Microprocessors
A microprocessor is the heart of any computer, whether it is a server, a desktop machine, or a laptop. This single chip contains the arithmetic, control, and logic circuitry necessary to interpret and execute computer programs.
2,578 Questions
What are the all parts and all function of a central processing unit?
Two typical components of a CPU are:
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs arithmetic and logical operations.
The control unit (CU), which extracts instructions from memory and decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when necessary.
Additional time required because of a miss it is generally the 30~40 cycles for Main Memory.
Why 8051 microcontroller called so?
Because it is 8- 8-bit controller (8000 series)
5- It has 5 interrupts
1- It has only one serial communication port
6 Fetching and decoding of any instruction takes three clock cycles How?
Incorrect. Fetching and decoding of any instruction takes a minimum of four clock cycles in the 8085.
T1 = ALE and address emission
T2 = Read initiation
T3 = Read completion
T4 = Opcode decode
T1, T2, and T3 are repeated for each additional byte of the instruction. In all cases, Twait, if indicated by not READY, is inserted between T2 and T3.
Thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, represents the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate.
Can you run Windows 98 on an Intel Pentium 4?
Yes. A Pentium 4 would more than meet the minimum requirements. Some of the last low-end computers with Pentium 4s were sold with Windows Vista. If you are performing an upgrade on an older computer, you will also want to consider things like RAM and your graphics card in your decision.
1MB is 1024KB, 10240KB is 1024KB multiplied by 10, so its 10MB
What is the size of L1 and L2 cache?
Usually the size of the L2 cache will be larger than the L1 cache so that if data hit in L 1 cache occurs, it can look for it in L 2 cache.. If data is not in both of the caches, then it goes to the main memory...
Any of the major manufacturers; AMD processors such as a Sempron of the Athlon. Intel Pentium 4 etc..
The performance of any computer and hence it's software, benefit from having adequate memory installed. This is almost as important as the processor that's used.
Go for at least 512MB of memory. Most motherboards these days only support DDR memory, which is fast than SD RAM.
i think stick with p4 for that one because amd works allot better with games than large programs like image editing and mp3 encoding and do't listen to the rumours that the p4 fans die out all fans die out eventually

AMD Athlon 64. Go for 2+gHz, x2 (dual core). AMD processors are cheaper but just as good if not better than Intel. You just pay for the cheap 1 cent Intel sticker if you go for Intel. If you want Intel, that's okay too.
FAN IT TO THE MAX!!! Fans are cheap! Buy them!
I would suggest the Intel core 2 duo, comes cheap and delivers what you expect!!!!Frankly, I would go for one of the pentiums, maybe the Pentium 4 CPU. It's cheap, you can get 20 on eBay for $50 dollars, it's common, so you can just find a cheap motherboard that has a 775 socket. It's not as bad as Celeron or Atom, and it's not as expensive or ultra-powerful as the i3/i5/i7 CPUs. But, if you want one that is also cheap, but is more in the 64-bit range, go for a cheap 604 socket Xeon. SeanHolshouser
How do you connect an RCA output signal to the input on a VGA monitor?
via something like this: Composite and Y/C (S-Video) to VGA Monitor Converter

Can you use a Slot 1 CPU with a socket type motherboard?
No. Slot 1 cartridges were extremely complex. In addition to likely not fitting correctly in most, the connector would be extremely fragile, holding a large and bulky cartridge by a few fragile pins. No adapter was ever created for this reason. However, there are adapters to use Socket 370 processors on a Slot 1 motherboard. This is possible because Socket 370 processors are much smaller than Slot 1.
What is an IO controller Discuss the IO controller corresponding to HDD device?

Which is better for gaming a 1.6 ghz dual core processor or a 2.6 ghz single core processor?
First you must understand that with the new Core processors, Intel developed an entirely new architecture. Meaning just because it runs at 1.6ghz, it still completes more operations per second that the 2.6ghz model.
Now, if we compare applications performance, the dual core will always win, especially with multiple applications or multi threaded applications. There are only a few games that support multi threading as of now, but even so, in the future most games will, and they will take advantage of that second core. Since the new architecture of the Core line is so great, your 1.6ghz dual core will stomp the 2.6ghz P4 into the ground.
Hope this answers your question :)
-Rob
I disagree with Rob. While the average user will find the 1.6Ghz dual core to be faster, the 2.6Ghz Pentium 4 can utilize hyper threading. Using Linux you can optimize and access greater hyper threading (if your BIOS supports it) than windows. http://software.Intel.com/en-us/articles/methods-to-utilize-intels-hyper-threading-technology-with-Linux/
this is just a taste
If you become familiar and apply more advanced and specific hyper threading to programs you use all the time, a 50$ Intel Pentium 4 3.8GHz CPU off eBay will give a 300$ 1.6ghz quad core a run for its money.
Hope this enlightens you :)

There is 1,024Kb (Kilobytes) in 1Mb (Megabytes), So that will equal to 32,768Kb in 32Mb. Also for additional info, theres 1,024Mb in 1Gb (Gigabytes).
What is a direct page register?
This 8 bit register contains the most-significant byte of the address to be used in the direct addressing mode. The contents of this register are concatenated with the byte following the direct addressing mode operation code to form the 16-bit effective address. The direct page register contents appear as bits A15 through A8 of the address.

A KB is smaller than a MB because there are 1000 kilobites (KB) in a megabite (MB)
Improved Answer
A dual core CPU means that the processor (chip) has two cores built into it. You can think of a core as a brain, which allows the processor to do more calculations at once. If you yourself had more brains, you would be able to do more at once. It is the same concept with processors. Having more cores doesn't actually mean you have a better processor though. Since an Intel i5 can take on an AMD 6 core processor.
Original Answer
it is a single cpu with multiple cores that work together. i am building a computer that has an 6core AMD processor in it. there is one cpu that i put in.
Which is best AMD FX 8120 8 core processor or Intel Core i7 Processor?
Intel, by default, is a better processor for people who play games frequently and multitask. AMD is good for multitasking, and not so much for games, however I personally have an AMD and I can run 2 servers up at once and play Minecraft at once. AMD is good for cheaper use, Intel is good for people who can afford it and built for games.
Personally, I'd say AMD on this one, unless the GHz speed level is lower. Although - it is your choice. I'd recommend the cheaper one on this end, unless you can afford the more expensive.
When your iPod has been stolen can it be tracked or shut down?
I dont think it can i had my ipod stolen yesterday and i was on the computer for hours trying to track it i asked apple if they could track it and they said no i felt let down m\by apple luckily there are only 4 suspects and they all live in my neighborhood
Well, all motherboards are socket motherboards (When we're talking about the personal computer, of course!). The socket and socket type are what determine which processor you can use with your board!
Take AM2 / AM3+ for example. Motherboards with the AM2 / AM3+ socket can house processors from the Phenom and FX-X family of AMD processors. It is very important that you make sure the socket type on your motherboard and processor match if you are considering doing an upgrade-- Different socket types aren't compatible!
Why not just build micro-controllers that contain everything on it?
Many manufacturers are doing just that! You can buy microcontrollers now that contain flash memory, ram, a/d and d/a conversion, dsp, even a fpu right on chip! The limitation is at some point the chip becomes so specialized that it has limited application. That means it will not sell in very large quantities. The chip makers have to balance these factors when deciding how much stuff to put on a microcontroller. Also at issue are interconnects inside the chip as well as package pinout. Some chips now have so many pins on such a very fine pitch that soldering/assembly is becoming more and more difficult. Dissipation of heat is also a major factor as the microcontroller increases in complexity.
