Intel® Core™ i7 processor
Intel's newest architecture, known as Nehalem (nee-HAY-lem),
is an interesting and mysterious beast. There are some of the most
significant changes in years inside this bad boy, so let's get straight
to the point.
The biggest and most important change for us to talk about today is
the memory controller. The memory controller, much like its name
implies, is the interface between the memory and the processor.
Typically located on the "North Bridge" chip on the motherboard, the
memory controller communicated to the processor through the "Front Side
Bus" or FSB.
