INTEL Core i7-980 Extreme Six-Core

Peak šestijádrový family processor Intel i7 Extreme, which is also known under the codename Nehalem. Is produced by advanced 32nm process and fitted to the latest Socket 1366th Find use in high-performance work or gaming groups.

Nehalem is the codename for mikroarchiterkturu processors developed by Intel. Nehalem is the direct successor of the current Core microarchitecture. This is the most significant changes to the x86 architecture since the Pentium Pro edition in 1995. Nehalem is highly scalable, with different components for different tasks.

A revolutionary new technology is Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), which replaces the outdated FSB. While the FSB, the individual components' pegged to one bus, the QPI are connected directly. This data will be transmitted by the shortest route. Throughput with the current FSB frequency 1600 MHz is 12.8 gigabytes/sec QPI can handle 25.6 gigabytes/s.

Very interesting is the Intel Turbo Boost, which allows overclocking busy cores, or vice versa off underutilized. Overclocking is done by changing multiplier. Each core has its own multiplier, therefore, may be the case when the two cores will be turned off and the remaining two runs each on a different frequency.

Another unique feature is a powerful integrated memory controller, which has a very good memory bandwidth. This is achieved by using triple-channel mode, which uses the current involvement of the three types of DDR3 memory modules. Because the throughput of up to 50% higher than standard dual-channel mode.

Main features:
-6 Nuclei (thus was not a merger of two cores by the FSB as the technology CORE)
-HyperThreading (virtual doubling of the number of cores)
-Intel Turbo Boost (overclocking busy cores, or vice versa off underutilized)
L3 cache, 12 megabytes shared for all cores
-Integrated three-channel DDR3 memory controller, up to 1066 MHz
-Intel QuickPath Interconnect (executive bus for communication with the chipset)
