Intel Sandy Bridge

INTEL® MICROARCHITECTURE CODENAME SANDY BRIDGE

The next-generation Intel® microarchitecture codename Sandy Bridge is an incredible leap in processor integration and manufacturing. Introduced in the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family, some of the highlights of this new microarchitecture include:
  • Manufactured entirely on Intel® 32nm process technology, delivering yet another leap in performance and energy efficiency beyond previous generation process technologies.
  • All cores plus graphics are integrated on a single chip, enabling new levels of visual experiences on a PC.
  • Even more performance boost when you need it with Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0.
  • Yet another step in increased efficiency by intelligently matching performance to workloads, while optimizing power efficiency across cores and graphics engine.

Fully integrated microarchitecture

Sandy Bridge Model
Sandy Bridge unifies processor cores, memory controller, last-level cache (LLC), and graphics and media processing. Such tight integration enables a host of performance and efficiency improvements, such as:
  • Fast access by cores and graphics to shared data in the last-level cache accelerates graphics processing.
  • Fewer buses over which data and signaling must travel mean faster processing.
  • More memory bandwidth for the cores boosts system performance.

Smart performance boosts for graphics and media processing

Sandy Bridge with built-in visuals◊ is optimized for next-generation media workloads. New technologies include:
  • A much more powerful graphics engine than previous Intel microarchitectures speeds 3D and video processing.
  • New hardware-based media accelerators and graphics execution units deliver superior performance for gaming, HD video content, and 3D graphics.
  • New technologies that allow you to truly enjoy all your HD content and web experiences.

Dynamic performance for both processor and graphics

Intelligent power management with Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0◊ dynamically controls performance and power—for both cores and graphics—boosting performance exactly where and when it is needed, and saving energy when it counts.

Design scalability for a wide range of markets

Sandy Bridge addresses servers, workstations, notebooks, and desktop segments with support for two to eight or more cores and up to sixteen or more threads with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)◊. This new microarchitecture also enables thinner form factors, improved battery life, and active energy efficiency for mobile computing applications.

Double the FLOPS, and more

Compute intensive applications get a boost with Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX), a new, 256 bit instruction set extension to Intel® SSE. Intel AVX along with new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), operating system, and virtual machine manager (VMM) enhancements extend the architecture for important new applications.

Study skills: How to write effective essay exams in college and university

What is a well written answer to an essay question?
It is…
Well Focused
Be sure to answer the question completely, that is, answer all parts of the question. Avoid “padding.” A lot of rambling and ranting is a sure sign that the writer doesn’t really know what the right answer is and hopes that somehow, something in that overgrown jungle of words was the correct answer.
Well Organized
Don’t write in a haphazard “think-as-you-go” manner. Do some planning and be sure that what you write has a clearly marked introduction which both states the point(s) you are going to make and also, if possible, how you are going to proceed. In addition, the essay should have a clearly indicated conclusion which summarizes the material covered and emphasizes your thesis or main point.
Well Supported
Do not just assert something is true, prove it. What facts, figures, examples, tests, etc. prove your point? In many cases, the difference between an A and a B as a grade is due to the effective use of supporting evidence.
Well Packaged
People who do not use conventions of language are thought of by their readers as less competent and less educated. If you need help with these or other writing skills, go to any writing lab or tutorial help offered by your university or course.
How do you write an effective essay exam?
  1. Read through all the questions carefully.
  2. Budget your time and decide which question(s) you will answer first.
  3. Underline the key word(s) which tell you what to do for each question.
  4. Choose an organizational pattern appropriate for each key word and plan your answers on scratch paper or in the margins.
  5. Write your answers as quickly and as legibly as you can; do not take the time to recopy.
  6. Begin each answer with one or two sentence thesis which summarizes your answer. If possible, phrase the statement so that it rephrases the question’s essential terms into a statement (which therefore directly answers the essay question).
  7. Support your thesis with specific references to the material you have studied.
  8. Proofread your answer and correct errors in spelling and mechanics.
Specific organizational patterns and “key words”
Most essay questions will have one or more “key words” that indicate which organizational pattern you should use in your answer. The six most common organizational patterns for essay exams are:
  • Definition
  • Analysis
  • Cause and Effect
  • Comparison-Contrast
  • Process
  • Thesis and Support
