Why cant you use other microprocessors in CPU instead of 8086?
You can. There are thousands of microprocessors.
Give atleast 10 differences between microprocessors and CPUs?
CPU are microprocessors.
Where can one find a list of microprocessors online?
To find a list of microprocessors online one can try Wikipedia. Other online sites that would be helpful are: CPU Data, CPU World, Bookrags and Princeton.
What socket does the microprocessor attach to?
The microprocessor is installed into the CPU socket on the motherboard. A CPU socket can only fit a certain range of microprocessors.
Are microprocessors is also known as CPU?
A CPU or Central Processing Unit is generally what is meant by the term microprocessor. Sometimes microprocessor can refer to additional hardware, but by and large, CPU = microprocessor.
What are the Processor’s features that affect performance and compatibility with motherboards (write at least 5 out of the 9)?
CPU sockets (or CPU slots) in which one or more microprocessors may be installed
What retail system was made possible by microprocessors?
Just-in-time-delivery is made possible by microprocessors.
Do today's computers use transistors and microprocessors?
Yes, today's computers use transistors and microprocessors. Smaller transistors subset the amount of RAM that is local to the CPU at any given moment.
What company manufactures the pentinum CPU?
Intel manufactures the Pentium CPU brand of microprocessors. Intel stands for Integrated Electronics and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Does the processor of a personal computer consist of one or more microprocessors?
A processor (if you are talking about the CPU (central processing unit)) consists of numerous transistors--sometimes millions. An Intel Pentium D has 230,000,000. There are no microprocessors in it since it is a microprocessor in and of itself.A microprocessor doesn't have to be a CPU, but can have a specific function such as graphics processing, sound processing, or FPU (floating-point unit). Of course, many of these separate microprocessors are no longer independent chips.
Is the CPU the same as a microprocessor?
No. While a CPU is an example of a microprocessor, many microprocessors are not CPUs, but perform other tasks to aid the CPU. An example would be the GPU of a video card, or the DSP (Digital signal processor) of a modem or sound card.
How many transistors are fitted into a CPU today?
As of the end of 2016, high end multicore microprocessors have from 3,000,000,000 to 8,000,000,000 transistors. But there are plenty of other medium range microprocessors and microcontrollers with much fewer transistors being manufactured.
