Global warming and other environmental problems at this time to be main factor in all searches conducted. A new technology is expected not only to bring an innovation and greater efficiency, but must also have the added value that these technologies should also be friendly to the environment. This is called as green technology.
Intel Corp. as the largest seller of the processor in the world is also concern for environmental problems. The research conducted by Intel at this time to get to the processor with high performance and friendly to the environment. Currently, Intel has created a new innovation, notes that Hi-K materials that can replace SiO2 improve processor performance. In addition, the processor is now more environmentally friendly because they use free of reciprocity.
Intel Corp. Develope of a new microprocessor technology by using Hi-C materials, the material with higher value dielectric constant, and Pb-free (plumbum). Constant dielectric is as parameter in various electronic devices, particularly transistor. The higher K value means higher capacity of the transistor. Therefore, while it is turned off, the electric flow is very little, while turned on; the flow of output is very large. Therefore, by material Hi-K, processors performance will be better.
Then plumbum long used to make the processor as a mixture in the process of welding. But the reciprocity is one of heavy metals and hazardous materials that can harm people and damage the environment. Thus, the use of plumbum need can not be enforced in a way that the search for solutions to overcome problems between them. Intel Corp. research find a replacement, the pond - silver - copper weld (lead free). The advantages of these materials are the melting poin higher than plumbum (220 Celcius), power improved, and friendly environment. Therefore, this Pb-free can improve the performance of a processor and also friendly to the environment. Interactive technology will be the ultimate goal, namely to save life on earth, not shorten the life of the earth.
This family of processors based on Intel Core micro-architecture that is revolutionary Intel reduced the size of processor more than 30 percent. This processor contains 291 million transistors, but only consumes 40 percent more power sparingly. Because of Intel Dynamic Power Coordination and Intel Groundhog Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing, the processor can only drain resources in the vital needed area. Processor that actually promote the Intel Core Duo dual-core technology (two core strength), which is optimized to handle the application process in parallel (multitasking) faster.
Processorss is able to function without a problem when running more than one application, such as e-mail while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan. Chip-dual-core chips also improve the performance of various applications, such as viewing and playing high-definition video, protecting the PC and activities during the business transaction e-commerce.These are a certain level of innovation information owned by Intel Core 2 Duo, such as:
• Intel Wide Dynamic Execution - Improves performance and efficiency.
• Intel Smart Memory Access - Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, and then optimize the use of data bandwidth of the computer.
• Intel Advanced Smart Cache - Have a backup cache or a shared L2 memory to reduce power by minimizing the “traffic”, but to improve the performance of memory, allowing a core to use the entire cache when the other core non-functions.
• Intel Advanced Digital Media pulse - effectively double the speed of execution for instructions of graphics and multimedia algorithm
• Intel 64 - added to the Intel Architecture 32-bit support 64-bit, including the processor that allows you to access a larger memory
• Intel Dynamic Power Coordination - For transition-Intel SpeedStep ® Technology and idle power management phase (C-States) independently for each core can help for efficiency
• Intel Dynamic Bus Parking - Enables you to power batteries and age better by allowing the chipset to power down with the processor in low frequency
• Intel Groundhog Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing - Save energy with a “drain” of the data cache memory system during the period of inactivity to reduce processor voltage
