
Penryn family processors next
quarter, shortly after AMD
releases Barcelona. Penryn is
the umbrella for all 45nm Core
2 micro architecture products,
including quad-core Xeon
Harpertown, quad-core Core 2
Yorkfield and dual-core Xeon,
Core 2 Wolfdale processors.
On the
surface, Penryn looks like die
shrink of last years Conroe
micro architecture, but Intel
sought additional tweaks to
the micro architecture to
achieve greater performance at
the same clock speeds as
Conroe processors.
Intel improves
existing Wide Dynamic
Execution, Advanced Smart
Cache, Advanced Digital Media
Boost and Intelligent Power
Capability, technologies that
previously made its debut with
Conroe and Merom.
Penryn enhances Wide
Dynamic Execution technology
with a fast radix-16 divider
and improved Virtualization
technology. With a fast
radix-16 divider, the
processor can process 4-bits
per cycle instead of the
2-bits per cycle of Conroe “
doubling the divide
instruction capabilities.
Intel VT technology receives
enhancements that reduce
virtual machine transition
latencies by 25-to-75%. ..

19.06.2008Quick and Dirty Quad-Core "Penryn" Benchmarks
Benchmarks of Intels Penryn based dual-core Wolfdale have appeared a couple times in the past month. The early benchmarks tested engineering sample
processors and showed Wolfdale, on average, performing 5 percent faster, clock for clock then Conroe. However, benchmarks of the quad-core Yorkfield
are virtually non-existent to the public.
Intels Yorkfield is not a native quad-core design. As with Kentsfield, Yorkfield
features two dual-core dice fused together. The design results in each pair of cores having access to its own pool of shared L2 cache. Since Penryn
has more cache, each pair of cores has access to 6MB of L2 for a total of 12MB “ up from the 4MB per pair and 8MB total of Kentsfield.
In addition to the increased cache size, Penryn features faster 24-way associative L2 cache, which cuts off a few clock cycles. Kentsfield
has an 18-way associative L2 cache.

24.08.2007Intel Turbo Memory Gets Lukewarm Welcome from Mobo Producers
Despite of various
demonstrations of how
additional NAND flash cache
can improve performance of
modern computers and take
advantage of Microsoft Windows
Vista additional capabilities,
mainboard makers are still
reluctant to install
appropriate hardware on their
products.
Intel
Turbo Memory (previously
code-named Robson) technology
allows Microsoft Windows Vista
to pre-cache certain types of
data and speed up its loading
by using special NAND
flash-based cache. The new
operating system features an
array of technologies,
including SuperFetch,
ReadyBoost, ReadyDrive, and
ReadyBoot that can take
advantage of the flash cache,
which can also be located on a
system's hard disk drive. But
Intel Turbo Memory does not
come for free. At this point
makers of mainboards can
either install a special Turbo
Memory 1GB module for
desktops, which costs $23,
or install a special type of
Intel's I/O controllers and a
flash memory chip. The latter
option would cost motherboard
makers considerably less: up
to $3 for a south bridge
and from $7 to $10 a
1GB flash chip or chips.

the 955). This new Phenom is based on the same "Deneb" architecture and therefore features 6MB L3 cache, with each core receiving its own dedicated
512KB of L2 cache (2MB total L2 cache). The Phenom II X4 965 also continues AM3 support and remains backwards compatible with AM2/AM2+ motherboards,

14.08.2009Sun leaks 6-core Intel processor details
Late last month in Austria, Intel presented Sun with roadmaps discussing details of its upcoming server platforms, including the fairly secret Xeon
Dunnington and Nehalem architectures. Unfortunately for some, this presentation ended up on Sun's public web server over the weekend.
Dunnington, Intel's 45nm six-core Xeon processor from the Penryn family, will succeed the Xeon Tigerton processor. Whereas Tigerton is
essentially two 65nm Core 2 Duo processors fused on one package, Dunnington will be Intel's first Core 2 Duo processor with three dual-core banks.
Dunnington includes 16MB of L3 cache shared by all six processors. Each pair of cores can also access 3MB of local L2 cache. The end result is a
design very similar to the AMD Barcelona quad-core processor; however, each Barcelona core contains 512KB L2 cache, whereas Dunnington cores share L2
cache in pairs.
To sweeten the deal, all Dunnington processors will be pin-compatible with Intel Tigerton processors, and work with the
existing Clarksboro chipset. Intel's slide claims this processor will launch in the second half of 2008 -- a figure consistent with previous
roadmaps from the company.
