Difference between microchip and microprocessor?
1.Microprocessors are general purpose digital computers. Micro controllers are special purpose digital computers. 2.Microprocessors contain CPU, memory addressing circuits and interrupt handling circuits. Micro controllers contain all these features as well as timers, parallel and serial i/o, and internal RAM and ROM. 3.Microprocessors have one or two types of bit handling instructions. Micro controllers will have many. 4.Microprocessors have many opcodes for moving data from external memory to the CPU. Micro controllers may have one or two.
The basic difference between the microprocessor and microcontroller is that we can interface a microcontroller directly means "for example we can directly connect a keyboard to microcontroller to any of its ports"....where as for microprocessor we can't interface directly...we require a circuit board since it requires ram,ic's.....etc.,! beyrojac mahinay
- In Microprocessor more op-codes, few bit handling instructions. But in Microcontroller: fewer op-codes, more bit handling Instructions, and also it is defined as a device that includes micro processor, memory, & input / output signal lines on a single chip.

Yes, they can store digital certificates and/or other data.
What is the function of a computer speaker?
To understand how a computer speaker works, you must first learn how sound works. It is a vibration that can travel through air, liquid or a gas. Contrary to science fiction, sound can not be heard in space because it is a vacuum, where there is no air. The sound vibrates through the air and hits your eardrum, which your brain turns into noise.
Parts of a Computer SpeakerMost speakers contain the same components. A computer speaker is not much different. A detached speaker contains a diaphragm, dust cap, voice coil, magnet, spider, basket, connecting wires and suspension (surround). Attached speakers have less components.
What stores data on a thin microprocessor embedded in the card?
Yes, they can store digital certificates and/or other data.
The part of the computer that holds the processor?
Is known as the socket. This is embedded in and wired to the motherboard. The socket provides various currents for different parts of the processor and allows the transfer of data to and from the CPU. Different processors use different socket design, as some require different power phases and data pipelines.
Where are the instructions stored needed to start the computer?
All the instructions to start computer are stored in BIOS (Basic Input Output System ) at ROM. Whenever computer is started BIOS checks presence and status of RAM and input & output devices like keyboard, monitor, printer, disk drives etc. After checking these devices BIOS searches operating system in different drives. On finding operating system BIOS startups the operating system and hands over control of computer to operating system.
How much does a pentiumee processor cost?
Pentium 4s generally aren't sold on the mainstream market anymore. The ones that are available are generally price between $40 and $75. At release, they cost between $150 and $800, depending on the speed and availability.
How does the CPU keep track of which instruction to execute next?
The instruction register holds a pointer to the current instruction (in working memory) while the next instruction register points to the next instruction (the first instruction immediately after the current instruction's operands). If the current instruction is a jump instruction, it can change the next instruction register, allowing the program to branch to a new instruction once the jump instruction is processed. The next instruction pointer is automatically moved into the current instruction register once the current instruction has been processed. The entire process of executing an instruction is known as the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
How many number of ways in which the operand information is specficied in the instruction code are?
5
What kinds of computers is the Pentium processor compatible with?
The Pentium is a PC chip, or what oldschoolers call "IBM-compatible." i.e, non-Mac.
Since the Pentium (and the stuff it attaches to) IS the computer, I'm guessing what you're really asking is, what will the Pentium processor run?
It'll run Windows (and keep in mind that there have been Pentium processors since 1995, so you'll want to figure out whichPentium you have before you run out and buy Windows 7.
They'll also run Linux (including Ubuntu), Unix, and other OS's - - essentially (again), if it's not the Mac OS, it'll probably run on a PC.
What is the difference between dual core processor and a single processor?
A single core processor is just that... one processing core. A dual core processor is actually two processing cores on one chip. It is like having two processors in your system, but it is faster than two individual processors.
There are exceptions to the rule. For example all things being equal, a 3.8GHz Intel Pentium 4 single core utilizing hyperthreading is going to be about on par or faster in some scenarios with something like a 2.2GHz dual core processor.
A major problem with high performance multiple core processors are they are becoming faster than the minimum RAM installed by many companies' low to mid-range computers. This increases thrashing, meaning the CPU is processing more information than can be stored in the RAM. It is a similar thing which happened with older single core processors about 15-20 years ago. New CPU technology is outpacing storage memory. You can upgrade to more RAM but currently is very expensive for these newer computers. (as of 2010)
What are the functions of processor rigisters?
Cache in a CPU is one part of the computer's memory heirarchy. The idea is that you can't have both speed and storage space; more space means slower memory. To fetch data, the CPU sends a request to RAM, which goes to the hard disk (very slow device but very large device), which fetches the data, which is then stored in RAM (smaller, but much much faster). Since that's slow (lots of buraucracy, and a slow hard disk involved), we'll keep the data in RAM. Now the next time the CPU needs that data, we can skip accessing the slow hard disk. Cache takes it one step further. Data that is frequently accessed can be stored in cache directly inside the CPU, avoiding the need to access RAM. Cache is the fastest but smallest memory in the computer. Cache registers are special locations reserved for particular purposes. What these are and what they're called depends somewhat on the architecture (Intel may not have the same registers as MIPS for example). Generally there will be some registers for storing data, storing temporary data, for function calls, arguments and returns, for the assembler, for the kernel (part of the operating system) and for the stack.
How do you tell which CPU fits what motherboard?
I am going to assume you're being technical and using the term CPU meaning the processor specifically. Usually when you buy a motherboard located somewhere in the specifications it will tell you what "socket" the motherboard supports. Just like how only US electrical plugs will fit into US electrical outlets, it is the same for motherboards. For example, the Asus Intel P965 Motherboard states it supports socket 775 processors. Usually the motherboard will have the processor it supports in the title name, this one being Asus Intel. So by buying that motherboard you would go and buy a processor, that's made by Intel, with a socket 775 fit. Unfortunately technology has its limitations, so if you buy a motherboard and your socket becomes outdated, you will probably have to buy a new motherboard to accommodate the new sockets if you ever want to upgrade the processor. On the plus side, motherboards aren't all that expensive. However, processors ARE expensive, especially if you plan to go over 2 Gigahertz in speed. The Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor E6800 2.93 GHz processor costs $1,049.99, according to Best Buy. So, make sure you plan your computer investments wisely.
Is Pentium 4 is Intel 8086 microprocessor?
No. The Pentium IV is not an Intel 8086. It is closer to the 80586.
How does a motherboard recognize and configure the CPU?
The instructions required for a motherboard to recognize and configure the basic features of the CPU's it can support are part of its BIOS software. Software drivers for more advanced features come with the OS or are supplied by the manufacturer.
What processor does a computer have?
The maximum number of processors I have seen in home computers are generally two, but 99% of the time there is only one. However, supercomputers can have hundreds and hundreds of processors that cost more than you will ever make.
RAM can be thought of as the what for the computer processor?
Think of it as a temporary space or "Blackboard" or "workspace" for your CPU.
Like the top of your desk. Limited amounts of things can be worked on at the same time but the access is much faster for things in "Ram" or on the top of your desk. The desk drawers or file cabinets might be a hard drive or disk drive. You can still get stuff from them but slower. But they hold a lot more.
Hope this helps!
What is the function of microprocessor?
Three primary feature of microcomputer are:
Who are the main computer processor manufacturers?
By chips, I will assume you mean CPU's.
Intel and AMD currently dominate the CPU market and that shows no sign of changing. ARM Holdings design all the chips currently used in smartphones, but they don't manufacture them, just like Nvidia.
What are the functions of CPU and how does it perform them?
Its function is to get dat, process it and forward the results to output devices.
It performs it with the help of ALU and Control Unit.
