To the end of year intel company prepares to present the family of processors penryn, which is the continuer of the traditions architecture conroe, only in the miniature, it is more precise, the processor will be released with thinner technical process , as is known, on 45- nm standards. Processors core penryn will be supported by popular operating systems Windows vista, XP, Linux and Mac OS X.
Penryn will have new instructions collection SSE (already 4 versions) and larger volume cache, which must by positive means affect the work from multimedia and other tasks.
The operating frequencies processors will exceed 3 GHz, that also was demonstrated at the taking place conference IDF in Peking. The represented here models had the clock frequency 3,33 GHz with 1333 MHz system bus FSB. In this case on each core came on 3 mb cache. Thus, it is 2 core version intel penryn it has parameters 3,33 GHz/1333 MHz FSB/6 mb. L2, and 4- core — 3,33 GHz/1333 MHz FSB/12 mb. L2.
intel excuted tests of dual core and four core processors core penryn. For this was used the motherboard intel D975XBX2 badAxe 2, in which it was installed 2 Gb memory. As the subsystem of video was used video card production ASUS on base of graphic processor geForce 8800 GTX. All this worked under control OS microsoft Windows vista ultimate the 32- bits of version. As the comparison was selected the processor intel core 2 Extreme QX6800.

H.264 codec show up to 18% faster performance with Penryn. Coding video in DivX last version shows 52% superiority in new Hi- k processor. The dual core version penryn is also capable of showing high speed operation with DivX. The advantage 3,33- Hz penryn over 2,93- GHz core 2 Extreme QX6800 in this test reaches 42%, that also there are several. In the tests cinebench r9.5 and R10 we see 25% superiority of new technologies over today's top- solution of company.
In game half life 2: Lost coast we observe 37% superiority penryn over Core 2 Extreme. Also novice confidently conquers QX6800 on the glasses and in the synthetic test of 3DMark06 (CPU), after passing rival to 22%.
New processors must appear already in this year. At first will be represented the rule of processors xeon, and after them there will be only later they are released and table solutions.
