Intel Core i7 Xtreme VS AMD Phenom II X4

For this occasion I will try to share info and picture of the competitive landscape between Core i7 processor with the Phenom II. The following are some core points we need to know:

Intel Core i7 Codename Nehalem (Corei7 920, 924 / Corei7 EE 965)

This processor officially launched month of november 208 yesterday. What are the advantages possessed by the Core i7 processors other than the claimed "fastest processor on earth"?

>> Intel QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) technology which replaces system FSB on the processor Core2Duo, so the connection between module the memory on the processor Core i7 this can be run faster and with bandwidth bigger.

>> 4 Core processor with 2thread on respective-respective Core so that Core i7 has a total 8 thread. With OS which proper, we will get 8 processor within 1 puck the processor. (windows Vista / windows 7)

>> Integrated MCH with 3 channels DDR3 1066MHz

>> Fabrication 45nm, cache 8Mb, TDP 130W, QPI 4.8/6.4GT/s. socket LGA 1366. For now there is only one chip that is completely compatible with Intel's fastest processor, the Intel X 58 Exp Chipset with ICH 10/10R in Southbridge.

Answer the challenge the market for continue to compete with competitors, AMD soon launch phenom generation of to-2 with repair in several side, among others:

>> AMD 64 with Direct Connect Architecture, can improve system performance by directly connecting the processors, memory controller, input and output into the processor chip.

>> Balanced Smart Cache, providing sufficient cache for all cores.

>> Integrated DDR2 DRAM Controller with AMD Memory Optimizer Technology.

>> AMD Cool n Quiet 3.0 technology.

>> Dual Dynamic Power Management. Power management for power efficiency at the processor core and memory controller.

>> Fabrication 45nm, 8Mb cache, 125W TDP, HT 3.6GT / s, Socket AM2 +. Pretty much compatible chipset is AMD 780G, 790GX, 790FX and NVIDIA nForce 780 SLI.

Tips:

1. Needed, of course, we are not going to buy the processor just to watch a movie with music ring while typing.

2. Technology VS Price, a hall which is reasonable if we pay top dollar for the latest technology at this time.

3. Brand Minded, personal satisfaction factor is more influential than the real performance of the two processors.

4. Availability, the availability of goods is also an important consideration for the purchase of a product.

5. Service and Durability, after sales service and durability of these two products can be considered final.

Conclusion:

>> Core i7 with X58 chipset motherboard will direct you to use DDR3 as memory.

>> Phenom II gives you the option more friendly on the chipset and memory, DDR2 specify not expensive stuff.

>> Review Core i7 prove global warming is still the fastest, while Phenom II give you more solutions save electricity.
