What else can I help you with?
Give atleast 10 differences between microprocessors and CPUs?
CPU are microprocessors.
Why cant you use other microprocessors in CPU instead of 8086?
You can. There are thousands of 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.
How many CPU's do microprocessors contain?
Microprocessors typically contain a single Central Processing Unit (CPU), which is the primary component responsible for executing instructions and processing data. However, modern microprocessors often integrate multiple CPU cores within a single chip, allowing for parallel processing and improved performance. These multi-core processors can have anywhere from two to dozens of cores, enabling them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
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.
