THREE DUMB BOYS: HASWELL MICROPROCESSOR

If you are technological people then you must have heard about Intel's upcoming 4^th generation microprocessor HASWELL .

Now i am going to tell you about features of Haswell microprocessor.

Battery Brother

We do not want to sacrifice performance for long battery life. Actually we need both performance as well as long battery life. ’Alaas’ this problem has been solved by Haswell. Haswell provide both a great performance as well as long battery life. This has been achieved by new “3D transistor” technology. This new transistor consumes less power than traditional transistor and has less size (22 nm) than 2D.

More Cooler

As the number of transistor increase in chip or as frequency of processor increase it gets some heating problem as well as. Here we want both high frequency as well as cooler system, again Haswell is solution. This new processor is more cooler than Intel’s predecessor processor.

Game Friend

Haswell will support new version of Direct X, which has not been released yet Direct X 11.1 API. Intel has doubled performance of graphics than its 3^rd gen processor by simply adding more hardware in GPU (Graphic Processor Unit). Most of design or architecture of GPU is same as Ivy Bridge (3^rdgen) architecture. It provides same graphics performance as Ivy Bridge with using half power consumption. It can decode video without disturbing rest of GPU by one dedicated unit Video Quality Engine (VQE). And more it will also support OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.0.

Technical Specifications

You might have heard about Moore’s law, and if you don’t than here it is,

“Number of transistor is doubled on chip of microprocessor every two year.”

Intel has been following this law since its first processor 4004 and again it has followed this law by making smaller transistor and making chip slightly bigger. Here 22nm technology means the size of transistor is 22nm (nanometer).
