What is Multi-Core?
y Two or more independent execution cores in the same
processor
y Specific implementations will vary over time - driven by
manufacturing cost efficiencies
– Best mix of product architecture and volume mfg capabilities
– Designed to deliver performance, OEM and end user experience

Intel Strategy – Driving Thread Parallelism
– HT: Better parallelism via utilization of existing resources
– Volume server and desktop in 2002
– Continued thread enabling programs
– Dual Core: Powerful evolution of HT that provides 2 full execution
cores in a single processor
– Volume ramp across all segments (Desktop, Mobile, Server)
– Future Multi-core: Continued processor level parallelism with >=2
cores in a single processor
– Continued scale with Moore’s Law for future volume prods in all segments
