Why your organization should care about: 45nm process technology In early 2007, Intel introduced one of the biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design in 40 years — the use of dramatically different transistor materials to build the hundreds of millions of microscopic 45nm transistors inside Intel® Core 2 processor family. Intel® 45nm high-k metal gate silicon technology is at the heart of the next-generation Intel® Core microarchitecture. With approximately twice the density of Intel® 65nm technology, Intel's 45nm packs about double the number of transistors into the same silicon space. That's more than 400 million transistors for dual-core processors and more than 800 million for quad-core. Intel's 45nm technology enables great performance leaps, up to 50-percent larger L2 cache, and new levels of breakthrough energy efficiency. This transistor breakthrough allows Intel to continue its record-breaking PC, laptop and server processor performance while reducing the amount of electrical leakage from transistors that can hamper chip and PC design, size, power consumption and costs. By increasing transistor switching speeds, this breakthrough enables higher core and bus clock frequencies, thus allowing more performance in the same power and thermal envelope. Intel’s 45nm process technology provides the following improvements over previous 65nm technology: • Approximately twice the transistor density • Five times the reduction in leakage of power • More than 30-percent reduction in transistor switching power These advancements enables Intel to continue delivering faster and more energy-efficient processors that are better for the operational effectiveness, and the environment.

In this age of multi-core processors, the cache architecture of client CPUs are as important as cache size in ensuring better performance. The Intel® Advanced Smart Cache is a multi-core optimized cache that improves performance and efficiency by increasing the probability that each execution core of a dual-core processor can access data from a higher-performance, more-efficient cache subsystem. To accomplish this, Intel® shares L2 cache between cores. Figure 5. Demands on cache are growing (for illustration purposes only) Data Intensive Usages /Apps Multi-tasking Usages 64bits Apps and OSs By sharing L2 caches among each core, the Intel® Advanced Smart Cache also allows each core to dynamically use up to 100 percent of available L2 cache. When one core has minimal cache requirements, other cores can increase their percentage of L2 cache, reducing cache misses and increasing performance. Multi-Core Optimized Cache also enables obtaining data from cache at higher throughput rates. Figure 6.
