Intel vs. AMD: The CPU Landscape in 2009

Intel's new Nehalem processor will be closely followed by AMD's 45nm CPUs. Here's how the CPU will further evolve in the coming year, and what choices you'll face.

Choosing a processor is an exercise in predicting the future. Given the rapid pace of technology, you'd ideally like a CPU—and the other parts of the system—to last a few years. Choose a CPU that's too new and you end up on the pricey, bleeding edge of the envelope. Choose one that's been around too long and you may find yourself struggling to run new software. Whether you're buying a PC, making an upgrade, or building a new system from scratch, you'll face the same problems.
There are also different manufacturers and product lines to consider, though when it comes to the processor game, Intel has been firing on all cylinders while AMD has been playing catch-up. The coming year looks to be more of the same. Both companies are poised to introduce new product lines. Intel is moving forward with a substantially new microarchitecture, whereas AMD is just now making the move to the 45nm manufacturing process, which Intel has been using for nearly a year. The smaller architecture allows CPU manufacturers to build processors that use lower power and run at higher clock speeds, as well as cram more transistors on a CPU die.
Still, moving to 45nm should make AMD somewhat more competitive, at least in the midrange and low-end desktop market. AMD's Phenom processor line had some advantage in certain types of servers, particularly those applications that benefit from low latency memory access. Yet Intel's latest CPU, the Core i7 series, may eliminate or reduce those advantages.
Let's cut through the mystery and take a look at the upcoming year in

AMD Spider Platform Benchmarks

In November of 2007 AMD invited me out to Lake Tahoe to spend some time with its Spider platform machine. Unfortunately I was already scheduled to cover the LA Auto Show the same week so I had to pass. The fine folks at AMD sent me a Spider platform machine a few weeks back to play with and benchmark. This is a different review from what we normally do at I4U since we aren’t testing a graphics card or a CPU specifically, but we are rather testing an entire platform. If you have been wondering what the AMD Spider platform with its Phenom quad core and ATI HD 3850 graphics is all about this is the review for you.

Intel Core i7-920: Overclocking

Being the curious sort we tried a variety of different memory and base clock settings coupled with various changes to the VCore remaining. We found that the best overclock for the Intel Core i7-920 was quite easily obtained by setting base clock rate to 180 MHz and using a 250mv default voltage override. This resulted in a clock speed of 3.6 GHz which proved to be rock stable. We were able to attain significantly higher clock speeds that approached 4.0 GHz but we had to use voltages that were a bit to close to the 1.65 Volt limit for our liking. We feel that this is a good starting point and as supporting equipment, motherboard BIOS, and drivers mature this overclock will be significantly higher. We feel that his processor should be able to easily run very close to 4.0 GHz 24-7 with the voltage staying well under the 1.65 Volt limitation and cooling the processor with a quality aftermarket cooler.
You will note in the CPU-Z images below that the multiplier is showing 21 and the core speed reflects 3.7835 GHz. We had inadvertently left turbo mode enabled and the conditions were right for it to boost the multiplier to 21, thus the increase in speed. We kept these image intentionally to show how turbo mode actually works and how confusing it can be if you don't pay attention.

We at Benchmark Reviews feel that to prove the stability of our overclocking results they need to be fully tested. Therefore we run all of our benchmarking tests using not only the stock processor speeds but also the overclocked speeds as well.

NOTE: We included overclocked results in our benchmarking tests utilizing results from our i7-965XE overclocked to 4.035 GHz. These results are fresh from our detailed review of the Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition.

Intel Core i7-920

Up until this juncture we have talked about features and specifications that generally apply to the entire Intel Core i7 Processor family. It's now time to focus solely on the i7-920 and look at the features this processor brings to the table that cause it to be called the Extreme Edition. The Core i7-920 derives its 2.66 GHz clock rate by multiplying the system's 133MHz base clock by the i7-920's standard multiplier of 20. Unfortunately the i7-920 has a locked multiplier the only exception is when turbo mode is activated and the conditions are right; in this case turbomode will automatically boost the base clock multiplier of 20 to 21, giving the you essentially 133 MHz of extra processing power without ever touching the first setting

Core i7-920 Specifications

As you probably know by now the Intel Core series of processors is not just a rehash of its previous Core 2 Duo technology. Instead it uses a completely unique design that embraces much of the new Nehalem technology fully described in "First the Tick, Now the Tock: Next Generation IntelMicroarchitecture (Nehalem)". Intel has gone to great lengths to avoid having their newest product entitled "just another revision" by their consumer market. They have shown their confidence in the Intel Core series by making this product launch the biggest and arguably the best in their history, even in a time where the ecoWith the Core i7 series Intel has produced their first true, native quad-core processor which incorporates multiple cores on a single processor die. This is unlike the existing Core 2 Quads which feature two dual core processor dies mounted on a single piece of silicon. The Core i7 processors also eliminate the need for the Northbridge chipset to manage system memory and link it to the processor with integrated, on die memory controller which links the processor directly to the system memory. You might be asking yourself: Isn't this design is eerily similar to the AMD Phenom? From this limited point of reference you would be right. nomy is less than prosperous.

