" Core i7 is the latest installment of Intel's "Tick-Tock" strategy of annual processor updates. With Tick-Tock Intel has committed for the foreseeable future to rolling out a brand new CPU architecture one year followed by a shrink in transistor size the next.
Core i7 is a "Tick" and therefore represents a new architecture built on Intel's existing
(and extremely successful) 45nm high-K silicon process. The big noise with the Nehalem architecture is improved multi -threaded performance scaling.
That means more threads, more bandwidth, more efficient load balancing - just more of everything that matters for high performance parallel computing. And not just any parallel computing. Intel has been making a big fuss about the coming age of visual computing – advanced graphical interfaces, context aware computers capable of observing human behaviour, intelligent video and photo search and much, much more.
Core i7 is the first chip designed with that new computing paradigm in mind..."
