History of Intel processors

Processor Intel, first established in California on July 18, 1968 by Gordon More, Robert Noyce, and Andrew Grove.
Intel's processor development from time to time:

1969-1971
Intel's first microprocessor, the microprocessor 4004. Used on machines Busicom calculator. Having 3,400 transistors, 4 bits, and 60,000 operations / sec.

1972-1974
Appears Microprocessor named Altair. The brains of 8008 which had a power of 2 times that of previous versions of the 4004.

1978
Processor 8086, is a 16-bit processor uses Intel's first 16-bit system bus.

1979
Intel CPU redesign to fit the existing 8-bit hardware. The first PC (1981) has a CPU 8086 which is a 16 bit CPU, but internally. The width of the external data bus was only 8 bits so it is compatible with existing hardware.


1982
It comes with the i286 microprocessor clock frequency 6MHz beginning. Which is then introduced with a clock speed of 8, 10, 12 MHz is used on the IBM PC-AT in 1984.

1985
Intel386 microprocessor, a 32-bit CPU first.

1989
Intel486 is a microprocessor with 1 million first transistor, the clock reaches 100MHz. Marketed to mid 90s.

1993
The next generation is better known as the i586 or Pentium I. It has 3 million transistors, and have the most severe bugs in history. FUEL!

1997
Pentium II has a 450MHz clock and 7.5 million transistors. As well as having level 2 cache (L2).

1998
Appears Celeron processor. Is another variant of the Pentium II, but in the absence of L2. Known as the Pentium II Celeron.

1999
Pentium III. Come up with a slogan: "Internet Streaming Extension". Backed with 44 million transistors.

2000
Born with a Pentium 4 3.8GHz clock reaches, and is able to execute the command much more than before. Pentium 4 has another variant, namely Pentium 4Hyperthreading.

2002
Itanium Processor 2. Is a 64 bit processor, with a maximum clock 1GHz. With 221 million transistors. This processor is not successful in the market, even the name is almost unheard of.

2003
Next is the Pentium M, indicated for Notebook. The Pentium M was created to replace the Pentium 4 in Notebook as wasteful power, and streamline the transistor up to 77 transistors.

2005
Hyperthreading performance coupled with the use of power-style Pentium M. Then sprang DualCore processor which has a maximum clock of 2GHz.

2006
DualCore not been exhausted, the Intel Core2 Duo launches. Which has two cores in one processor, has 300 million transistors, and is able to work up to 3.3GHz. There is also a Core 2 Solo, Core 2 Quad.

Currently the latest notebooks that use Intel processors have started to wear the Intel Core i family. Intel Core i series currently has three variants namely the Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7. All three are the official replacement of the Intel Core 2 line of processors (Core 2 Solo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad). Have 4 cores and 731 million transistors, making the Intel Core i7 be the fastest processor today, as well as the i7 is the first processor with Nehalem technology. Well what else the Nehalem? .

Nehalem was the code name of Intel's microprocessor architecture. Nehalem offers better performance but the power consumption is much less. But what the hell wrote this the advantages of Nehalem?

1. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (HT)
Actually a processor core is not always employed to the fullest. Why? At the core processor that uses two cores, actually not all jobs require 2 core-core, which means that only need to use one core only. But in one of the cores is not necessarily used to the maximum, there are parts of the unused portion as well. Well with Nehalem technology can utilize the unused portion part of it.
Do not understand? Gini deh I love the example: Suppose that in one house there were two people inside (core processor with 2 cores). When one person is being hit, he only needs one hand to sweep and he was still able to reply to sms in hpnya with the other hand.
In conclusion, the two men are two of the core processor. And every person is able to do two jobs at once because it has two hands. This can make the processor work more effective.

2. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
With this feature, the core frequency of the processor automatically increases clock speeds if needed, provided they are below the limits of power, current and temperature of the allowed temperature.
For example: when the user uses a heavyweight applications that require high speed (such as games), then its Turbo Boost will activate in order to achieve maximum speed dynamically so that the application can run comfortably.
