Intel patenta the super nuclei: the combination of several physical nuclei to enhance the execution in single thread tasks

Intel go on devising how to get the higher performance of its processors latest generation, which have adopted a Hybrid nuclei architecture. The last patent of the processors giant is not based on some hardware element, but software that will allow your processors maximize your performance in single thread tasks. Specifically, it is intended to increase performance in a single execution thread allowing several nuclei to work together.

Intel wants to combine several physical nuclei in a logical one called super nuclei

Far from offering several nuclei that allow “executing several instructions at the same time”, Intel pursues the opposite. With this patent the manufacturer wants to gather the potential of two or more physical nuclei to increase performance in single thread. This set of two or more physical nuclei would be shown as A single logical nucleusor as Intel has defined it, Super cores (Super Cores).

A technology that will not only depend on the processor has two or more nuclei, but also on close coordination between themand the use of other technologies that allow a direct and fast communication. This will allow Coordinate the instructions For this supernuk, which will also allow you to add instructions per cycle Without increasing voltage and improving his performance per watt.

They will increase the performance in single -thread tasks without increasing the voltage or its frequency

A complex architecture that must maintain in a strict order the assigned instructions, as well as a Low latency communication along with one Precise synchronization so that the applications can obtain all the advantages of this supernuk. This also supposes A complex software programmingtogether with an approach practical that determine which is the maximum potential With this set of physical nuclei turned into a logical one.

This new patent can offer another approach to obtain the performance of the CPUS when they are based on one -thread tasks. But At the moment this consists of a patentwhich seems to have a promising future, hopefully the results obtained by Intel with this test can satisfy the expectations of the manufacturerand soon see it implemented in a future generation of Intel Core Ultra processors.
