AMD K6-3
AMD K6-3 is a model 9 with the code name "Sharptooth", which may have a cache of three levels:
· Little improvement compared to K6-2 unit
· 258 KB L2 cache for a single chip
Plan · three-level cache
· Bus 133 MHz front side only.
· Clock speed of 400 MHz to 450 MHz.
The two 64 KB L1 cache and 256 KB L2 unified with its chip. L2 cache on the die is working at full processor speed as it did on the Pentium Pro, and as is done on the Celeron A and the Xeon processor from Intel.
This will certainly increase the speed much K6! Due to a K6-3 is used on the motherboard Super 7 and the space to the next level of cache L3 cache. The design of three levels of cache are designed to use an existing motherboard up to 2 MB of cache on-board. This should be an L2 cache (on the motherboard) that is used as a three-level cache. This happens automatically, and the larger the cache namapak would much improve its performance!
Pentium III - Katmai
The first of the Intel P6 CPU is the Pentium Pro. Then obtained PentiumII in various types. And the last is a Pentium III. March 1999 Intel introduces a new enhanced MMX2 set to perintayh graphics (including 70 pieces). This command is called Katmai New Instructions (KNI) / New Order Katmai or SSE. This command is intended to enhance the performance of 3D games - such as technology, 3DNow! AMD. Katmai enter a "double precision floating-point single instruction multiple data" / "double precision floating point with a single command a lot of data" (or DPFS SIMD for short) who worked in eight 128-bit registers.
KNI was introduced on the new Pentium III 500 MHz. This processor is very similar to the Pentium II. Using a Slot 1, and differ only in new features such as pemaikaian Katmai and SSE.
These processors are paired on the motherboard with the chip set and slot 1 BX.
This processor has several features:
· Identification Number
· New registers and 70 new orders
Finally, the clock speed was increased to 500 MHz with room for further improvement. Pentium III Xeon (codenamed Tanner) was introduced March 17, 1999. Xeon chips are updated with all the new features of the Pentium III. To take advantage of Intel have announced the Profusion chip set.
Number identifier PSN (Processor Serial Number), unique to each CPU, has led to much talk of security problems. This number is worth 96 bit electronically programmed into each chiop. Surely this means a very wise initiative, which could make electronic commerce and encryption in the Internet to be safe and effective.
GENERATION 7 AMD Athlon K-7
AMD Processor main very shocking Athlon (K7) was introduced in August 1999. Responses Intel (codenamed Foster) can not be expected until the end of 2000.

8th Generation Intel Core 2 Duo
8th-generation processor is Core 2 Duo that was launched in July 2007. This processor uses the x86 microprocessor architecture. Architecture is by Intel called the Intel Core microarchitecture, where the architecture is replacing the old architecture from Intel, called the NetBurst since the year 2000. Use of Core 2 also marks a new era of Intel processors, where Intel's Pentium brand that has been used since 1993 was changed to Intel Core.
At this time the Core 2 design is very different from the NetBurst. NetBurst, which was applied on the Pentium 4 and Pentium D, Intel to put forward a very high clock speed. While the new Core 2 architecture, Intel is emphasizing the increase of the features of the CPU, such as cache size and number of cores present in Core 2 processors. Parties Intel claims power consumption of the new architecture that requires only very little power when compared with the previous Pentium processor line.
Processor Intel Core 2 has features such as EM64T, Virtualization Technology, Execute Disable Bit, and SSE4. Meanwhile, the latest technology which is carried LaGrande Technology, Enhanced SpeedStep Technology, and Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT2).
Here are some of the core processor codenamed contained in the product Intel Core 2, codenamed certainly has the distinction between one another.
Conroe
Core processors from Intel Core 2 Duo's first code-named Conroe. This processor built using 65 nm technology and is intended for desktop use ranks to replace the Pentium 4 and Pentium D. Even the Intel claims that Conroe has 40% better performance than the Pentium D that must have been using a dual core as well. Core 2 Duo only require less power of 40% compared to the Pentium D to produce performance that have been mentioned above.