Intel Core i7-920

On November 3, Benchmark Reviews had the pleasure of publishing our first in a series of articles and reviews covering Intel's newest processor series, the Core i7. As we alluded to in that article the time frame from receiving our review kit to publishing the finished product was only a matter of days, so something had to give. We opted to stick with the basics and present a general overview of the entire product. As a result we had to omit many of the extras we would have normally included in a feature article of this type. Since the release of that article we have had a number of our readers request future articles in our series that deal more with with the specifics of each processor. The same group was somewhat adamant that we showcase both performance tuning and the overclocking capabilities of each product.
Today we are releasing the third review in our Core i7 series which focuses on the features and performance of the Intel Core i7-920. The Core i7-920 is considered to be the processor for the mainstream consumer primarily because of its price to performance ratio. The i7-920 doesn't have the unlocked multipliers that its more mature sibling does, but it is still a quite capable chip with its 2.66 GHz factory clock. We intend to share all of our findings and hope after reading this review you will have a much better understanding of the Core i7 family in general and the i7-920 in specific. We also plan to go into as complete of a discussion as possible on everything you can do to enhance capabilities this processor brings to the table. Unfortunately we don't have a QX9770, Intel's previous "King of the Hill", to compare the i7-920 to; but we should note that in all the test results we've seen the i7-920 outperforms the QX9770 in all processor dependant tasks. So the only true competition for the i7-920 are the other members of the Core i7 family which we will be testing for comparison purposes.
In our first article, Intel Core i7 CPU & DX58SO X58 Platform we covered most of the available information regarding both the Nehalem Technology and the architecture used with the Intel Core i7 Processor family. We will therefore not repeat that discussion, instead; our goal today is to spend most of our energy concentrating on those features and performance aspects of the Intel Core i7-920 (model BX80601920) that have led it and its other i7 kin to be dubbed "The Fastest Processor on the Planet" by Intel.

Intel® Processor Numbers

Make informed decisions
Once you have decided on the processor brand family that is right for you, Intel processor numbers allow you to quickly differentiate among processors within that product brand family. The numbers are based on a variety of features that may include the processor's underlying architecture, cache, Front Side Bus, clock speed, power and other Intel technologies.
A processor number:
Represents a broad set of features that can influence overall computing experience
Differentiates the relative features within a processor brand family (e.g. within the Intel® Core™2 processor family or within the Intel® Xeon® processor family)
The processor number is not a measurement of performance
Is one of several factors, along with processor brand, specific system configurations and system-level benchmarks, to be considered when choosing the right processor for you.

Intel Plans Medfield Next Generation Atom Processor by 2010

Intel Atom processor has gained much traction after its successful launch back to April time frame. While Intel is still pushing hard to get all its current processors volume up especially in current economic situation, it has never stopped in investing and providing all the next generation processors targeted for huge netbook or nettop market shares. Previously we talked about Pineview as a next follow on product after Intel Atom Z or N-series, some may wonder what will be the next? A recently release roadmap from Intel Mobile Division has unveiled an even newer version of Intel Atom product that is planned on 2010. Codenamed as Medfield, it is claimed to be even more powerful and much more thermally efficient as compared to current and next release Pineview processor.

Toshiba Satellite U405-S2830

The good: Stylish new design; charges USB devices, even when off.
The bad: Glossy finish attracts fingerprints; way too much bloatware; Sleep-and-Charge feature is turned off by default.
The bottom line: Toshiba's thin-and-light Satellite U405 is a sleek alternative to the 13-inch MacBook, but is weighed down by excessive out-of-the-box bloatware.
Specifications: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.1 GHz) ; RAM installed: 3 GB DDR2 SDRAM ; Weight: 4.9 lbs ; See full specs

Gateway FX6800-01e

The good: Unique case design with useful extras; second graphics card slot.
The bad: Competing Dell PC has twice the RAM and faster performance as a result.
The bottom line: With lots of useful features (some cleverly hidden), Gateway's FX6800-01e stands out from the boring mainstream pack. It also uses Intel's new CPU and motherboard combination to provide speed and upgradeability. You can find faster PCs for a similar price, but few with this much promise.

