The other competitors were focused mainly on the lower-end market, where existing motherboards could be upgraded and existing stock could be used to make new, cheap products. Contrary to popular belief, it had nothing to do with patents, as AMD later used the same slot connector for Slot A, just rotated 180 degrees. There were also third-party chipsets for the Pentium II and later, so motherboards could easily have been created that supported both Intel processors and it's competitors.

(MAJC) Microprocessor Architecture for Java Computing

It depends. Pentium 4 processors came right as Intel began to change from what is called Pin Grid Array (the processor has several hundred pins on the bottom) to Land Grid Array (the CPU socket has pins which contact the processor). Older Pentium 4 processors run on PGA Sockets 423 and 478, which are no longer found on mainstream motherboards, but the newer Pentium 4's were built for the LGA 775 socket, which can be found on some new motherboards.

It is the brain of you computer. Every thing can be controled using the proccesor. They work more faster when they have a good heat sink on them. If you were to take of the heat sink It would die in the matter of seconds.

The Intel Pentium D, Core Duos (and Solos), Core 2 Duos (and Quads), Pentium Dual-Cores, and the Core i7.

The answer i found out, is supposed to be because the Alpha PAL8045 is too heavy.

But all answers i found online do not note this as a problem.

The AMD Phenom II Black Edition X490 is AMD's top-of-the-line mobile processor as of December 2010. Running on a maximum power usage of only 45 watts, a clock speed of 2.4 gigahertz per core, and with a maximum data transfer rate of 35.7 gigabits per second, this processor is one of the best in the world for mobile systems.

No, in most cases, the Intel Pentium 2.4 outperforms the AMD Sempron 2500+

The Sempron line replaced the Duron line beginning in 2004. Sempron processors are faster than Duron processors by the very nature of being newer, though they target the same market segment.

Turion 64 is based on Athlon 64's architecture, and the main difference between Turion 64 and Athlon 64 Mobile is

the power consumption, which is lower on Turion 64: Athlon 64 Mobile dissipates 65 W while Turion 64 dissipates only

35 W (ML models) or 25 W (MT models). Another difference between them is the amount of L2 cache, which is always of 1 MB

on Athlon 64 Mobile, while Turion 64 can have a L2 memory cache of 512 KB or 1 MB, depending on the model

In addition - Athlon was developed mainly for desktop and turion for laptops Answer

Overall Athlon range is economy version and has less performance compared to Turion which are relatively high end processors. Although initially Athlon name was used only for desktop processors, later both Turion and Athlon brands have been used for dual core processors designed for notebook computers. Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is AMD's most advanced family of dual-core processors made for mobility to date. Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is a more affordable relatively lower performance range of processors for notebook PCs. Exact specification and performance numbers depends on the model number of the processor in respective families.

Yes, You are right neeraj, i agree with your answer.

AMD stands for Advanced Micro Devices. It is a company that manufactures computer chips and microprocessors for PCs and Macs. Its main competitor is Intel as it is currently the leading brand of Processors and Microprocessors.

AMD stands for Advanced Micro Devices and is a manufacturer of semiconductor products. Its main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors and graphics processors for servers, workstations and personal computers, and processor technologies for handheld devices, digital television, and game consoles.

Level 1 Cache (L1 cache)

There are L1, L2, and L3 cache. There is also a memory controller within the processor package. Level 1 is on the die while L2 is off. Level 3 is a shared cache. These act similar to RAM sticks on your motherboard however, they hold their data a lot longer. The RAM on your motherboard is called Dynamic RAM and the RAM in your memory cache is Static RAM. Static RAM costs way more than Dynamic RAM. Hope this helps.

The Intel 80286 chip was used in the IBM AT computer, introduced in 1984. They are fine for DOS, although the clocking speeds are slow by modern standards. If you try to run Windows on a 286-based PC, it will run VERY slowly and only in Standard Mode (assuming you have 2 MB of RAM installed). The Virtual Memory capabilities of the 286 are very inefficient. Swapping is performed at segment level (using 64 KB chunks). The method of switching between Real Mode (used to access the first 1 MB of Conventional Memory) and Protected Mode (above 1 MB) is very cumbersome. As well as the slow clocking speed, the other main disadvantage of this chip is that, like the 8086 chip, the data and address lines are multiplexed (i.e. the same lines are used for addressing and data

Typically AMD processors are known to run much cooler than Intel processors. The reason for this is based on the processing architecture of the processor. AMD processors are typically much more efficient with respect to performance per watt than Intel processors, and therefore typically are much cooler.

As a user of AMD processors for several years now, I can say that the biggest advantage of AMD processors over Intel processors is cost. For example, the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, a six-core processor running at 3.3 gigahertz, is priced at a reasonable $269.99, whereas an equivalent processor from Intel, the Core i7-980X, a six-core processor running at a comparable 3.33 gigahertz, is priced at $999.99. That's one thousand dollars. The performance of the Phenom II is slightly less than the Core i7, but considering the ridiculously high cost of the Core i7-980X, the Phenom II X6 1100T is a perfect processor for a spending-smart gamer.

The best CPU right now is the Intel Core i7

AMD is Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. located in Sunnyvale, California.

There are four pins in an Intel Core i3. The Intel Core i3 is a desktop processor. The machine has a dual-core processing unit which runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency.

As of 10/15/2012, the Intel's latest is the family of Ivy-Bridge i3/5/7 microprocessors. AMD's latest is the FX family.

If you're looking for buying advice, go for Intel. If you want AMD, get a Phenom 2 x6. It uses less power and is faster than the 8-core FX processor in most benchmarks.

AMD (acronym for "Advanced Micro Devices") is a US-Based manufacturer of semiconductors and computing products. Some of AMD's consumer products include: laptops, desktop computers, tablets and embedded computing solutions.
