What replaced vacuum tubes in the computer?
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
What does the microprocessor hold?
Lots of little transistors and gates
What key techonology made the microprocessor possible?
Transistors
What are the switches that make up a microprocessor called?
chips
What is the name of the invention that combined transistors and capacitors on a single chip?
A microprocessor combines Transistors, Capacitors, and Resistors on a very small 'chip'
How many transistors did the Intel 286 microprocessor have in 1982?
Different versions of the Pentium 4 had different numbers of transistors:42M 180nm55M 130nm169M 130nm (P4EE)125M 90nm188M 65nm
How many transistors inside of a microprocessor can fit on the head of a stick pin?
7 , nah im kidding, what sorta question is that lol
What type of microprocessor contains 42000000 transitors in the same thumbnail sized piece of silicon?
A Pentium 4 contains 42 million transistors. Forty-two million transistors isn't very many--the highest-end Itaniums and Xeons have nearly two BILLION transistors.
Why processor named as microprocessor?
They're called as such because of the size of the transistors they contain which is in micrometer dimensions .The first microprocessor is INTEL4004 (1971) .As it was too small in compare to other processors at that time so they called that processor as microprocessor
How does a microchip and a microprocessor differ?
Pretty simple, really. A Microchip is a chip (mostly of the Silicon Variety) that has transistors, resistors, &, etc. on it. It can provide many functions, including Memory (ROM & RAM), &, etc. A Microprocessor is one of the systems than can be on a Microchip.
The is responsible for executing instructions to process data and consists of transistors?
Microprocessor (processor or the central processing unit (CPU))
Within a CPU a transistor act as?
In a microprocessor, field-effect transistors behave as electrically-controlled switches.
