#
# Intel "Nehalem" microarchitecture (Core i7; Xeon 75xx etc.) core events
# the uncore (memory controller/QPI) events are in separate files because
# they vary between implementations (right now they are not implemented
# in oprofile)
#
# Note the minimum counts are not discovered experimentally and could be likely
# lowered in many cases without ill effect.