Centrino

Centrino is a platform-marketing initiative from Intel. It is not a mobile CPU - rather, the term covers a particular combination of mainboard chipset, mobile CPU and wireless network interface in the design of a laptop. Intel claimed that systems equipped with these technologies should deliver better performance, longer battery life and broad wireless network interoperability.

Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processors

Offering Industry-Leading Performance-Per-Watt and Superior Virtualization capabilities
Building on the strengths of the original Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor, the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor represents the most thermally efficient, highest performing server and workstation processor that AMD has ever produced – while further enhancing AMD’s already leading capabilities for efficient server virtualization.

AMD Opteron processors also enable stable, long-term server and workstation solutions with industry-leading performance and energy efficiency. They’re designed to simplify your IT management — now and in the future.



Superior Virtualization
Designed around a market-tested architecture, the enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor eases the transition to a virtualized environment by going way beyond mere gigahertz. Because in virtualized systems, where hardware resources are shared, performance means more than just raw clock speed. You need rapid memory access; our experience shows us that virtualized servers demand as much as 5x the memory bandwidth of standard servers. You also need massive I/O capabilities to address the contention for shared storage space. Which is why our Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor was built on AMD Direct Connect Architecture, an innovative technology that directly connects the processor core to memory, so big workload spikes aren't a problem

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Retail

Are you a leader of the pack hunting for monster performance? Well the hunt ends here! With four execution cores, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded applications. Whether you're creating multimedia, annihilating your gaming enemies, or running compute-intensive applications at one time, new quad-core processing will change the way you do everything. Pioneer the new world of quad-core and unleash the power of multithreading.

The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is at the center of today’s most interactive and content rich software experiences. The evolving set of threaded multi-media applications, including digital content creation, will shine as users are able to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater visualization and realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering can be distributed across each of the four complete execution cores and run in parallel.

What is dual core?

In order to use dual-core technology to its best advantage, the operating system and the applications need to support thread-level parallelism--which basically means running multiple execution threads simultaneously. Microsoft Windows XP and more than 200 applications, such as Adobe Photoshop CS and Roxio VideoWave 7, are multithreaded. Most of today's multithreaded applications are of the content-creation ilk, which tend to perform many operations in parallel.

As dual-core technology becomes more prevalent, you can expect to see more multithreaded apps become commonplace--for example, 3D-intensive games can take advantage of dual-core technology by using more robust physics and AI engines for more realistic effects and gameplay. But since Windows XP itself is multithreaded, you don't necessarily have to be running multithreaded apps to see a performance gain. Windows is a multitasking environment, and as such, there are usually applications running in both the foreground, such as the browser you are using to read this, and the background, such as real-time virus scanning. A dual-core processor should execute the multiple threads of these applications more efficiently.

CNET Labs has already begun testing and benchmarking Yonah-fueled laptops from Dell, HP, Sony, and WidowPC. We look forward to bringing you our results and reviews during the next few weeks.

Intel debuts Core Duo: dual-core processors come to laptops

In a keynote speech today by CEO Paul Otellini at CES in Las Vegas, Intel officially unveiled its new Centrino Duo Mobile Technology. The centerpiece of the Duo Mobile chipset, previously code-named Napa, is Intel's Core Duo chip, which places two mobile processing cores on one chip. Two other components, Intel's Mobile 945 chipset and Pro/Wireless 3945a/b/g chip, are also part of the new chipset. A single-core version of the new technology is called Core Solo. In addition to powering the next generation of laptops, Duo will be at the center of Intel's new Viiv platform, which will seek to firmly place PCs at the center of home entertainment.

According to an Intel executive who briefed CNET in December 2005, the Core Duo chip is expected to deliver a 68 percent performance gain over Intel's current Sonoma single-core processors and reduce battery consumption by 28 percent. Such a gain would help to bridge the considerable performance gap between mobile and desktop PCs.

Sources at several major laptop manufacturers, however, have suggested privately that Yonah's performance gain will be more modest for the average user, closer to 30 percent. Still, even a boost of 30 percent would eclipse the gains derived from incremental bumps in clock speed that mobile processors have received over the past two years.

Among an array of expected benefits for consumers using dual-core-equipped laptops are improved gaming and multitasking performance. In a Quake 4 demo run by Intel executives, a dual-core laptop delivered approximately 50 percent more frames per second than a single-core laptop. Unlike Quake 4, which is multithreaded, most of today's software applications are not optimized to take advantage of dual-core processing.

