Sandy Bridge

Line 69:

Core i7 and Core i5 Sandy Bridge processors are thus far either quad- or dual-core, while Core i3 is strictly dual-core. Assuming [[HyperThreading|SMT]] to be enabled where possible, this means Core i7 provides 8 execution units, while Core i5 and Core i3 both provide 4. Without HyperThreading, the Core i3 provides 2, while the others provide 4. Currently, the Core i3 is limited to 3MB of cache, while Core i5/i7 support up to 8MB (current i5's ship with no more than 6MB).
