Kartik N. Kalpande presented a seminar on recent Intel microprocessors. The seminar discussed Intel's history starting in 1968, the circuit diagram of the Intel Core i7 microprocessor, and Intel's architecture including SRAMs and the transition from DRAM to microprocessors. Advantages of Intel's recent microprocessors were highlighted such as higher performance from multiprocessor systems, improved cache latency from smart L3 cache, higher data throughput from PCI Express 2.0 and DDR3 memory interfaces, and improved virtualization performance. The seminar concluded that the Core i7 family of processors offers many new and improved features beneficial for applications including testing, measurement, and control.

2. RECENT INTEL
MICROPROCESSOR

3. INTRODUCTION:
Intel Corporation (better known
as Intel) is an
American multinational technology
company headquartered in Santa
Clara, California.

4. HISTORY:
Intel was founded in Mountain View,
California in 1968 by Gordon E.
Moore.

5. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF INTEL MICROPROCESSOR:
INTEL CORE I7

6. ARCHITECTURE:

7. SRAMS and the microprocessor:
Intel's first products were shift
register memory and random-
access memory integrated circuits.

8. From DRAM to microprocessors:
In 1983, at the dawn of the personal
computer era, Intel's profits came
under increased pressure from
Japanese memory-chip
manufacturers.

9. ADVANTAGES:
Higher-Performance
Multiprocessor Systems with QPI:
Not only was the memory controller
moved to the CPU for Nehalem
processors.

10. IMPROVED CACHE LATENCY WITH SMART
L3 CACHE:
Cache is a block of high-speed
memory for temporary data storage
located on the same silicon die as the
CPU.

11. HIGHER DATA-THROUGHPUT VIA PCI
EXPRESS 2.0 AND DDR3 MEMORY INTERFACE:
 To support the need of modern
applications to move data at a faster
rate, the Core i7 processors.

12. IMPROVED VIRTUALIZATION PERFORMANCE:
Virtualization is a technology that
enables running multiple OSs side-
by-side on the same processing
hardware.

13. CONCLUSION:
The Core i7 family of processors
based on the Intel Nehalem micro
architecture offers many new and
improved features that benefit a wide
variety of applications including test,
measurement, and control.