Processor is already using the core Conroe labeled "E6 × 00". Several types of Conroe that have been circulating in the market is the type of E6300 with sebesar1.86 GHz clock speed, type E6400 with a clock speed of 2.13 GHz, E6600 type with a 2.4 GHz clock speed, and type E6700 with a clock speed of 2.67 GHz. For processors with E6300 and E6400 have type Shared L2 cache of 2 MB, whereas the other type has a L2 cache of 4 MB. The alignment of this processor has a FSB (Front Side Bus) of 1066 MT / s (Megatransfer) and power needed only by 65 Watt TDP (Thermal Design Power).
Based on the testing that there are a few sites that we found, until this paper is derived from the family of Core 2 processors are able to counter enemy's size, which is AMD. And at the moment is equal to 4 GHz overclocking to even, with the type of processor E6600 and E6700 are still able to work stably even if multipliers are extremely limited. These results break the assumption of the overclocker community who think that the processors made by Intel are not for overclocking. The fact of the several processors being tested by several sites, the Intel Core 2 Duo even able to outperform AMD who have long become "king" of the line desktop processor that is used for 3D features primarily Now! Him.
Conroe XE
The next Core processor Conroe XE is currently the subject of much debate. Conroe XE itself is the core processor from Intel Core 2 Extreme, which was launched simultaneously with the Intel Core 2 Duo on July 27, 2006. Conroe XE has more power than Conroe. The first and the only type issued by Intel for the Core 2 Extreme processor line is the X6800 and have been circulating on the market today although the numbers are very limited.
Processor Intel Core 2 are already using Intel Core 2 Extreme Conroe XE core will replace the position of the Pentium 4 Processor EE (Extreme Edition) and dual-core Extreme Edition. Core 2 Extreme has a clock speed of 2.93 GHz and FSB of 1066 MT / s. Family of Conroe XE requires a TDP of only 75 to 80 Watt. In a state full load temperature of X6800 processor generated will not exceed 450C. Others again if its SpeedStep function is in an active state. If active, the processor temperature at idle produced by X6800 just hover around 250C. Quite impressive, considering the previous generation Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition generates heat that can be said to be very high.
Almost the same as Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme has a shared L2 cache of 4 MB is only just the most visible difference from the second Conroe is the speed of each clock speednya only. Actually, to a processor class "Extreme Edition", the difference should be more, not only based on the size of its clock speed alone.
Pentium II has been available in 233, 266, 300, 333.350, 400, 450, and 500 MHz (higher speed appear immediately.) With 8244BX and i810 chip sets Pentium II has a very good performance.

Based on the testing that there are a few sites that we found, until this paper is derived from the family of Core 2 processors are able to counter enemy's size, which is AMD. And at the moment is equal to 4 GHz overclocking to even, with the type of processor E6600 and E6700 are still able to work stably even if multipliers are extremely limited. These results break the assumption of the overclocker community who think that the processors made by Intel are not for overclocking. The fact of the several processors being tested by several sites, the Intel Core 2 Duo even able to outperform AMD who have long become "king" of the line desktop processor that is used for 3D features primarily Now! Him.
Conroe XE
The next Core processor Conroe XE is currently the subject of much debate. Conroe XE itself is the core processor from Intel Core 2 Extreme, which was launched simultaneously with the Intel Core 2 Duo on July 27, 2006. Conroe XE has more power than Conroe. The first and the only type issued by Intel for the Core 2 Extreme processor line is the X6800 and have been circulating on the market today although the numbers are very limited.
Processor Intel Core 2 are already using Intel Core 2 Extreme Conroe XE core will replace the position of the Pentium 4 Processor EE (Extreme Edition) and dual-core Extreme Edition. Core 2 Extreme has a clock speed of 2.93 GHz and FSB of 1066 MT / s. Family of Conroe XE requires a TDP of only 75 to 80 Watt. In a state full load temperature of X6800 processor generated will not exceed 450C. Others again if its SpeedStep function is in an active state. If active, the processor temperature at idle produced by X6800 just hover around 250C. Quite impressive, considering the previous generation Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition generates heat that can be said to be very high.
Almost the same as Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme has a shared L2 cache of 4 MB is only just the most visible difference from the second Conroe is the speed of each clock speednya only. Actually, to a processor class "Extreme Edition", the difference should be more, not only based on the size of its clock speed alone.
