    Chapter 6: Glossary Advanced Dynamic Execution Part of the Xeon processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. Improved branch prediction algorithm accelerates the flow of work to the processor and helps overcome the deeper pipeline. Very deep, out-of-order speculative execution allows the processor to view 126 instructions in flight and handle up to 48 loads and 24 stores in the pipeline.
  • Page 96 DRAM Dynamic Ram used for main system memory, providing a moderately fast but cheap storage solution. Enhanced Floating Point and Multimedia Unit Part of the Pentium® 4 processor's Intel® NetBurst® micro-architecture. An expanded 128-bit floating point register and an additional register for data movement improves performance on floating-point and multimedia applications.
