INTEL® QUICKPATH ARCHITECTURE• Earlier, when a Memory Action is performed; control signals followed the
following path: Memory Controllers Processor Memory Controllers Main Memory
• Small Architectural change which realized significant increase in Memory Accessing Time, i.e. Memory Controller + Processor
Intel® QuickPath Architecture features an Integrated Memory Controller and
High-Speed Interconnect Bus linking processors and other components to deliver:
Dynamically scalable interconnect bandwidth Outstanding memory performance and flexibility Tightly integrated interconnect reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) Optimal balance of price, performance, and energy efficiency.

8MB INTEL® SMART CACHE TECHNOLOGY (3-LEVEL CACHE HIERARCHY)
• Shared L2 cache is not suited to a native quad-core architecture as different cores can too frequently flush data needed by another core.
• Therefore in this NEHALAM architecture, each core is provided with a Level 2 cache of its own. Since it’s dedicated to a single core and relatively small (256 KB), enabled it to endow with very high performance; latency.
• Then comes the enormous 8MB L3 cache for managing communications between cores.
• ADVANTAGE OF CACHE HIERARCHY:If a core tries to access a data item and it’s not present in the Level 3 cache, there’s no need to look in the other cores’ private caches—the data item won’t be there either.
• DISADVANTAGE OF CACHE HIERARCHY:Wasting part of the cache memory with data that is already in other cache levels.

INTEL® HT TECHNOLOGY (HYPER THREADING TECHNOLOGY)
• In Hyper-Threading Technology the computer has one physical processor , but OS will see two logical processors and treat the system as if there were actually two processors.
• Improves the performance under multi-tasking environments.• Intel HT Technology provides hardware multi-threading
capability with a single physical package by using shared execution resources in a processor core.
• Architecturally, a processor that supports Intel HT Technology consists of two or more logical processors, each of which has its own architectural state.
• Each logical processor consists of a full set of data registers, segment registers, control registers, debug registers, and most of the MSRs. Each also has its own Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller

INTEL® TURBO BOOST TECHNOLOGY• Activated when OS demands highest performance from the
processor by scaling the operating frequency of the processor if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
• It’s design concept in referred to as Dynamic Clocking.• When just one or two cores are being actively used; whatever
power the other two or three cores would have been consumed is redirected to the active cores.
• Turbo Boost can increase the frequency of all four cores until they're running as fast as they can for the current workload.
• The upper limit of Intel Turbo Boost Technology on a given workload is set by: (i) Number of active cores (ii) Estimated current consumption (iii) Estimated power consumption (iv)Processor temperature
