CPU INTEL AMD Analysis Intel and AMD Comparison

There are now several years that cpu Intel and AMD are available in versions with dual-core architecture, the memory back to the spring of 2005 to meet the first dual-core solutions from cpu Intel and AMD, respectively, in the form of the Pentium D and Athlon X2. The first had been obtained from Intel CPU on the same package alongside two single-core processors , linked together through the front side bus. AMD's approach implies a native design, in which the two cores were then integrated within the same day while maintaining independent L1 and L2 cache each.

If in 2005 was particularly difficult to find areas in which applications can draw a direct benefit from having available to a processor with dual-core architecture, aided by the software architecture optimized for single threaded over the years has specialized hardware that dragged the software development. At present most of the desktop applications of a certain weight, but fans used by users categorized by their nature such as specialist, allows to exploit the presence of two or more cores, at least up to 4. With the debut of Intel Core i7 equipped with quad-core architecture, but capable of processing up to 8 threads in parallel thanks to HyperThreading technology, has reached a limit with some application areas, at least in the desktop: it is difficult to find areas applications where ever able to really exploit the best processing power of these processors.cpu intel amd  I mean

Cpu Intel and AMD in the market is in fact only offer solutions that are equipped with at least 2 cores at home, except for some models that are specifically targeted at desktop systems that use very cheap Celeron and Sempron CPUs, respectively. Considering the market availability of dual and quad core processors for many years we wanted to compare a total of 51 cpu Intel AMD processors, ranging from the current proposals of the two companies up to previous generations of processors. To complete this type of analysis we had to set some constraints to the platform: Socket LGA 775 for Intel and AMD Socket AM2 +, adding to the LGA 1366 socket for Intel Core i7. So lacking in this analysis AMD Athlon 64 X2 first-generation DDR memory and developed to connect to Socket 939 motherboards, but this limitation is not serious because the overall performance of these processors are almost equivalent to the corresponding Athlon X2 for Socket AM2 and DDR2 memory platforms, of course, the same clock frequency.

Let us see what are the processors included in this analysis:

Intel

    * Core i7 9xx: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Quad Q9xxx: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Quad Q8xxx: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Quad Q6xxx: 65-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Duo E8xxx: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Duo E7xxx: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Duo E6xxx: 65-nanometer production technology
    * Core 2 Duo E4xxx: 65-nanometer production technology
    E6xxx * Processor: 45-nanometer production technology
    E5xxx * Processor: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Pentium Extreme Edition 90-nanometer production technology
    * Pentium D: 65-nanometer production technology

AMD

    * Phenom X4 II: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Phenom X3 * II: 45-nanometer production technology
    * Phenom X2: 45 nanometer production technology
    * Phenom X4 65-nanometer production technology
    * Phenom X3: 65-nanometer production technology
    * Athlon X2: 45 nanometer production technology
    * Athlon 64 X2: 90 nanometer production technology

Cpu intel amd with dual-and quad-core architecture, with the exception of the model Pentium Extreme Edition 3.73 GHz processor We have also included it in this comparison of CPU 51 wishing to take the results as a reference point: it is the last CPU Intel Pentium Extreme Edition family, with one of the higher clock frequencies ever produced by Intel and can properly represent the highest performance achievable at a time, the Netburst architecture, in which the clock frequency represented almost all the performance level achieved by a CPU. This processor is single core, but by integrating the HyperThreading technology allows you to handle 2 threads in parallel simultaneously.
