Introduction

• We are going to study different current
  workstation processors and compare them in terms
  
• frequency
• size of cache
• characteristics of the processor
• power consumption
• cost
• technology advances.

Comparative Table
Intel
Xeon Frequency Cache Power Consumption Cost
2.80 - 3.60GHz (L1) Execution trace (L2) 1MB 111W 259.87-305.34
Pentium 4
Frequency L2 cache Power Consumption Cost
3.20,3.40 3.60 GHz 1MB 81.8W 121.00-201.00

AMD
Athlon XP 2800 Athlon XP 2800
Frequency Cache Power Consumption Cost
2.083GHz (L1) 128KB (L2) 512KB 68.6W 122.00-159.99

AMD ATHLON XP 2800

• Features
• 640KB of total on die cache for increased
  software performance
• Size approximately 54.3 million transistors on
  101mm2
• Peak data rate of 2.7GB/s
• Support for 64-bit bi-directional data
• Less Power Consumption
• QuantiSpeed Architecture
• 333MHz System Bus

6
Intel Pentium 4
Features Intel NetBurst microarchitecture Front
Side Bus of 800MHz Hyper-Threading
technology Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology
7
Intel Xeon

• Features
• Hyper-Threading technology
• Demand Based Switching with Enhanced Intel
  SpeedStep Technology
• Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)

8
Conclusion

• Current processor technology has reached
  impressive levels and is advancing at a high
  speed
• When looking for a processor to buy, the
  appropriate processor will depend on the needs,
  considering the different trade-offs that can
  emerge in the analysis of the different
  workstation processors.
• Ex. More speed mean more power consumption.

• To collect specifications from different
• current workstation processors is not easy.
• ArcOm recognizes that it would be too hard
• to find them as quick as we did without the
• help of the internet resources we have at
• the campus. We specially recognize the
• significant help get from search pages as
• http//www.google.com .
