Moore's Law.

There are a number of breakthroughs that go on in computer science on a daily basis that serve to make each generation of CPUs faster than those before it and to squeeze more data in smaller spaces.

What are the different types of CPUS?

Too many to even begin to list here, forget describing the architectures.


What is AMD x2?

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.


How often, in general, is their a faster and more efficient cpu released for sale to the public?

Typically faster CPUs may be released to the public by a variety of manufacturers every couple of months.


Why computers are grouped into different generations?

changes/improvements in technology This is actually in reference to the Central Processing Unit (CPU) which controls everything the computer does. Intel uses the "generation" to classify their CPUs. The higher the generation the more complex the CPU is and the more work it can perform, not to mention that the later generations are also a lot faster and have better graphics handling capabilities. They're also higher in price.


Do TV's have CPUs?

Yes most technology have cpus.


What processors does Windows use and What does MAC uses as well?

In Macs after 2006 there are Intel CPUs, the same as PCs Running Microsoft windows. But pre-2006 Macs used the PowerPC family of CPUs, the G5 G4 and G3. A long time before that apple used Motorola CPUs that are now obsolete.


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.


Which Intel CPUs will fit in the following socket Socket 423?

This socket was designed for first-generation Pentium 4 processors. If you're considering an upgrade then your options are pretty limited.

How much faster is the CPU speed in 2002 than in 200?

In 2002, CPUs were generally about 4-6 times faster than in 2000. This increase in speed was largely due to advancements in processor architecture and fabrication technology that allowed for faster clock speeds and more efficient processing.


Is there a dual processor motherboard for an AMD Phenom?

No. If you want dual CPUs from AMD, you need to get opteron CPUs.


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).
