Why your organization should care about: Energy efficiency Energy prices are continually rising, which translate to a corresponding increase in the energy costs associated with an organization’s IT assets. IT buyers will need to consider computing platforms that can provide higher performance levels at the same or lower energy envelopes. Taking SYSmark* 2007 Preview 1 to represent an accurate mirror of an end user’s real-life activities, organizations can adopt this workload in an energy- efficient performance measurement methodology. The final results of this methodology should report out delivered performance at a given level of energy cost, communicating both performance and the energy cost of delivering that performance. Metrics that attempt to combine delivered performance and energy cost as a ratio is best avoided, as there is not a guaranteed linear correlation of the value of performance or energy costs. Platform choices are more easily made with metrics that clearly articulates both performance and its energy cost. Figure 7 illustrates how Intel® processors fare in terms of performance and energy efficiency when measured using this methodology. Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing.

Why your organization should care about: Core microarchitecture The performance of a client platform is more than just about processor speed. Various aspects of its microarchitecture all contribute to its performance. The Intel® Core Microarchitecture, with its higher performance and low power, is the basis for many new solutions and form factors. Figure 8. Benefits of Intel® Core processor technology innovations Execution engine Media & FP Efficient memory architecture Power efficiency Feature Businesses can get reduced footprints, increased responsiveness, productivity and energy efficiency across client computing platforms. For mobile users, Intel® Core Microarchitecture delivers greater computer performance and battery life, enabling a variety of small form factors that enable world-class computing on the go. Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution Executes 4 instructions per clock cycle Better performance on multiple application types and user environments: • Single and multithreaded apps • Content creation Intel® Advanced Smart Cache Increases efficiency of L2 cache to processor core data transfers • Entertainment/gaming • Entire L2 cache can be allocated to one core • Productivity Intel® Smart Memory Access Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost Intel® Intelligent Power Capability Function Benefit Efficiently feeds data to Intel Wide Dynamic Execution engine • Maximizes main memory to processor bandwidth and reduces latency Allows 128 bit SSE/2/3 instructions to execute in a single clock cycle • Conroe: 65W desktop mainstream TDP • Woodcrest 80W server mainstream & 40W ultra dense TDP • Continued low power mobile platform WHy yOuR ORganizatiOn SHOuld CaRE aBOut Better performance on apps that use SSE instructions: • Video, speech, gaming, multimedia, photo processing • Encryption, financial • Engineering, scientific Helps enable quieter, more power efficient system designs Reduce overall power consumption 10
