There are many different types of CPUs. The two main companies that make them are Intel and AMD, and each one has a ton of different CPUs that they make. There are some other companies as well tha tare less well known.
Too many to even begin to list here, forget describing the architectures.
Yes most technology have cpus.
CPUs are designed especially for Laptops. They will shut off portions of themselves when not in use.
There are many more than 3 types of CPUs. There is no way to categorize all CPUs into 3 major types any more, although in the past there have been. I can only guess what makes you think there are 3 types. Here are some answers which will teach you more about how the electronics and PC industry works:You can say there are/were 3 common major types of CPUs because of their "instruction set". The instruction set is everything, programmers must write software using languages that the specific CPU instructions understand.1. x86 CPUs: made by Intel, AMD. Works with Windows. For the past 4 years or so, Apple/Mac is also x86.2. PPC: what Apple/Mac CPUs were in the past. Windows will not run on PPC, but Linux can.3. ARM: what cell phones and smartphones use.There are also 1 core, 2 core, 3 core, 4 core CPUs ETC. These are no different fundamentally, some single CPUs have 6 or 12 cpus built into 1.Now, what I guess you were really asking about? Intels latest architecture CPUs... the i3, i5, i7.The answer is sad. There is no difference between these 3. i3 is meant to be budget, i5 general use, and i7 high end, professional, entertainment. However, there are i3 and i5 CPUs that are much better than some cheap i7. Usually i7 is better but not always.Intel does not want us to understand, because they want us to pay the most for what we don't need.i7 are the only quad core out of the 3 but i3 and i5 have 4 logical threads (like virtual cores).
some factors that you need to consider.first the purpose you need that cpu.the cpus clock,the cpus fsb,the cpus socket to be compatible with your motherboard and the cpus l2 cache
No. If you want dual CPUs from AMD, you need to get opteron CPUs.
AMDs 'dual core' CPUs, those that contain 2 CPU cores, as opposed to the 1 CPU core found in earlier AMD (and intel, VIA, cyrix etc) CPUs. Dual core CPUs have much better multitasking performance than traditional single core CPUs.
yes
Yes.
They are treated exactly like two separate CPUs. Any operating system that can use multiple CPUs can also use a processor with multiple internal cores, with no changes needed to the code.
Front Side Bus (for older Intel CPUs). Hypertransport (for AMD) and CSI (for newer Intel CPUs)
