Intel 3rd Gen Core Processor family brings an enormous jump forward in features and performance. The first processor to be developed using Intel's revolutionary 22nm process technology, the 3rd generation Intel Core processor, offers a harmony of features that will appeal to software developers and consumers alike. The primary architectural layout of the processor remains similar to that of previous generations, including on-die Intel® architecture (x86) CPU and graphics execution units, shared caches, and a ring-bus design. The graphics system has undergone improvements in the design of the general programmable shader, which now supports dual-issue instructions.
