It could be that you are running something that causes the CPU to be running at 100% all the time, or you have concurrent apps/processes that are keeping the CPU awake (same effect as the CPU running 100% all the time).
Nope - there are hundreds of different CPU chips available - each manufacturer chooses their own components.
A CPU stands for Computer Processing Unit and it controls all of the things that the computer does, including running its programming and making calculations.
Stability vs. Speed vs. Thermal. The faster you OC a CPU or GPU, the more power it requires to drive the CPU itself. The more power a CPU draws, the hotter it gets. The lower you undervolt a CPU, you're making the CPU work the same or more for less power consumption. This will keep things cool, but it could render the CPU unstable to the point that your computer may freeze, halt, or not start up at all.
graphics cards are made to unload some of the work of the CPU so that it can do more at the same time. The graphics cards has a special CPU on it that is made specifically for processing graphics. this allows more intense programs to run without the studdering you get when the main CPU cant handle all the information being thrown at it
Preemptive Multitasking basically involves the operating system sharing CPU time among many processes. An executing process is terminated when its time slice finished and the the CPU control is given to the next process. All processes get CPU time. In Cooperative Multitasking, however, one process can hold the CPU for as long as it needs it. For the cooperative to work, all programmes must cooperate, hence the name.
they all involve (in time line) things from/based on the past.
Basically, core duo, is 2 CPU's running at the same time. Although there is still only the one in the PC. It allows you to multi-task far more easily, than a CPU on a single core. Ie you could burn a DVD, watch a movie, and surf all at the same, time, with no real degredation to your performance.
Burst time is an assumption of how long a process requires the CPU between I/O waits.It can not be predicted exactly, before a process starts. It means the amount of time a process uses the CPU for a single time. (A process can use the CPU several times before complete the job)
n multitasking, only one CPU is involved, but it switches from one program to another so quickly that it gives the appearance of executing all of the programs at the same time.
A CPU scheduler maximizes CPU utilization. It can do the scheduling based on two types, which is either a preemptive or a non-preemptive scheduling.
DMA (Direct Memory Access) can be used during the CPU's "busy time", such as when the CPU is processing a read/write cycle, the DMA will take over to perform other tasks while the CPU is busy.
