Nehalem (microarchitecture)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Intel Westmere (microarchitecture))
For other uses, see Nehalem.
Nehalem (pronounced /nəˈheɪləm/[1]) is the codename for an Intel processor microarchitecture, successor to the Core microarchitecture.[2] Nehalem processors use the 45 nm process. A preview system with two Nehalem processors was shown at Intel Developer Forum in 2007. The first processor released with the Nehalem architecture was the desktop Core i7,[3] which was released in November 2008.
Nehalem, a recycled codename, refers to a completely different architecture from Netburst, although Nehalem still has some things in common with NetBurst. Nehalem-based microprocessors utilize higher clock speeds and are more energy-efficient than Penryn microprocessors. Hyper-threading is reintroduced along with an L3 Cache missing from most Core-based microprocessors. Nehalem was replaced with the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, released in January 2011.

[edit] Technology
- Hyper-threading reintroduced.
- 4–12 MB L3 cache
- Second-level branch predictor and translation lookaside buffer
- Native (all processor cores on a single die) quad- and octo-core processors
- Intel QuickPath Interconnect in high-end models replacing the legacy front side bus
- 64 KB L1 cache/core (32 KB L1 Data + 32 KB L1 Instruction) and 256 KB L2 cache/core.
- Integration of PCI Express and DMI into the processor in mid-range models, replacing the northbridge
- Integrated memory controller supporting two or three memory channels of DDR3 SDRAM or four FB-DIMM2 channels
- 2nd generation Intel Virtualization Technology which introduced Extended Page Table support, virtual processor identifiers (VPIDs), and non-maskable interrupt-window exiting [4]
[edit] Performance and power improvements
It has been reported that Nehalem has a focus on performance, thus the increased core size.[5] Compared to Penryn, Nehalem has:
- 10-25% more single-threaded performance / 20-100% more multithreaded performance at the same power level
- 30% lower power usage for the same performance
- Nehalem provides a 15–20% clock-for-clock increase in performance per core(average)
Overclocking is possible with Bloomfield processors and the X58 chipset. Lynnfield processors use a PCH removing the need for a northbridge chipset.[6]
Nehalem processors incorporate SSE 4.2 SIMD instructions, adding 7 new instructions to the SSE 4.1 set in the Core 2 series. The Nehalem architecture reduces atomic operation latency by 50% in an attempt to eliminate atomic overhead .[7]
[edit] Westmere
Westmere (formerly Nehalem-C) is the name given to the 32 nm die shrink of Nehalem. The first Westmere-based processors were launched on January 7, 2010.
Westmere's feature improvements from Nehalem as reported:
- Native six-core (Gulftown) and ten-core (Westmere-EX) processors.[8]
- A new set of instructions that gives over 3x the encryption and decryption rate of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) processes compared to before.[9]
- Delivers seven new instructions (AES instruction set or AES-NI) that will be used by the AES algorithm. Also an instruction called PCLMULQDQ (see CLMUL instruction set) that will perform carry-less multiplication for use in cryptography.[10] These instructions will allow the processor to perform hardware-accelerated encryption, not only resulting in faster execution but also protecting against software targeted attacks.
- Integrated graphics, added into the processor package (dual core Arrandale and Clarkdale only).
- Improved virtualization latency.[11]
- New virtualization capability: "VMX Unrestricted mode support," which allows 16-bit guests to run (real mode and big real mode).
- Support for "Huge Pages" of 1 GB in size.
