Illustrated guide to high-k dielectrics and metal gate electrodes

The Penryn processor debuted Intel's 45nm fabrication, and was the first to utilize high-k gate dielectrics and metal gate electrodes. This change in technology was significant for a number of reasons: the processes used were far in advance of Intel's competition it provided a basis on which … [Read more...]

Dual Independent Bus (DIB) – frontside and backside data bus CPU architecture

The Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture - first implemented in the Pentium Pro processor - was created to aid processor bus bandwidth. Having two (dual) independent buses enables the Pentium II processor to access data from either of its buses simultaneously and in parallel, rather than … [Read more...]
