Both Lynnfield and Bloomfield processors are having unique features that will create a great impact on PC users. Lynnfield is the new Core i5 and i7 processors that use dual channel memory. Bloomfield is the current Core i7 processors which use triple channel memory. A lot of people assume that the Lynnfield processor will be much more popular than the Bloomfield as it is said to be much faster, more capable processor but only the time will tell.

Apart from that Lynnfield and Bloomfield they have various functions to offer to customer. For instance, Lynnfield has an on-die PCI express controller. This allows cutting down on GPU communication latencies, which was a big design issue previously. This feature might have added for future support of video cards, although Intel’s remains a big issue.

For Intel, Lynnfield series of processors specifically break down here:

Intel Core i7-800 processor series

• Intel Hyper-Threading Technology delivers 8-threaded performance on 4 cores
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• 8M Intel Smart Cache
• Integrated Memory Controller with support for 2 channels of DDR3 1333 memory
• PCI Express 2.0 discrete graphics flexibility for multiple graphics card configurations
• Socket LGA 1156
Intel Core i5-700 processor series
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• 8M Intel Smart Cache
• Integrated Memory Controller with support for 2 channels of DDR3 1333 memory
• PCI Express 2.0 discrete graphics flexibility for multiple graphics card configurations
• Socket LGA 1156

Intel’s processors are also accompanied by a new P55 Express chipset, which is full of new changes and features. The new Core i5 and i7 processors are based on Nehalem and share same cores, Intel also modified the integrated memory controller configuration, brought PCI Express connectivity on-die, and overhauled their Turbo Mode functionality to give better performance and higher speed, depending on the application used.

Most of us may not replace our motherboard with a P55-based motherboard. We are fascinated in new Dell desktops that uses Intel’s processing power. Here’s a look at the Studio XPS 8000 and 9000.
