What is QPI speed?

qpi is a new type of bus for cpu's, replacing the traditional front side bus. it stands for quick path interconnect

Explain one limitation of a 16-bit processor to a 64-bit processor?

One limitation of a 16 bit processor, compared to a 64 bit processor, is computing speed.

A 16 bit process can process 2 bytes (8 bits = 1 byte) of information per clock cycle.

While a 64 bit processor can process 8 bytes of information per clock cycle, making the 64 bit processor four times faster than a 16 bit processor.

Why have i lost audio from motherboard?

You may have accidentally uninstalled / deleted the driver for the audio chipset. You may have also disabled it in your BIOS.

What is the difference between AMD and Intel processors?

Here are some very simple things that are different between them:

  • INTEL processors: Intel was the first major brand for desktop CPUs, they survived a lot of competitors. The CPUs they manufacture are always a bit more expensive than AMDs. Because of their market shares, Intel was able to force some "gadgets" onto the market. Until 2002, all CPUs were classified by the speed (for example 2GHz - so 2000MHz). Intel lost some influence on the desktops CPU market because of AMDs techniques - they used not only pure speed but a more specific command kernel. By that the CPUs (i.E. AMD Athlon XP) were slower, but provided the same results as a faster Intel CPU (remember? AMD at 1.666GHz was the same as a INTEL on 1,8GHz). Intel provides most of the "normal" server CPUs today. Private users often choose AMDs for their machines to save costs. Intel supports the classification by the pure speed of a CPU no more. The introduced new numbers for the CPUs which represent the speed, the advanced features, the cache etc. for a certain CPU (and the best for them: you cannot compare them to AMD any longer as easily as it was before ...)
  • AMD: AMD concentrated on the PC and consumer market and cut the costs for their CPUs in order to be more competitive. Nowadays the AMD CPUs are hotter than Intel CPUs, therefore you will need a better cooling and your system will be a bit louder. AMD provides a dual core CPU for PCs longer than Intel and I guess they have more experience with these features.

For gaming systems it is more a question of taste and money than a real difference. Both platforms have their advantages:

  • You cannot do anything wrong, as long as you try to get a CPU with a big cache (1mb at least! - so NO CELERON or SEMPRON) and the rest is a question of RAM and the used video card.
  • Both chips are very similar, but due to marketing, they seem very very different from each other. The primary "marketing" difference is the way they claim their speeds.
  • The Intel chipsets (Pentium, celeron) use MHz as a speed factor. IE "This Pentium 4 chip runs at 3000 MHz" (IE a Pentium 4 3.0).
  • The AMD chipsets do not use a MegaHertz rating for speed because they believe doing so would make their chips seem slower than their Intel counterparts. This is due to the difference in instruction set handling that AMD uses, and is too technical to really get into here. Instead you may see an AthlonXP 1600, etc. Apply the following formula to determine the "Pentium" equivalent MHz speed. MHz = (XP rating/1.5) + (500/1.5) For example, with an Athlon 1600, the math would break down like this: MHz = (1600/1.5) + (500/1.5) MHz = (1066.66) + (333.33) MHz = 1399.99 Which would be equivalent to the last incarnation of the Pentium 3 (at 1400 MHz).
  • Because Intel has enjoyed longer commercial success than AMD, you can typically find comparable AMD chips for half the cost. This has to do with brand loyalty and advertising costs as well as the types of memory used in both chips. Intel uses more expensive RDR RAM while the AMD chips use DDR RAM. That said, the RDR RAM is faster (533 MHz versus the 333 MHz of the DDR RAM) and helps to soften the blow of the cost of the chips to the consumer.

Another user said:

  • The main difference between AMD and Intel processors are that AMD processors have a 10 step execution process which doesn't allow as fast of a clock but AMD's counter that by being able to do more operations per clock cycle. Intels on the other hand have a 20 step execution process which allows much higher clock speeds but they have fewer operations per clock. That's why a 2.08 Ghz AMD barton can perform at levels like a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4. Another difference between the processors are the sockets they use. AMD's generally use Socket A (462 pins) while Intel generally uses Socket 478 (478 pins). Other differences include supported chip sets, AMD motherboards generally use SIS, VIA, or N force chip sets while Intel motherboards use Intel, SIS, and most recently ATI chip sets. AMD is a favorite for over clockers because with minor modifications the FSB multiplier can be unlocked while Intel multipliers cannot be unlocked (Not to say that AMD is used exclusively by over clockers, because it is not, but this ability to be unlocked is a plus). Also as of now Intel processors have the largest L3 cache at 2mb while the largest for AMD is 1mb.

Intel processors have a more diverse library of CPUs than AMD, and have higher-end models too, they also have "hyperthreading" which theoretically doubles the amount of cores in your CPU.

Can you put a core 2 duo t9900 in a toshiba satellite l505 es5018?

No, desktop and laptop are not the same. Laptops the processors are usually soldiered into the motherboard, it's also likely that the GL/40 Chipset or the memory will not support the processor even if you could.

Personally, I would never change a Laptop Processor if and until makers developed to do so.

Why you call 32-bit processor?

Because of it can process 32 bit data at a time i.e. simultaneously

summary Because of word length is 32 bit i.e perform operation on 32 bit data at a time(so it is depend on data bus hence data bus is 32 bit)

Another reason is because of It has 32 Bit ALU in which 32 bit operation can be performed simultaneously.

Is an Intel Core2 Duo Processor good?

This type of CPU is not sufficient to power even the most basic computer in todays world. However a Dual Care 1.2 Ghz would be a good CPU in a Tablet or Smartphone.

Which is better amd or in intell processor?

This is an ongoing argument similar to which is better, PC or Mac. It depends on what your greatest need is. If it is more for gaming, multimedia applications and 3D graphics, then AMD, especially partnered with ATI graphics is a better choice as it was more designed for single PC usage and high end gaming. The downside is that the Windows OS does not receive a high rating for its Aero user interface, despite the fact it runs fine. But that might just be an illusive Microsoft little white lie.

On the other hand, if you run a network, require a PC with superior data processing and good disk management, Intel is the better choice as it has a higher stepping technology, although it is not directly affiliated with any company specializing in graphics, it is compatible with most cards. Uncannily, the Windows OS rating for Aero gives an unusually high rating even though it doesn't differ from the AMD setup with the same specs. Conspiracy or marketing ploy? Try running either on Linux and you will know the truth.

I have two hard discs and I have Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit processor. I found out that my processor supports 64-bit OS and I want to install Windows 7 64-bit.?

I also found out that I have to preform clean install to have 64-bit version of Windows 7 because I have 32-bit version of XP. Can I install it on one hard disc without loosing my data on another hard disc. Is this clean installation going to delete data from one hard disc where I want to install it or is it going to delete data from both hard disc including one I don't plan to install Windows on?
