Extending the World's Most Popular Processor Architecture

Intel has a long history of innovation in adding new capabilities to computer architecture and enabling the industry to deliver advanced applications with greater performance and capability. From the original Intel® 8086 to the recent addition of Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Supplemental SSE3) found in Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors, Intel has led the charge in expanding the capabilities of the world’s most popular and broadly used computer architecture—Intel® architecture. Continuing the history of innovation, this latest expansion of Intel architecture constitutes the most impactful instructions since SSE2 and represents the next major leap in Intel’s fast-paced trajectory to deliver products with superior performance, capability, and energy-efficiency for years to come.
