Intel Redesigns Xeon, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition Processors.Intel's High-End Chips to Receive New Metal LayersCategory: CPU by Anton Shilov [ 03/12/2004 | 12:19 PM ]
Intel Corporation announced changes in the design of the Intel Xeon and Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processors based on 0.13 micron core known as
Starting from The original Intel Xeon processors at 2.40GHz, 2.80GHz, 3.06GHz and 3.20GHz for 2-way server and workstations as well as Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition chips at 3.20GHz and 3.40GHz for powerful desktops contain 6 metal layers, the new chips will have 8 layers. Intel did not explain the necessity for the move to customers, but emphasized that they needed to perform no new qualification activity for the parts. Chipmakers usually add more metal layers into designs either to get some additional functionality or shielding. Extra functionality usually causes changes in specifications of central processing units, while metal layers implemented for shielding purposes do not affect specifications. Additional shielding is typically necessary to improve yields of the chips at current core-clocks or even provide some additional frequency headroom for future products working at or beyond 3.40GHz – the highest speed for Intel’s microprocessors with 2MB of L3 cache. Intel’s spokesman said that the modifications were aimed to improve yields and possibly increase processor availability as a result of the change. Related news
