ISSCC, speaks of the new Intel Xeon processor and System on a Chip

[Arley]

"At the International Solid-State Circuits Conference Intel engineers will present fifteen new technical documentation focused on many topics"


ISSCC will be the event, scheduled for next week in San Francisco, to take the scenario of a major conference of Intel technology with the American colossus will analyze some aspects of the Nehalem microarchitecture and will provide important details about a new type of system on a chip for handheld products.

Intel engineers also analyze new techniques for integration of WLAN and WWAN chip within the same processor to be able to increase significantly and substantial performance.

As for Nehalem, will speak to Mark Bohr, Intel Fellow Senio: the real topic of discussion is not so much the architecture to 45 nm of the American colossus, already analyzed in detail on many occasions, as the next Xeon processors and eight cores, developed with Nehalem microarchitecture. The processor in question, currently known by the code name of Nehalem-EX is characterized by the presence of 2.3 billion transistors, and is expected on the server market later this year.

Intel also discussed an issue that now drives since 2007, the reality MID, analyzing new types of SOC (System on a chip) that will underpin the development of new models of ultra-portable devices.

A particularly interesting that, in our opinion, deserves to be underlined concerns that Intel sees convergence, although in a future front, between the CPU and SOC. At a conference held to present the event to be held next week the same Bohr said:

"Chips are much more than just digital logic. They are really complex systems on a chip that involve digital logic, memory circuits, analog circuits, on die sensors and adaptive circuits ... In the future SOC products will merge more and more of these systems components onto a single chip or at least within a single package. "

The next step will be for Intel to bring support for Bluetooth networks, WiFi and WiMax in the processor, which only then we will like to emphasize the integration of the component graph.

better way. for now the external vga go well .... it is better to integrate the bluetooth .. WiMAX wifi .... and so will not use the most annoying usb ..... and there will be no more driver problems .. because I assume everything will be much more stable ... and also improve the latency in transmission.

the risk that the frequency overclock Integrated Defense SGAM us and we send the army at home
