Why are laptop CPUs slower than desktop CPUs?
CPUs are designed especially for Laptops. They will shut off portions of themselves when not in use.
What is a laptop processor?
A laptop processor is a CPU optimized for Laptops. One of the main characteristics differentiating laptop processors from other CPUs is low power consumption.
Why do mobile devices such as laptop computers use specially designed CPUs?
The CPUs in desktop computers are designed to provide maximum performance. This is usually not a concern for mobile computers; power efficiency and low heat are more important. So the processors in laptops and handhelds are designed slightly differently from those in desktops, to fit the needs of mobile suers better.
Which processor is better Intel or Amd?
Intel CPU's are generally regarded as better processors these days. The new Intel i7 CPUs are much faster then any of AMD's offerings. BBBBUUUTTTT if you don't have cash to burn, and your building a DESKTOP, not laptop, get a decent AMD processor. At least 4 cores and 8 threads with at least 2.6 GHZ. but if it is a laptop you seek, and it says AMD, by all means DONT BUY IT. AMD laptop processors are dip S***. get intel for laptop, and AMD for desktop. if your on a budget, that is.
What is the difference between secc and sepp CPUs?

Can you replace the CPU on your laptop with a larger one?
Laptops are the tiniest computer that can do exactly the same stuff as a normal desktop computer. Because of the very limited space inside a laptop case, the manufacturers can't use a desktop computer's CPU in their laptops, so they have to go proprietary. If you havn't heard this before, it means non-replaceable, or non-interchangeable. This means you can't whip out the old CPU and whack in a new one, because the hardware configuration would be different. Although most manufacturers (mostly the brand name ones) choose to go with proprietary CPUs, some stay with universal hardware configurations. If in doubt, research the laptop you have and see if you can get hold of a faster CPU. If you can't, just get a new laptop!

How much does a CPU weigh?

What is the difference between a 64-bit operating system and a 32-bit operating system?
In simple terms, 32-bit operating systems can only be able to run on 32-bit CPUs and 32-bit apps, but a 64-bit operating system can be able to run both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs and apps.
What is the difference between pentium 4 and core 2 quad?
The latest of the Pentium 4 processors were hyperthreaded single core CPUs, while the Core 2 is newer and faster, with more features, and the quads have 4 true cores and does not use hyperthreading. A personal rule of thumb is to consider hyperthreading as an extra half a core. So 4 CPUs on one chip/die (Core 2 quad) is more appealing then 1.5 CPUs (Pentium 4).
Do TV's have CPUs?
Yes most technology have cpus.
