Which version of Mac OS X is the first to support only Intel processors and not PowerPC processors?
MacOS 10.0
With what part of the CPU was the Intel Pentium bug an issue?
The Intel Pentium bug was an issue with the Floating Point Unit (FPU), which is a section of the processor that performs floating-point calculations.The FPU bug only occurred on earlier Intel Pentium processors, which Intel replaced with fully functional processors.
All types of Intel processor?
There are a couple of different types of Intel processors, but I only know so much about this subject. But I do know that mac computers have Intel Core Duo processors and some HP computers have Intel premium 4 and Gateway has Intel Centrino Duo. If you want to buy the best Intel processor then buy a Mac since they come with the best Intel.
Why does Intel and AMD processors benchmark at comparable levels when the processor speed is different?
Clock speed is only a useful comparison of speed when two processors share the same architecture. AMD and Intel processors have different internal architectures. At various points in time, one manufacturer had a more efficient architecture than the other, thus providing better performance at a lower clock speed. As of Q2 of 2009, Intel currently offers more efficient processors.
What is a better processor AMD or Intel?
It all depends on the specific CPU you are talking about. There are hundreds of processors made by both of these companies. There is no good answer to this.AnswerIn my experience, Intel is WAY better than AMD. My roomates have AMD's and their not impressed. Anybody that speaks of their Intel is typically happy. Intel dose not use a much power as AMD. So Intel for laptops and AMD for desktops. All in all they are both good
Was Apple using Intel processors smart?
It wasn't a matter of "smart" or not. It was literally a "do or die" situation. Traditional PowerPC processors simply couldn't perform any faster; the Cell processor wasn't available yet, and IBM couldn't produce the processors fast enough. Intel was the only company that could produce microprocessors in sufficient quantities to satisfy demand.
Does IBM aix support x86 system?
IBM AIX currently only supports Power chip processors, which are not the Intel X86 format.
What is an Intel Celeron and Pentium?
Type of processors that Intel named Intel Celeron is a "budget" processor for less-intensive computing tasks such as e-mailing, light web surfing and word processing. Since people have digital cameras and like to deal with photos and people like to listen, download music and burn CDs, Intel has made them much faster. Intel Pentium was born in 1993??? (correct me if I'm wrong) and still continues today. Most PCs are Intel Pentiums. Intel has the Pentium, Pentium Pro (kind of like the "early, early, 1995 version of the Xeon/Itanium, which is a powerful CPU), Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4. Now they are just called Pentiums, with subtitles like duo-core, quad-core, etc. Intel Pentiums are mainstream processors, with the Xeon/Itanium, which are workstation and server computer processors, being the upper stream processors.
Is a higher MHz on a processor better?
Not necessarily. Many factors affect the performance of a processor. There was a time when AMD processors outperformed Intel processors that ran over 1000 MHz "faster." Today, Intel's newer processors, such as the Core i7, Core Duo, and Core 2 Duo, run at a lower clock rate than the previous Pentium 4s. MHz is only really useful when you are comparing two otherwise similar processors with the same architecture.
Will an Intel i-5 750 fit on a A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard?
No because the A8n sli deluxe is only compatible with amd processors and only socket 939 will fit.
List of Worlds top 10 processor manufacturer?
There is only two processor manufacturers are there.Intel and AMD.From Intel we have several processors such as Pentium, Pentium 2, Pentium3, Celeron, Pentium4, Dual core, core2duo, quad core, i7 and more...From AMD we have processors such as Phenom, Athlon, and more....To know more about processors visit http://www.yajivtech.com/
Is a 1.9 ghz amd turion beter or a 1.5 ghz Intel core 2 duo?
I personally would chose the 1.5 Intel core duo because 2 processors can handle twice the jobs even though its only 1.5 that will still be better than the AMD. Are you sure the AMD Doesnt have 2 processors???
