During a single bus cycle, the 8-bit microprocessor transfers one byte while the 16-bit microprocessor transfers two bytes. The 16-bit microprocessor has twice the data transfer rate.

What AMD microprocessors are equivalent to various Intel microprocessors?

The easiest way to put it is that intel processors run at a constant speed like 2.3ghz and they cannot be overclocked etc. AMD processors process information in bursts so their speed fluctuates and they can be overclocked or told to go faster than what they were made to go.

What is the requirement in MIMD?

MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) requires that multiple processors or computing cores concurrently execute multiple instructions on multiple sets of data. This architecture allows for parallel processing of independent tasks, improving overall system efficiency and performance. MIMD systems can be heterogeneous (different processors executing different instructions) or homogeneous (same processors executing the same instructions).


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.


Is First generation computers did not use microprocessors true?

I believe its true. Computers need a processor. The early processors were made using separate components, logic gate ICs and transistors. They became MICROprocessors when all the logic gates and components were combined onto a single silicone chip, as a dedicated processor.
