Processor Number

Processor models vary according to clock frequency, supported memory frequency, cache size, and
other supported features. Every year, software developers design programs and applications that
demand and utilize more and more of these elements. When you’re shopping for a new computer, we
recommend you think about tomorrow’s needs as well as today’s, and choose the best processor you
can afford. FOR STANDARD VOLTAGE-M, UM….

Cores/Threads
Cores and threads go hand in hand. Multi-core processors are single chips that contain two or more
distinct processors or execution cores in the same integrated circuit. Multi-threading allows each core to
work on two tasks at once, thereby letting you do more things simultaneously, producing faster, more
efficient results. Now your computer can keep up with even your heaviest multitasking.

Clock Speed
Just like a stopwatch, clock speed measures how fast a processor performs an activity – which activity
depends upon how you plan to use your computer. Clock speed rates are shown in gigahertz (GHz),
which means a billion cycles per second.

Intel® Smart Cache


Cache is a fast storage area where the processor places frequently accessed data. Smart Cache is Intel’s
performance-maximized data storage. It allows each processor core to dynamically utilize up to 100% of
available cache and obtain data from the cache at higher throughput rates. By keeping more data closer
to the processor for fast execution, overall performance is improved. This is of particular benefit when
running rich media titles and games, as well as everyday productivity applications.

Silicon Technology
A nanometer (nm) is one-billionth of a meter. The transistors on Intel’s latest processors are just 32nm
wide, while our previous generation processors are built on 45nm and 65nm architectures. This allows
transistors to be packed more densely, leak less energy, produce less heat and switch faster, which leads
to processors that run faster, use less power, and are more energy-efficient. It also means new features
can be squeezed onto processors, so computer makers can focus on things like extending battery life,
creating ever-sleeker designs and putting new wireless capabilities into devices. Lastly, it means Intel can
keep bringing you better performance at relatively the same or even lower prices over time.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology


Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically redirects power and accelerates performance to match your
workload. Previously, unused portions of the chip would be “turned off,” leaving some cores idle. Intel®
Turbo Boost Technology reroutes that unused performance to the cores that are active, boosting their
performance without wasting power. As a result, you automatically get extra performance whenever
you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don’t.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology


Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology delivers more efficient use of processor resources and improved
performance on multithreaded software. This allows you to run demanding desktop applications
simultaneously while maintaining system responsiveness. For example, Intel® Hyper-Threading
Technology helps multimedia enthusiasts create, edit and encode graphically intensive files while
running background applications, such as virus protection software, without compromise to
performance.

CPU was first developed by Intel in 1974 and is short for Central Processing Unit. The computer CPU is
responsible for handling all instructions and calculation it receives from other hardware components in
the computer and software programs running on the computer. Below is a graphic example of what the
original Intel Pentium processor looks like.

The processor is the computer's brain. It allows the processing of numeric data, meaning information
entered in binary form, and the execution of instructions stored in memory.
