Dual-core Atom ready for showtime?

Tranquil PC just announced two new products based around Intel's upcoming Atom 330 dual-core processor, which Tranquil has confusingly dubbed the Atom2 Z330. We'll find out soon enough who's right in their terminology, but cheap-ass speed freaks have more exciting distinctions to worry about. The new processor has dual Atom wafers, for pretty much twice the fun, and Tranquil says that desktop performance is "very very snappy." They're celebrating the new processor with the T7-HSG Home Server, which will start shipping on September 30th in very limited supply for £299 (about $528 US). There's also a DVB-T Media Center in the works, but we're otherwise short on details.

Intel Vs Amd - Integrated Graphics

Next we installed Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. This was Release Candidate 2 build 5742 as we don’t have the RTM build 6000, and we have to confess that the Aero interface and Flip looked lovely and smooth on the GeForce 6100.

The Prestige R scored 3.0 on the Windows Experience Index - the scale runs from 1 to 5.9 - which is exactly on the lower limit of what is required to run Aero.



Moving on to the Intel-based Prestige R Plus, we ran the same benchmarks and games on the default 6.14.10.4642 drivers which give support for DirectX 9.0b. Evesham supplied this PC with the BIOS set to dynamically allocate 128MB of memory to the graphics. This is the sensible approach but it confuses benchmarks so we changed it to the maximum setting of 256MB fixed, which is the same as the Nvidia PC.

The Intel graphics gave higher frame rates in Lego and Sims 2 because we simply weren't presented with the option of enabling the eye candy as the games detected the graphics as fairly low spec, which is a safe bet with most Intel silicon.

We then updated the drivers to the latest 6.14.10.4704 version from Intel’s website, although this is something we wouldn’t expect the typical customer of a £549 PC to do. This unlocked full support for Shader Model 3.0 and DirectX 9.0c but the games still refused to allow us to use high quality settings. You’ll note that Sims 2 jumped from 24fps to 35fps.

The Intel G965 graphics impressed us, however we could see a slight shimmering effect on the Windows XP desktop that looked a little fuzzy and imprecise.

It was time to install Windows Vista RC2 on the Intel PC, and initially it looked dreadful scoring 1.0 on the Windows Experience Index. This was on the RC2 Microsoft driver 6.0.5472.5 so we downloaded and installed Intel driver 7.14.10.111 which made things much better. We were now able to raise the monitor refresh from 60Hz to 85Hz and the Windows Experience Index score shot up to 3.4, yet there is clearly more to come as this driver doesn’t have support for Shader Model 3.0, even though we know the hardware is capable of it.



Once the driver was updated the Aero interface was enabled and the Intel system looked as good as the Nvidia machine. We were unable to tell them apart visually.



It may sound as though we fudged those figures but we ran Windows Vista on our high-end Core 2 Quad test system with a GeForce 7950 GT graphics card and it too scored 1.0 on the Windows Experience Index. We updated the driver to version 96.85 and the score leapt to 5.0, which is pretty darn impressive.

Verdict

There's not much to choose between the test systems when it comes to games. The Intel box's scores were higher, but then it didn't offer the choice to show off its graphics muscles at the price of a lower frame-rate the way the AMD/Nvidia machine did. We'd rather have the ability to turn off some of the eye candy to balance frame rate how we want, not the way the driver thinks we should have it. But will occasional gamers care? Probably not. And most of their time will be spent, surely, in apps that don't tax the GPU.

That will change with Vista, when the OS is going to want some graphics chip time too. But the upshot of our tests is that AMD is whistling if it thinks that Intel can't run Windows Vista in all of its Aero glory on G965 graphics. It can, and it looks great and it is our opinion that Intel is fully ready for 2007

Penryn Processors

More details are emerging on Intel's next-gen Penryn processors, said to benefit greatly in terms of processing power and energy consumption by mixing the Core microarchitecture with the 45nm Hi-k and hafnium metal gate designs.

This article in Enterprise Networks and Servers, authored by Intel, offers the latest scoop on the six new Penryn designs, plus two new Xeon quads. The company looks like it's throwing everything but the kitchen sink into these designs, leveraging advanced power management and dynamic acceleration and throwing in streaming video and enhanced instruction set architectures. NewsFactorNetwork reports that Penryn will jam twice as many transistors in 25 percent less space than comparable systems.

Details on the Nehelem chips, due out in 2008, are included at Enterprise Networks and Servers. Get ready for dynamic management of the cores, threads, cache and interface, as well as simultaneous multi-threading and new SSE4 and ATA instruction set additions.

The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q9400¹ is the first quad-core processor within the Intel® Core™2 processor product line with embedded lifecycle support. Based on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, it features four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering exceptional performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking environments. As a result, more instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster.

The processor is validated with three different chipsets, providing a choice of flexible, quad-core-capable platforms for a wide range of embedded applications:

• Intel® Q45 Express chipset for applications such as point-of-sale (POS) terminals or digital signs in a networked retail environment. Chipset consists of the Intel® 82Q45 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub (ICH) 10 DO.
• Intel® Q35 Express chipset for embedded applications needing graphics, manageability, data protection and security such as interactive clients (i.e. POS terminals and interactive PCs), industrial control and automation, gaming, print imaging and network security appliances. Chipset consists of the Intel® 82Q35 GMCH and the Intel® ICH9 DO.
• Intel® 3210 chipset is a server-class chipset that includes Error Correcting Code memory for embedded applications needing high reliability, such as robotics on a factory floor, multi-function printers and network security applications.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

• Multi-processing capabilities of the four complete execution cores deliver sharper images, provide faster response rates and support additional multi-media features - ideal for gaming arcade consoles, POS terminals and digital signage.
• In multi-tasking environments, where rendering and manageability as well as media and software applications can be distributed to run in parallel across each of the four cores, greater visualization and realism can be attained.
• The processor includes a Super Shuffle Engine to increase the speed of existing Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) algorithms optimized for graphics and multi-media processing. The engine significantly improves performance for the latest Intel® SSE4 instructions which enhance video editing and encoding used in many embedded applications.
• Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution enables delivery of more instructions per clock cycle to improve execution time and energy efficiency
• Intel® Intelligent Power Capability of the processor is designed to deliver more energy-efficient performance
• Larger Intel® Advanced Smart Cache in the processor is optimized for multi-core processors, providing a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem
• Dual Intel® Dynamic Acceleration Technology improves four-core performance by utilizing power headroom of idle cores by dynamically boosting frequency of active cores
