About this document

Nehalem Architecture: Cache & Memory Insights by wafasa is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes the cache organization and memory management improvements of the Intel Nehalem computer architecture. It describes how each Nehalem core has its own L2 cache and they share a large inclusive L3 cache to improve inter-core communication. It also discusses how the memory controller was moved on-chip and optimized to reduce latency. Benchmarking showed the Nehalem architecture had significantly better memory subsystem performance than the previous Core architecture.
