Information About

Tukwila Processor






Tukwila is the code-name for a future generation of s ( Multi-core ) and SMT techniques. The engineers said to be working on this project are ones acquired from the DEC Alpha effort, the EV8 iteration of which was to be focused on SMT.

It is thought that the chip will have at least 4 processor cores; it may only be able to run at full rated clock with some of them deactivated. In this way it can be configured for highest multithreaded performance or highest single thread performance, while staying within its thermal limits.


XEON COMPATIBILITY

It has been publicly disclosed that Tukwila and its associated chipset would bring socket compatibility between Intel's .

Tukwila is reported to have four "full" CSI links and two "half" links {Link without Title}

Although Tukwila would be the first Itanium processor to feature CSI, the first Xeon processor with CSI would have been codenamed , the CSI roadmap for Xeon processors has been delayed until at least 2008 or 2009.


TRIVIA

Tukwila was previously code-named '''Tanglewood''' the name coincides with the Tanglewood Music Festival , and Intel renamed the project in late 2003 .
