currently they are all made of electronic components. some used to be made of magnetic components. in the 1960s there was some work on making them of miniaturized hydraulic (fluidics) components because they would not be sensitive to radiation from nuclear bomb blasts. in the early 1940s some were mechanical. just about any technology can be used.
The newest CPUs and video systems generate the most heat.
A computer built using Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) integrated circuits, especially a microcomputer based on a microprocesseor, or a parallel processor containing 2 to thousands of CPUs. VLSI made it routine to fabricate an entire CPU, main memory, or similar device with a single integrated circuit that can be mass produced at very low cost. This has resulted in new classes of machines such as personal computers, and high performance parallel processors that contains thousands of CPUs
In early computers that were made with vacuum tubes, transistors, or simple integrated circuit chips you could do this. However since the development of the microprocessor this has become impossible, as the CPU is entirely inside one integrated circuit chip.In modern microprocessors the CPU is actually only a tiny part of that microprocessor chip, sometimes less than 1/10th of the circuits on the chip which now typically includes: memory management, input/output devices, ADCs, DACs, etc. Also multicore microprocessors contain several independent CPUs on the one chip (as many as 16 CPUs in some chips).
PowerPC (short form of Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC-Performance Computing,sometimes abbreviated as PPC) is a RISC computer architecture created by the 1991 APPLE-IBM-MOTOROLA alliance known as AIM. ...Originally invented for personal computers.PowerPC cpus since became very popular as embedded and high performance processors and thus made computers more affordable.. hope i helped a bit :)
Depends, if you have access to acids then computer boards and CPUs have the largest supply of gold but there are small amounts of plating on phones, computers, etc that can just as easily be removed with pliers.
Yes most technology have cpus.
probably Silicium, cause that's what CPUs ar made of, and CPU are a bunch of transistors
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.
Too many to even begin to list here, forget describing the architectures.
csic
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.
Nope, Macintosh started using Intel processors after dropping the PowerPC CPUs in 2006.
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)
