IntelMikroarchitekturen

Intel Mikroarchitekturen refers to the various microarchitectures developed by Intel Corporation, which are the underlying designs of their central processing units (CPUs). These microarchitectures define the CPU's internal structure, including the pipeline, cache, and execution units. Each new generation of Intel CPUs often introduces a new microarchitecture, aimed at improving performance, power efficiency, and other key metrics.

One of the earliest notable Intel microarchitectures was the P5, introduced with the Pentium processor in 1993. This architecture featured a superscalar design with a five-stage pipeline. The P6 microarchitecture, introduced with the Pentium Pro in 1995, was a significant leap forward, featuring a deeper pipeline and dynamic execution, which allowed for out-of-order execution of instructions.

The NetBurst microarchitecture, introduced with the Pentium 4 in 2000, was designed for high performance and introduced the concept of hyper-threading. The Core microarchitecture, introduced with the Intel Core series in 2006, marked a shift towards multi-core processors and improved power efficiency. The Nehalem microarchitecture, introduced with the Intel Core i7 in 2008, further advanced multi-core technology and included integrated memory controllers.

The Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, introduced in 2011, continued this trend with improved power efficiency and the introduction of the Ivy Bridge variant. The Haswell microarchitecture, introduced in 2013, brought further improvements in power efficiency and the introduction of the Broadwell variant. The Skylake microarchitecture, introduced in 2015, continued this trend with improved performance and the introduction of the Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake variants.

The latest microarchitecture, Ice Lake, was introduced in 2019 and features improved performance and power efficiency, as well as support for new technologies such as 5G and AI. Each of these microarchitectures represents a significant step forward in CPU design, reflecting Intel's ongoing commitment to innovation and technological advancement.
