Intel Tick-Tock

It has been suggested that this article be merged with List of Intel CPU microarchitectures. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2013.

"Tick-Tock" is a model adopted by chip manufacturer Intel Corporation since 2007 to follow every microarchitectural change with a die shrink of the process technology. Every "tick" is a shrinking of process technology of the previous microarchitecture and every "tock" is a new microarchitecture.[1] Every year, there is expected to be one tick or tock.[1]
