Intel X3230 Product Brief - Page 6

Breakthrough Performance with Enhanced Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture Combining high-performance design with power-efficient technologies, the Intel Core microarchitecture is a foundation for new energy-efficient platforms. Intel Core microarchitecture technologies deliver higher performance/watt compared to previous Intel microarchitectures. Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution. Executes more instructions per clock with as much as a 33 percent wider execution path for each processor core compared to previous Intel microarchitectures. Intel® Intelligent Power Capability. Manages power consumption of all execution units in the core to help optimize energy usage. Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4). Provides building blocks for delivering expanded capabilities, enhanced performance, and greater energy efficiency for many applications. Intel® Advanced Smart Cache. A large on-die cache that reduces latency to data, helping to improve performance and power efficiency. Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost. Executes complete 128-bit instructions in one clock cycle instead of two cycles, as in previous microarchitectures, for improved performance of streaming instructions (SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSE4). The enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture features a new Super Shuffle Engine, which improves existing SSE instructions while enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction set.