Intel executives said that Core Duo's more efficient power consumption will mean that users can expect to get 5 hours of battery life from a standard battery and 10 hours from an extended cell. By comparison, on today's single-core laptops, CNET Labs sees an average of approximately 3 hours from a standard cell and 5 to 7 hours from an extended battery.

Dual-core architecture will also influence computer design, allowing for smaller, quieter laptops and desktop PCs. Intel expects Core Duo to make its way into 230 different notebook designs in the first half of 2006.

Intel also stated that the Core Duo platform will support the next version of Microsoft Windows, code-named Vista.

Intel is not the only one with big plans for 2006. AMD is expected to bring out a dual-core version of its mobile Turion chip in the first half of 2006. AMD's Athlon 64 X2 chip recently bested Intel's desktop dual-core chip in head-to-head testing by CNET Labs.

Clearly, dual core is a major milestone for laptops and will be a dominant force in mobile computing during 2006. To get you situated, we offer you a rundown of the first dual-core products you'll see and a brief overview of the technology.

The first dual-core laptops
Though Intel's first dual-core desktop processors debuted in high-end desktops, such as the Dell Dimension XPS Gen 5, we've already had a sneak peek at a variety of models--from desktop replacements to ultraportables--that incorporate the new chips.

Dell's first dual-core laptop, the e1705, inaugurates the company's new "entertainment" line of laptops, complementing its existing "premium" XPS line. The e1705 will replace the Inspiron 9300 and will raise the bar on the type of specs you can expect to see in desktop-replacement multimedia machines in 2006. In addition to Intel's Core Duo T2400 processor, which contains two 1.83GHz cores, the e1705 will be equipped with the Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 GPU, a Serial ATA hard drive, and faster RAM and frontside bus (667MHz, compared to the previous generation's 533MHz speed). A high-end configuration of the e1705 will start shipping on January 16 for $2,299.

HP will be updating its flagship thin-and-light Pavilion dv1000 with dual-core technology. The new dv1000 will also receive a new remote, which fits in the system's new PCI Express card slot, along with an optional built-in Webcam and an enhanced version of QuickPlay, the company's homegrown media player, which can play CDs and DVDs with or without first booting the Windows OS. Pricing and availability for the new dv1000 is not yet known

Intel Core

The Core brand refers to Intel's 32-bit mobile dual-core x86 CPUs that derived from the Pentium M branded processors. The processor family used a more advanced version of the Intel P6 microarchitecture. It emerged in parallel with the NetBurst (Intel P68) microarchitecture of the Pentium 4 brand, and was a precursor of the 64-bit Core microarchitecture of Core 2 branded CPUs. The Core brand comprised two branches: the Duo (dual-core) and Solo (Duo with one disabled core, which replaced the Pentium M brand of single-core mobile processor).

The Core brand was launched on January 5, 2006 by the release of the 32-bit Yonah CPU - Intel's first dual-core mobile (low-power) processor. Its dual-core layout closely resembled two interconnected Pentium M branded CPUs packaged as a single die (piece) silicon chip (IC). Hence, the 32-bit microarchitecture of Core branded CPUs - contrary to its name - had more in common with Pentium M branded CPUs than with the subsequent 64-bit Core microarchitecture of Core 2 branded CPUs. Despite a major rebranding effort by Intel starting January 2006, some computers with the Yonah core continued to be marked as Pentium M.

The Core Duo is also famous for being the first Intel processor to ever be used in Apple Macintosh computers. Core Duo signified the beginning of Apple's shift to Intel processors across their entire line.

In 2007, Intel began branding the Yonah core CPUs intended for mainstream mobile computers as Pentium Dual-Core. These are not to be confused with the desktop 64-bit Core microarchitecture CPUs also branded as Pentium Dual-Core.

Intel Plans 32-Core Processor by 2009/2010

It might be time to change our way of thinking about processor speed. Now Intel is hinting at processors with 32 cores available by the end of this decade. Sure, the company predicted 20GHz chips by 2010 a few years ago, but now instead of higher gigahertz numbers, they're talking multiple cores that will result in a processor that will be 15 times faster than today's quickest chips.

Intel has assigned the pet name "Keifer" to the many-core processor project in general and "Gulftown" specifically to its 32-core processor that will be manufactured using a 32nm process, and it will include eight processing nodes, each with four cores. The jaw-dropper is that each one of these cores will be running at a paltry 2GHz, but since there are 32 of them, they'll leave today's processors in the dust. That is, unless Intel thinks of something else between now and then, which wouldn't be all that unusual. – Charlie White
