According to Intel: "It's been almost 40 years since Intel Corporation introduced its first microprocessor based on the x86 architecture - Intel 8086. Since its launch on June 8, 1978, the 8086 microprocessors have become the basis for IBM's first personal computers and have literally changed our peace".  Since then, the x86 instruction sets have been constantly expanding and replenished with new sets, so today microprocessors support not hundreds but tens of thousands of commands that accelerate hardware calculations in some way.  The number of patents that protect ISA x86 exceeded 1,600. One of the earliest improvements in the x86 ISA command set was the MMX (MultiMedia eXperience) technology, introduced in 1996, which accelerated calculations related to audio processing, 2D and 3D graphics, video, speech synthesis and recognition, and transmission algorithms Data. The expansion of Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) introduced in 1999 included specialized commands for applications that work with huge amounts of floating-point numbers of single precision (3D geometry, 3D rendering, encoding and decoding video).  Another improvement in SIMD technology was Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2), which optimized streaming over the Internet and appeared in Pentium 4 microprocessors and Intel Xeon processors.  The SSE2 expansion included 144 new 128-bit SIMD instructions that allowed to increase the productivity of multimedia applications, optimize content creation, and work of scientific and engineering applications. "In the years that followed, Intel continued to improve the SIMD capabilities of its processors by introducing the SSE3, SSSE3 and SSE4 extensions, which increased performance in multimedia tasks, in image and 3D graphics applications .In 2011 Intel processors developed the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), AVX2 and AVX-512, which allowed to increase the productivity of systems in such applications and workloads as scientific modeling, financial data analysis, artificial intelligence / depth training, 3D modeling and analysis,  Image processing, audio and video, encryption and data compression. " To accelerate the launch on Intel platforms of applications on separate partitions, a set of Virtual-Machine Extensions (VMX) is introduced, and for productivity increase - Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX).  There is a set of instructions for encryption of AES New Instructions (AES-NI) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) for message authentication, digital signature and data integrity.  Protection from malicious attacks was provided by Intel Memory Protection Extensions (MPE), Intel Safer Mode Extensions (SMX) and the latest development - Software Guard Extensions (SGX), which is a tool for protecting specific code and data from disclosure or modification through the use of protected Memory areas for their execution. Finally, more recently, Intel introduced patented improvements to the command set architecture to support Intel Optane technology, including 3D XPoint, which minimizes latency and improves system performance when performing workloads that have special storage requirements and storage performance.  This development does not end there.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48930 Rating: 10.0/10 (9 votes cast) X86 turns 40	Add Comment ( 1 ) X86 TURNS 40

POSTER: computer news   ||   6-CORE INTEL COFFEE LAKE-S PROCESSORS	DATE:2017-06-10
SiSoftware Sandra database contained 6-core Intel Coffee Lake-S processors.  The commercial launch of these new 14-nm Intel processors is expected in August or September this year.   The base frequency in the 6-core model of Coffee Lake-S with support for 12 computational flows is declared at 3.1 GHz, and the frequency at acceleration is 4.2 GHz.  This is noticeably lower than in the case of the 4-core (8-stream) Intel Core i7-7700K processor running at 4.2 / 4.5 GHz.  The performance of the Intel Core i7-7700K model reaches 151 gigaflops, then the Coffee Lake-S 6C / 12T model shows a performance of up to 64 gigaflops.  To justify this, it is possible to reduce the thermal package from 91 W for Core i7-7700K to 81.2 W for Coffee Lake-S 6C / 12T (according to SiSoftware Sandra's testimony). It also follows from the database readings that the 6-core processor carries 256KB of L2 cache, 12MB  L3 cache, supports DDR4 memory with a frequency of up to 2700 MHz and is based on the Kaby Lake architecture. A six-core processor supporting only six computing streams, which was also found in the SiSoftware Sandra database, promises to get a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz and 9 MB of L3 cache.  Apparently, it will belong to the Intel Core i5 line, while the Coffee Lake-S 6C / 12T will be written in the Intel Core i7 line.

POSTER: computer news   ||    ANDROID-SMARTPHONE ZTE AXON 8 ON SNAPDRAGON 820 WITH 4 GB OF RAM IS SEEN IN GFXBENCH	DATE:2017-06-09
According to rumors, the Chinese company ZTE is working on the creation of   successor to Axon 7. The new smartphone with the model number A2018 is seen in the database of the benchmark GFXBench, so we became aware of its key specifications. The authors of the portal GizmoChina believe that the model number A2018 hides ZTE Axon 8. If this is the case, then the successor to ZTE Axon 7 will receive a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels (Quad HD), 4 GB of operating and 128 GB of internal memory, and Two cameras: 12-megapixel main with LED flash and autofocus and 8-megapixel frontal.  It will be based on last year's flagship chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, which includes a quad-core Kryo processor with a clock speed of 2.1 GHz and an Adreno 530 graphics controller. GFXBench-tested smartphone running the mobile operating system Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The exact announcement date of ZTE Axon 8 is not yet known to us, but considering that ZTE Axon 7 was introduced in May last year, the release of the novelty will take place very soon.  It is not excluded that the new smartphone will appear on the market under the name ZTE Axon 7s, not Axon 8.

Traditionally, Intel corporation added to its official price list with information about the prices for the recently introduced Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors with a little delay, but today it became clear that the manufacturer simply decided to carry out all the latest updates at a time. The assortment of models of processors in the performance of LGA 2066 is still limited to five products, the number of cores of the older does not exceed 10 pieces.  Until now, there is no official data on when a processor with 18 processing cores will appear. At the same time, the prices for the Itanium family of Kittson processors were announced, the last ones among themselves.  New models have model designation, starting with 97xx.
