Intel's new architecture is extremely fast

The leader of the research team, who dreams of Conroe and Merom cores, promises at least a 20% advantage in the number of operations per hour compared to AMD's Socket 939 processors.

Intel will officially unveil its new architecture next month, drawing on the ideas and technology behind Pentium M processors. It will be published in the second half of the year and is already based on this new central units they will completely re-evaluate the plans so far by both the manufacturer and the customers.

For the time being, the manufacturer's new design is only called NGMA, or Next-Generation Micro-Architecture. The core will use a 14-stage assembly line compared to its predecessor, NetBurstök 31, which is a pretty significant improvement in performance. NGMA can issue 3 instructions instead of 4 per clock signal, thus ensuring a more even and better use of its computing power. From the older developments, the branch prediction unit of the Pentium 4s was taken over, and from the newly released Core Duo, the topology of the cache organization was taken over. As a result, the 4 MB built-in cache will work much more efficiently with a dual-core deployment. Frankenstein processor ready!

Predictions suggest that if Conroe arrives without delay, it will hit AMD's chips scheduled for the second half of the year without a hitch, without the need for the benefits of a built-in memory controller - for the time being, it looks like the latter will be out of Intel for a long time to come.
