Although Intel recently acknowledged that it has available models 0.045 m processors, intended for its own needs, nothing was said about the rates of passage to this technical process. Intel plans to master the mass production of 0.045 m processors in the second-half of 2007, the independent sources call the fourth quarter as the date of the debut for processors penryn. .
Associate with the reference to regular analyst Intel reports that the critical moment in the migration to 0.045 m technical process will be in 2008, and the production of 0.065 m processors will be gradually brought to zero , for realizing this fact it is not necessary to wait until - 2008 which will be sufficient to long time, and intel company does not usually extend the change of technological standards by several years. As acknowled the representatives Of intel, similar critical moments occur every two years. Preponderance in favor of 0.065 m processors took place in the present year.
The processors penryn will acquire the new power control modes. Obviously, this will help them to preserve the TDP of not more than 50 W at frequencies more than 3.0 GHz. Expansions SSE4 will include 48 instructions, which must accelerate the fulfillment of complex calculations and work with multimedia. Maximum volume for one dual core crystal will be cache in the second level increased from four to six megas-byte. In this case the area core for sure will decreased in comparison with 0.065 m products.
Factory D 1d in the state of Oregon (USA) at present has already been transferred into 0.045 m technical process. Specifically, here will start the first mass production of 0.045 m processors. We hope that the modernization of the technical process will bring pleasant changes for overclocking amateurs .
