It supports 1156 LGA socket and 2-channel DDR3 RAM. The Nehalem processor has a 64 KB L1 cache, 256 KB per core L2 cache and 4 MB to 12 MB 元 cache which is shared with all the processor cores. Nehalem reintroduced hyper-threading technology which was left out mainly in the initial Core i3 processor models. Nehalem used the 45-nanometer process as opposed to the 65nm or 90nm used by previous architects. Generation Intel Processors Nehalem Nehalem was the Intel processor micro-architecture which was the successor to the initial Core architecture which had certain limitations like inability to increase the clock speed, inefficient pipeline, etc. Intel Processor Generations Intel processor generations simply have an enhanced feature set and speed compared to previous generations. The difference in processor micro-architecture is the main difference in processor generations.

Pentium 1, 2, 3, 4 Celeron Pentium M and Celeron M for mobile devices Pentium Dual Core Core Solo Core Duo Core 2 Duo Core 2 Quad Core i3, i5, i7 The concept of generations mainly comes after the release of the Core i series. Let me list down all the major processor models released by Intel. I will write another article about these later as it requires a lot of discussions. The misconception First of all, many people think that Core i3, i5, and i7 are the processor generations. Processor generations and their differences.Īfter researching a lot, I have enough knowledge that I can write and document the differences which I have found in this article. To my astonishment, there was no complete guide available which could tell clearly about the Intel If there is anything missing in the article, please let me know and I will try to add it as soon as possible. I have updated this article to add all the latest generations released after initially writing this article. I asked the person the difference between first-generation and the fourth generation but he was unable to answer properly, saying that the fourth generation was faster than the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations.
