According to Intel's "Tick-Tock" mode, in the past 2009 Intel will update its processors process smoothly to the 32nm times and the end of this year will be released on Sandy Bridge structure of new processors.

It is understood that the Sandy Bridge will have eight core products, while level 3 cache will be expanded to 16MB, AVX (Advanced Vectors Extensions) technology into the biggest bright spot is located.

Is everyone keen Intel new schema processor, we went looking for Pentium4 XE 3.46, Pentium XE 955, Core2 XE X6800, Core2 XE QX6700 Core i7 965 XE and the five Core Netburst-based, respectively, Nehalem, representatives of the three schemas, by today's application software comparison tests, and readers together again and explore the past 10 years Intel processor schema evolution and changes in the course of the performance.

For many Intel platform users, those that are considered "Totem", the word marked with Pentium CPU, is many people dream of flagship processor products, although a generation classic Netburst architecture development are late-bound to long lines and high calorific value was the player.

But Intel subsequently pulled out of the epoch-making Core microarchitecture, I was really let "elated" meal. The efficiency of "implementation" and "performance per watt" as a selling point of Core micro-architecture processors, let people on how to measure processor performance and a new light.

Today's hot sale on the market of Core i3/i5/i7 series products, is based on the Intel latest Nehalem architecture, it joined the QPI, memory controllers, and synchronously multiple threads and other new technologies, the processor execution efficiency further upgrade to Intel continue to play the role of technology leader.

As usual, before the test begins, first let's review this reference measurement of Pentium4 XE 3.46, Pentium XE 955, Core2 XE X6800, Core2 XE QX6700 Core i7 965 XE and these five processors.

You may have discovered, they are without exception are part of Intel's "eXtreme Edition" (XE) series, namely the "Extreme Edition" series of the top processors that are in different stages of undisputed flagship product.
