Integrated Memory Controller
New for the Core i7 processor is a
built in memory controller. Using
three channels of DDR3 memory connected directly to the processor
helps to lower latency, speed up
rendering, reduce sample library
load times, and improve overall
system responsiveness. |
Fast, Efficient, Smart Cache
Cache is a smaller, faster memory
inside the processor and it stores
the most frequently used memory
tasks. Rather than have a separate
cache per processor, Smart Cache
dynamically shares 100% of the total
available cache with each processor
to improve overall performance. |
Quick Path Interconnect (QPI)
QPI is a very efficient point-to-point,
bi-directional connection between
the processor and the X58 chipset,
I/O hub, the hard drives, USB,
FireWire, network, and other
devices and peripherals connected
to the computer. The Rok Box MC 64
has a QPI of up to 4.8GT/s. |
