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.

What is the difference between CPU and peripheral unit?

Your CPU is the central processing unit, or the main body of your computer. A peripheral unit is anything attached to it.

How is the CPU speed measured an expression?

speed of a processor is measured by CMU(Clock Multiplier Unit).

Formula:(speed of processor in Hz)/(FSB of processor)= CMU

What is an SVGA monitor?

"SVGA" stands for super video graphics array. this is a kind of video display standard created by Vesa for IBM PC compatible personal computer. A screen resolution of 800x 600 pixels.

A VGA monitor (video graphics array) typically displays pictures in 640 x 480 pixels, or an even smaller 320 x 200 pixels. SVGA (super video graphics array) monitors are simply a higher resolution...

SVGA is an acronym for Super Video Graphics Array and covers a wide range of computer display standards used in the manufacture of computer monitors and screens.

The SVGA standard was designed by VESA, the Video Electronics Standards Association.

When using SVGA as a direct comparison to other display standards such as XGA (Extended Graphics Array) or VGA (Video Graphics Array) the standard resolution referred to as SVGA is 800*600 pixels.

When the SVGA standard was first defined it referred to a resolution of 800*600 4-bit pixels (total number of pixels would be 480,000) which means that each pixel could be one of 16 different colors. This definition was quickly extended to 1024*768 8-bit pixel resolution, meaning that there is a choice of 256 colors.

As technology has advanced, the number of colors has become irrelevant as it is now set by a varying analog voltage that indicates the shade of the color, meaning that a SVGA monitor is theoretically capable of displaying an unlimited number of colors. However as the internal workings of the video card are digital, this places a finite limit on the number of colors that can be displayed. For example a monitor may be capable of displaying any color from a palette of 16 million, but the video card could limit this to displaying only 256 colors simultaneously due to memory restrictions. Almost all monitors produced between the late 1990s to the early 2000s are SVGA monitors, making SVGA more of an umbrella term than a fixed standard.

When VGA was introduced the video interface between the adaptor and the monitor changed from digital to analog, giving the effectively infinite color range. Therefore color depth became largely a function of how the video adapter was constructed and not the monitor, so the same monitor connected to different video adaptors would give different performance.

So although SVGA is a widely used term, it has no specific definition in terms of resolution or bit depth. In general use, SVGA is used to describe a display capability generally somewhere between 800×600 pixels and 1024×768 pixels at color depths ranging from 8 bits (256 colors) to 16 bits (65,536 colors).

Motherboard socket type is used on the Pentium 4 chip?

Look for what type of socket the CPU has its usually lga 1155 but there are other kinds so you should look under specs and find the socket type and then find a motherboard that has the socket type

Which is better Intel i3-3220 3.3ghz 3mb cache or Intel i5-3330 3.0ghz 6mb cache?

The Intel i5-3330 is going to give you better performance. Although the speed of the i3 processor is higher, the i5 is designed with higher performance capabilities.

What does the CPU manage?

It's a central process unit management system or server management system.

What is 2 KB?

It's 2 Kilobytes, or 2048 bytes. A Kilobyte is a measure of storage or computer memory. Computers store data as a series of 1s and 0s (on or offs) and this is called binary. Each 1 or 0 is called a "bit" which is short for "binary-digit". 1 byte = 8 bits 1024 bytes = 1 KB

Is the processing unit the CPU?

Yes, a computers processing unit is it's CPU. It is used for handling all data the computer comes across from simple web browsing to the saving and watching of videos.

What is the best microprocessor?

you should answer it idiot if I have known it before ,why would I contact you.

Does it matter which CPU you put in your computer?

Yes, it does.

Each computer is designed for one specific processor, or maybe a group of closely related processors. The computer's manufacturer may chose to document a list of supported processors, as often there is a choice to be made between higher performance at higher cost, and lower performance at a more economical price. Other computer manufacturers may not document a choice of processors because they chose to support only one of several possible models, and others may chose to document only one processor because the hardware and software is designed to support exactly one model.

Are there an multi CPU motherboards for i7's?

There will be, when the Xeon range of Intel CPUs move to i7 (Intel codename is "Gainestown"). Intel has not announced if there will be a consumer level i7 dual CPU motherboard as yet, and with 4-8 cores planned for i7 CPUs they probably will not. http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/11/13/xeon.i7.in.early.2009/

What processors work with windows 98?

Any x86 processor from the 386 on up to present-day processors can be used with Windows 98.

What is CPU overhead?

When CPU is used with full capacity, so the system slows down. (The answer may be incorrect, delete this if not.)

What is the CPU stack?

CPU

central processing unit

Stack

1. An orderly pile, especially one arranged in layers.

2. A section of memory and its associated registers used for temporary storage of information in which the item most recently stored is the first to be retrieved.

What if your control panel says that you have the CPU Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3 00ghz 3 01 ghz does this mean it has 6 01ghz?

It means you have a Dual Core (or Core 2 Duo) processor. Think of it as two processors packed together as one unit. Most software today does not yet take advantage of dual core processors.

What is Center processing unit of computer?

The Central Processing Unit of a computer (commonly abbreviated CPU) does all the equations necessary for your computer to run.

What are the specs of a T6600 processor?

The specs of a T6600 processor would be 2 cores with 2M cache, 2.2 GHZ, and 800 MHz FSB. One can purchase a computer with these specs at a store like Best Buy or Amazon.

Which is the better processor an AMD Athlon 64 X2 or an Intel Centrino?

That depends. Centrino is more of a technology used on processors, rather than a processor itself. Look at the actual processor type when you are looking at the specs. if it is a Mobile Pentium, the Athlon 62x2 is a better processor in most cases. However, if it is anything from the Core Duo or Core2 Duo line, they will be better than the Athlon in most cases.
