	NetBurst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Intel NetBurst Microarchitecture, called P68 inside Intel, is the successor to the P6 microarchitecture in the x86 family of CPUs made by Intel.
		NetBurst is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Intel P7 or Intel 80786 when comparing to previous chips, although these are not official names; P7 was in fact used internally at Intel for what became the Itanium architecture.
		Presler, a core of Pentium D released in early 2006, is widely touted by analysts to be the last in the line of NetBurst, though the actual final NetBurst chip was the Tulsa core Xeon MP.

	Pentium 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The "Netburst" architecture forms the basis of Pentium 4 microprocessor design as well as the design criteria for forthcoming Intel processors (for the next 3 - 5 years at least).
		Since integer performance in the Netburst architecture is very dependant on ALU speed, Intel predict that as processor speeds increase the integer performance of the Pentium 4 will improve, because any increase in processor speed results in the ALU speed escalating twice as fast.
		The Netburst architecture features a much improved system bus, by accelerating it to 400MHz it establishes itself as it allows the Pentium 4 to push more than three times the amount of data as the Pentium III processor.

	The Tech Report - Intel's Pentium 4 processor - Page 1
		The NetBurst microarchitecture is intended to remedy this situation by running comfortably at very high clock speeds.
		If NetBurst is going to stick around for as many years as P6 has, it will need to provide substantial performance gains as the years pass and clock speeds rise.
		NetBurst's execution trace cache takes the place of a conventional L1 instruction cache, and it caches micro-ops instead of x86 instructions.

	Kudos and Calamities: The Death of NetBurst
		Dave gives the lowdown on Intel's abandonment of Netburst architecture for their processors, as well as a look at their roadmap for future processors.
		The NetBurst architecture that had replaced the P6 architecture of the Pentium Pro, PII, and PIII was no longer a viable option.
		It has good performance per watt, and is similar to the Athlon 64 in its performance-to-speed ratio and in terms of performance strengths and weaknesses.

		It employed a microarchitecture called NetBurst, which was designed to provide the fastest, most efficient processing for the programmes of the time.
		The one aspect of NetBurst that was beneficial - HyperThreading, which was the forerunner of dual-core - proved to be the stepping stone to the next-gen architecture, rather than the saviour of the P4.
		NetBurst development was ended, and Intel's internal focus shifted to creating a desktop chip out of the new mobile architecture.

	Should Intel discontinue the Netburst architecture? - Beyond3D Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It seems that the the "Netburst" architecture was not fundementally sound in the first place even though the Pentinum 4 has won more of their share of "Top CPU performance crowns", Am I alone to think that Intel should just discontinue the "Netburst" architecture and just starts from scratch?
		NetBurst is predicated on the idea that the best way to improve performance is to improve clockspeed.
		Yes, Nehalem was supposed to be the first chip afer netburst, but I don't think it ever got off the ground.

	Intel Offers Details Behind Pentium 4's Speed - Technology News by TechWeb
		Allowing the deep Pentium 4 pipeline to meet performance targets is only one of NetBurst's goals, as the device also aims to provide much faster integer and floating-point-instruction operations.
		NetBurst includes Advanced Dynamic Execution, a speculative engine that helps increase memory pre-fetch prediction rates greatly, according to Intel.
		NetBurst's Rapid Execution Engine is another feature and includes an ALU integer-processor running at 2.8 GHz, which is twice the main-processor clock speed and provides extremely rapid processing of integer instructions, Austin said.

		The concept behind the Intel NetBurst® microarchitecture (Pentium® 4 processor, Intel Xeon®; processor), was to improve the throughput, improve the efficiency of the out-of-order execution engine, and to create a processor that can reach much higher frequencies with higher performance relative to the P5 and P6 microarchitectures, while maintaining backward compatibility.
		Limiting factors for processor performance were delays from pre-fetch and decoding of the instructions to Âµops, the efficiency of the branch prediction algorithm, and cache misses.
		This implies that when one portion of the entire processor pipeline experiences a delay, that delay may be covered by other operations executing in parallel (for example, in the core) or by the execution of Âµops which were previously queued up in a buffer (for example, in the front end).

		The NetBurst architecture may have hit a thermal brick wall at 3.8 GHz (maybe 4.26 GHz with really good air cooling) and is definitely obsolete, but it's hardly a failure by any means.
		The NetBurst was used in the massively successful Pentium 4 line of Intel CPUs and used in many of the XEON server processors but time has simply passed it by.
		The problem for NetBurst is that it's been stuck in the 3 GHz range for the last 3 years while AMD enhanced their architecture with an on-chip memory controller and bumped their more efficient instruction per cycle processor up to 2.8 GHz.

		Until Nehalem emerges, an improved version of the NetBurst architecture, which is used in Pentium 4, will be implemented in a processor code-named Prescott, according to the now-unavailable report.
		The NetBurst microarchitecture was implemented first on higher-end desktop and server chips, but is being put to use on the Celeron family of processors for low-cost PCs, as well.
		NetBurst will help Intel push the clock speeds of low-end chips further, and it will ship with 80 percent of Celeron processors by the end of 2002, the company has said.

	Tweak3D.net - Intel Reviews
		With the launch of Intel’s Netburst 533 architecture, the performance gap between the Pentium 4 and Athlon XP is further increasing.
		The Netburst 533 is nothing without a chipset that supports the high front side bus.
		While Intel has chosen to launch the Netburst 533 processors with an updated i850, this leaves users who don’t want to go with Rambus left in the dust, till the i845E is released later this month according to the Intel roadmaps.

		Despite admitting to being caught under "Tremendous competitive pressure" from its rivals, Intel's CTO Justin Rattner said that this year's IDF was going to be "One of the most outstanding programmes we've seen in a long time," saying that the products and technologies on show were truly revolutionary.
		Core will replace Netburst - the architecture that defined the Pentium 4 - and will be rolled out across all of Intel's new processors this year.
		Intel said that its next generation desktop processor, codenamed Conroe, will see power requirements fall by 40% and performance increase by 40% compared to the current generation Pentium D, thanks to its implementation of Core.

	Computerworld > The ghost of Netburst still roams at large at Intel
		When the chip was working from instructions and associated data already stored in Level 2 cache and queued up in Netburst’s ocean-deep pipeline, it screamed.
		But when Netburst had to access main memory or conduct I/O discussions with off-chip peripherals, its shared, unidirectional bus instantly downshifted from fifth gear to first.
		Netburst was a jet-powered sled slogging through rush-hour traffic.

		First of all, NetBurst does have one final go-around before it dies in early 2006.
		NetBurst was their last new one for the consumer market, and if you ignore the "Itanic", then the last one before that was the P6 back in 1995!
		One of the main reasons for HT's existence was because NetBurst had a shared front-end design in which the FPU and the ALU shared resources for the first few stages.

	Welcome to AnandTech.com [ Article: Intel's NetBurst Architecture - The Pentium 4's innards get a name]
		The NetBurst Architecture is simply the name given to the Willamette architecture we discussed in our IDF coverage 6 months ago.
		The NetBurst architecture's first feature is what Intel is calling its Hyper Pipelined Technology, which is a fancy term for the 20 stage pipeline that the Pentium 4 has.
		This 20 stage pipeline is twice as long as the 10 stage P6 pipeline that the Pentium III featured and four times as long as the P5's five stage pipeline.
