The Intel Core i7 processor is a revolutionary quad-core desktop processor based on the Nehalem microarchitecture. It delivers incredible performance improvements through features like Turbo Boost technology which increases speeds automatically based on workload, 8MB of smart cache that efficiently allocates resources between cores, and improved memory bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s from its integrated memory controller. The Core i7 also includes power efficiency technologies like power gating and a digital thermal sensor for optimized cooling.

3. Intel core i7 is a family of three Intel desktop
processor, the first processor released using the Intel
Nehalem micro architecture and the successor to the
Intel Core 2 family. All three models are quad core
processors

5. The instruction decoder has three decoder units that can
decode one simple instruction per cycle per unit.
The other decoder unit can decode one instruction every
cycle, either simple instruction or complex instruction made
up of several micro-ops.
Instructions made up of more than four micro-ops are
delivered from the MSROM.
Up to four micro-ops can be delivered each cycle to the
instruction decoder queue (IDQ).
The IDQ delivers micro-op stream to the
allocation/renaming stage of the pipeline.

6. It is an higher turbo boosting frequency which
increases its voltage and frequency without violating
the power.
The i7 processor is idle for its power gating, as the
power gating aims to cut the leakage current as well,
thereby further reducing the power consumption of the
idle core.

7. The number of active cores, the estimated current
consumption, and the estimated power consumption.
Normally, the Core i7 processor can operate at
frequencies between 1.5 GHz and 3.2 GHz (the
maximum non-Turbo Boost frequency or the base
frequency) in frequency steps of 133.33 MHz. With
Turbo Boost enabled, the processor can increase the
frequency of cores two further levels to voltage, and
thermal envelope.

8. Intel representatives state that Core i7 is meant to help
consumers decide which processor to purchase as the
ner Nehalem-based products are released in the future.
The name continues the use of the Intel Core brand.
Core i7, first assembled in Costa Rica, was officially
launched on November 17, 2008[11]
And is manufactured in Arizona, New Mexico and
Oregon.

9. QUAD-CORE PROCESSING
Provides four independent execution cores in one processor
package.
Four dedicated processing cores help operating systems and
applications deliver additional performance
End users can experience better multitasking and
multithreaded performance across many types of
applications and workloads.

10. INTEL HYPER-THREADING
With Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, highly threaded
applications can get more work done in parallel, completing
tasks sooner.
With more threads available to the operating system,
multitasking becomes even easier.
INTEL TURBO BOOST TECHNOLOGY
Dynamically increases the processor’s frequency as
needed by taking advantage of thermal and por headroom
when operating below specified limits.
Get more performance automatically, when you need it
the most.

11. 8 MB INTEL SMART CACHE
This large last-level cache enables dynamic and
efficient allocation of shared cache to all four cores to
match the needs of various applications for ultra-
efficient data storage and manipulation
INTEL QUICK PATH INTERCONNECT
Intel’s latest system interconnected design increases
bandwidth and lords latency, while achieving data
transfer speeds as high as 25.6 GB/s.

12. ENABLING EXECUTE DISABLE BIT
FUNCTIONALITY
It requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable
Bit capability and a supporting operating system.
Check with your PC manufacturer on whether
your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality
INTEGRATED MEMORY CONTROLLER
An integrated memory controller with three channels of
DDR3 1066 MHz offers memory performance up to
25.6 GB/s.

13. Combined with the processor’s efficient perfecting
algorithms, this memory controller’s lord latency and
higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing
performance for data-intensive applications.
DIGITAL THERMAL SENSOR (DTS)
Provides for more efficient processor and platform
thermal control improving system acoustics.
The DTS continuously measures the temperature at
each processing core.
The ability to continuously measure and detect
variations in processor temperature enables system fans
to spin only as fast as needed to cool the system.

14. INTEL WIDE DYNAMIC EXECUTION
Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering
more instructions per clock cycle.
Each core can complete up to four full instructions
simultaneously
INTEL SMART MEMORY ACCESS
Improves system performance by optimizing the use of
the available data bandwidth from the memory
subsystem and reducing the effective latency of
memory accesses

15. Nearly all modern CPUs represent numbers in
binary form; with each digit being represented by some
two-valued physical quantity such as a "high" or "low"
voltage related to number representation is the size and
precision of numbers that a CPU can represent.
15
17. In the case of a binary CPU, a bit refers to one significant
place in the numbers a CPU deals with.
The number of bits (or numeral places) a CPU uses to
represent numbers is often called "word size", "bit
width", "data path width", or "integer precision" when
dealing with strictly integer numbers (as opposed to
floating point).
This number differs between architectures, and often
within different parts of the very same CPU
17
18. The performance or speed of a processor depends on
e.g. the clock rate and the Instructions per Clock (IPC),
which together are the factors for the Instructions Per
Second(IPS) that the CPU can perform.
Many reported IPS values have represented "peak"
execution rates on artificial instruction sequences with
few branches, whereas realistic workloads consist of a
mix of instructions and applications, some of which
take longer to execute than others.
