5. • In this section we discuss the generations of INTEL CORE i7 processor
Intel family.
1st generation (Nehalem micro-architecture) :
• 1st gen core i series processors are based on the Nehalem micro-architecture.
• 3rd level cache (up to 12MB).
• Nehalem doesn't need a GPU to handle display.
• It's also faster than previous generations because it can access memory fast.

6. 2nd generation (Sandy Bridge micro-architecture)
• 2nd gen Core i series processors are based on the Sandy Bridge micro-architecture.
• Sandy Bridge also drew less power than Nehalem.
• Sandy Bridge is faster than Nehalem because fetch instructions quicker.
• It support video encode/decode, major vector processing.
• Also, Sandy Bridge can actually play some games on low settings without a graphics
card.

7. 3rd generation (Ivy Bridge micro-architecture)
• 3rd gen Core i series processors are based on the Ivy Bridge micro-architecture.
• Ivy Bridge is about the same as Sandy Bridge.
• Iess power.
• Almost-competent gaming capabilities.
• Adding features to improve floating point performance and a new random number

8. 4th generation (Haswell micro-architecture)
• 4th gen Core i series processors are based on the Haswell microarchitecture.
• featuring one more arithmetic/logic unit.
• one more address generation unit, and better memory controller.
• Haswell also greatly improved the GPU versus Ivy Bridge.
• 128MB L4 cache / dedicated video memory.
• Graphics performance approaching mid-range graphics cards
