Core 2 Quad

Core i7 is a family of high-end performance 64-bit x86-64 processors designed by Intel for high-end desktops and laptops. Core i7 was introduced in 2008 following the retirement of the Core 2 Quad family. Core i7 microprocessors are the high-end brand from the Core family, positioned above both the Core i5 and the Core i3.

Overview

Introduced as the successor to the Core 2 Quad in 2008, the Core i7 represents Intel's high-end performance processors, above both the mainstream consumer performance Core i5 and the entry-level consumer performance Core i3. Likewise, Core i7 processors offer the most complete set of features

Members

Intel has traditionally been grouping Core i7 processors into generations based on the microarchitecture they are based on with 1st generation being based on Nehalem in 45 nm with the latest chips based on Skylake manufactured using a 14 nm process.

Clarksfield Core

The Clarksfield-based i7 processors are quad-core processors. These processors had the FSB replaced with Direct Media Interface 1.0. All processors use PGA-988 (Socket G1) packaging. They all have the following features:

Bus: DMI (2.5 GT/s) interface
TDP: 45 W
ISA: Everything up to SSE4.2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, and SSE4.2), and TXT.
Tech: EIST, VT-x, VT-d, Hyper-threading, and TBT.

8th Generation (Kaby Lake Refresh)

Mobile

In August 2017 Intel introduced 8th generation mobile Core i7 processors. Contrary to their namesake, those initial chips were still based on the same Kaby Lake microarchitecture as 7th generation. Those new microprocessors do bring some considerable performance increase mainly in multi-threaded applications due to Intel doubling the number of cores from 2 to 4 while maintaining roughly the same price as previous generation. All mobile models still use soldered BGA-1356 socket and as with previous generation, those new mobile Core i7 chip also have Hyper-Threading enabled, providing 8 threads for all models.

TDP: 15 W
ISA: Everything up to AVX2 (SMM, FPU, NX, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, AVX, FMA3, and AVX2)
Tech: SpeedStep, Speed Shift, Turbo Boost 2.0, VT-x, VT-d/EPT, TSX, Flex Memory, Smart Response, My WiFi, Software Guard (SGX), Memory Protection (MPX), OS Guard, Secure Key
