State of the Art of Different Processors José F. Ocasio Janeiro Edgar A. Arce García ArcOm Electrical and Computer Engineering Department August 28, 2004
Outline • Introduction • Comparative Table • AMD Athlon XP 2800+ • Intel Pentium 4 • Intel Xeon • Conclusion • References • Acknowledgements
Introduction We are going to study different current workstation processors and compare them in terms: • frequency • size of cache • characteristics of the processor • power consumption • cost • technology advances.
AMD ATHLON XP 2800+ Features: 640KB of total on die cache for increased software performance Size approximately 54.3 million transistors on 101mm2 Peak data rate of 2.7GB/s Support for 64-bit bi-directional data Less Power Consumption QuantiSpeed Architecture 333MHz System Bus
Intel Pentium 4 Features: Intel NetBurst microarchitecture Front Side Bus of 800MHz Hyper-Threading technology Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology
Intel Xeon Features: Hyper-Threading technology Demand Based Switching with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)
Conclusion • Current processor technology has reached impressive levels and is advancing at a high speed • When looking for a processor to buy, the appropriate processor will depend on the needs, considering the different trade-offs that can emerge in the analysis of the different workstation processors. Ex. More speed mean more power consumption.

Acknowledgements To collect specifications from different current workstation processors is not easy. ArcOm recognizes that it would be too hard to find them as quick as we did without the help of the internet resources we have at the campus. We specially recognize the significant help get from search pages as http://www.google.com .
