The new substantial bump in microarchitecture came with the introduction of the 45 nm Bloomfield desktop processor in November 2008 on the Nehalem architecture, whose main advantage came from redesigned I/O and memory systems featuring the new Intel QuickPath Interconnect and an integrated memory controller supporting up to three channels of DDR3 memory. Maintaining high instructions per cycle (IPC) on a deeply pipelined and resourced out-of-order execution engine has remained a constant fixture of the Intel Core product group ever since. The first Intel Core desktop processor-and typical family member-came from the Conroe iteration, a 65 nm dual-core design fabricated brought to market in July 2006, based on the Intel Core microarchitecture with substantial enhancements in micro-architectural efficiency and performance, outperforming Pentium 4 across the board (or near to it), while operating at drastically lower clock rates. These are substantially different in design than the rest of the Intel Core product group, having derived from the Pentium Pro lineage that predated Pentium 4. The first products receiving this designation were the Core Solo and Core Duo Yonah processors for mobile from the Pentium M design tree, fabricated at 65 nm and brought to market in January 2006. 15.1.1 Architecture changes in comparison to Rocket LakeĪlthough Intel Core is a brand that promises no internal consistency or continuity, the processors within this family have been, for the most part, broadly similar.14.2.1 Architecture changes in comparison with Comet Lake.14.1.10 Desktop/tablet processors (Tiger Lake-B).14.1.8 Embedded mobile processors (UP3-class).14.1.6 Mobile processors (Tiger Lake-H35).14.1.5 Mobile processors (Tiger Lake-H).14.1.1 Architecture changes compared to Ice Lake.13.5 Amber Lake Refresh microarchitecture.13.4 Comet Lake Refresh microarchitecture.13.3.1 Architecture changes in Comet Lake-U compared to Whiskey Lake.13.1.1 High-end Desktop processors (X-Series).12.2 Coffee Lake Refresh microarchitecture.12.1.1 High-end Desktop processors (X-Series).11.5.1 Architecture changes compared to Coffee Lake.11.4.1 Architecture changes compared to Kaby Lake Refresh.10.2.6 High-end Desktop processors (X-Series).10.1.1 High-end Desktop processors (X-Series).
