Fun Facts: Sandy Bridge

Previous Post: Enhance Your Daily Work with Sandy Bridge

The 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family represents the biggest advance in computing performance and capabilities over any other previous generation. Below are some facts about the chip.

• If a processor were a country and its transistor count was a country's population, a 2nd Generation Intel Core processor would be the third most popular country in the world (995 million+) just behind China and India.
• There are close to one billion transistors inside a 2nd Generation Intel Core processor. If a car were to have one billion parts - compared to the 30,000 they currently have - it would take them most productive car manufacturer 114 years to assemble car.
• A 2nd Generation Intel Core processor contains more transistors (540 million) than the number of registered cars in the European Union, the U.S. and the Asia Pacific region combined.

• If every home in the U.S. had 30 light switches it would take the new chips about one nanosecond to turn all 3.57 billion light switches in the housing units in the U.S.
• A 32nm transistor found in the new chips can switch on and off more than 300 billion times in one second. It would take you 4,000 years to flick a light switch off the many times.
• If you equate the power consumption of a laptop based on the 2nd Generation Intel Core processors to electric clothing dryer, drying one load of clothes for 60 minutes is equivalent to running a laptop for 147 hours or 6 days and 2.4 hour. If you compare the processor to an electric oven, baking a pizza for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F is equivalent to running 67 laptops for 50 hours.
• The Intel Core processor is printed on very pure silicon, which is refined from common beach sand. So the sand you once stepped on at the beach may be powering your notebook today.

• If you were to take the performance boost enabled by Intel Turbo Boost to graphics-intensive applications and apply it to a Boeing 767 airplane, the plane could travel 50 percent faster. This means a flight that usually lasts one hour would take only 40 minutes.
• If you were to take the performance boost from the 2nd Generation Intel Core processor over the previous Intel Core Processor and apply it to a Boeing 767 airplane, the plane could travel two times faster. This means a flight that usually lasts two hours would take only 60 minutes.
• If you applied new Intel Turbo Boost Technology to your daily activities, you could accomplish more in less time, giving you up to four hours back of you day, time that was previously spent waiting for your technology.

• Integrating processing cores, memory controller and graphics systems on the same 32nm die joins a list of other disruptive technology "marriages" such as"-Cell Phones + Wireless Internet Access-Cloud Computing  Always-On Devices-Blogs + Google Ads-MP3 + NapsterYoutube + Flip Cams-Internet + TV

• Compared to previous generations, content creation is up to 42 percent faster and gaming up to 50 percent faster with the 2nd Generation Intel Core processors.
• The 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family is viewed by analysts as one of Intel's most important product cycles ever.
