Wolfdale (microprocessor)
Encyclopedia
Wolfdale is the code name for a processor from Intel that is sold in varying configurations as Core 2 Duo, Celeron
, Pentium and Xeon
. In Intel's Tick-Tock
cycle, the 2007/2008 "Tick" was Penryn microarchitecture, the shrink of the Core microarchitecture to 45 nanometers as CPUID model 23. This replaced the Conroe
processor with Wolfdale.
The Wolfdale chips come in two sizes, with 6 MB and 3 MB L2 cache, the smaller version is commonly called Wolfdale-3M.
The mobile version of Wolfdale is Penryn
and the dual-socket server version is Wolfdale-DP. The Yorkfield
desktop processor is a quad-core Multi-chip module
of Wolfdale.
Wolfdale has been replaced by Nehalem based Clarkdale
and its Sandy Bridge
successor.

These processors do not work in regular LGA 775 based mainboards but are typically used in single-socket
LGA 771 blade servers that otherwise require the more expensive DP server processors.

Wolfdale
Wolfdale is the codename for the E8000 series of Core 2 Duo desktop processors and the Xeon 3100 server processor family. Released on January 20, 2008, the chips are manufactured using a 45-nanometer process and feature two processor cores. The Wolfdale models operate at 2.53 GHz, 2.66 GHz, 2.83 GHz, 3.0 GHz, 3.16 GHz, 3.33 GHz, and 3.5 GHz; the E8xxx series utilizes 6 MB of L2 cache and a 1333 MT/s FSB. These processors include the SSE4.1SSE4
SSE4 is a CPU instruction set used in the Intel Core microarchitecture and AMD K10 . It was announced on 27 September 2006 at the Fall 2006 Intel Developer Forum, with vague details in a white paper; more precise details of 47 instructions became available at the Spring 2007 Intel Developer Forum...

Wolfdale-3M
Wolfdale-3M is the logical successor of Allendale and uses the 82 mm² dies with 3 MB L2 cache similar to Penryn-3M, its product code is 80571. It is used in the Core 2 E7xxx series as well as the E5xxx/E6xxx Pentium Dual-Core and E3xxx Celeron processors. The E5xxx enables only 2 MB of L2 cache, replacing the E2xxx series of Pentium Dual core chips, the E7xxx series uses the full 3 MB of L2 Cache, and a 1066MT/s FSB, replacing the Core 2 Duo E4xxx series and the Celeron E3xxx series with 1 MB L2 cache enabled is the follow-on to the Celeron E1xxx series.Wolfdale-DP
