What socket type is required for the Intel Core i7-pxx desktop series?
The socket type that is required for the Intel Core i7 9xx desktop series is the LGA1366 socket.
Can you change the processor of a laptop from amd sempron to Intel?
Usually, yes. But mobile processors are very expensive, so it usually isn't cost-effective to try to upgrade it. Make absolutely sure you buy the correct processor for your socket, as there are many similar but incompatible sockets.
Which game can Intel G33 G31 Express Chipset Family run?
Starcraft 1. Probably some stuff made more than 10 years ago. I think I've run Jedi Knight dark forces II, and maybe Morrowind. Not to mention minesweeper, duh.
For FPS check out Cube 1, or maybe some older versions of Sauerbraten (cube 2) will work, lots of people play that online.
Look for some sites that review good freeware games, but not arcade style, unless you want that. "indie" games are usually good.
What is the difference between an Intel Pentium 3 and an Intel Pentium 4?
Penitum4 Vs PowerPC 750/970
The IA-32 family and the Power/PowerPC family are two processor families that started off with two different design philosophies. The IA-32 processor's ISA was originally based on the philosophy of CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) and PowerPC was based on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing). So, in the earlier 90s, the RISC based processors which
were more suitable for pipelining and produced a better throughput because of the following reasons
• More registers that are visible to the program than in the CISC machines like IA-32. So, we have fewer memory access for data
• Relatively smaller instruction set (and a fixed length instruction encoding) which also leads to a lesser effort in decoding than the IA-32 family, instructions of which can be of variable length.
• With a fixed instruction length and with a careful designed instruction cache line, RISC machines also lead to a more predictable instruction cache performance than CISCprocessors
But there are other advantages that CISC processors had like the following.
• With complex instructions, a CISC machine might be able to do a set of simple
instructions by execution only one instruction in its ISA; but traditional RISC machines would need a few instructions to do the same. This means that CISC processors would have better code density that their RISC counterparts.
• More addressing modes normally provided by the CISC processors mean that not only we have a more flexible way; but this further helps in reducing the number of instructions (atleast in the user program) needed to perform an operation. This is more important as most of the CISC machines like Intel's are accumulator based machines.
With improvement in semiconductor process technologies, more transistors could be packed into a die of the same size. This enabled the RISC machines to bring in the basic CISC idea of having instructions that perform more than on simple operation. And it also enabled traditional CISC processors include some of RISC characteristics. Some like the Pentium Pro and its successors
have become a RISC machine at the core; but a CISC machine at the ISA level. Chronologically, the design of Pentium 4 is sandwiched between the designs of Power PC 750 (its closer relative with some enhancements is in Power Mac G4) and Power PC 970 (Power Mac G5). Now, let as compare the processors that represents the world's most popular desktops viz., x86 PC and Apple
Power Mac.
As mentioned earlier, the micro-architecture of the Pentium4 processor looks the same as a RISC machine. But one of the most notable differences between the two processors in question is the depth of the pipeline. The Pentium4 pipeline is a 20-stage pipeline as compared to essentially a 4- stage pipeline in PowerPC750. It would be interesting to note that the latest PowerPC970 has at
least 15 stages in its integer pipeline to 25 stages for its SIMD (AltiVec / Velocity Engine) pipeline. And one of the main reasons that PowerPC970 (which is a 64-bit processor) has been designed this way is apparently for reaching higher clock speeds and to close its gap with Pentium 4.
One of the significant advantages that the RISC processors had over the CISC processors is the ease of decoding instructions. This is now no longer valid with Pentium4 around and with Power PC adding some complex instructions to its ISA. As noted before with the NetBurst microarchitecture, with the instruction decoder decoupled from the main pipeline through the use the trace cache, that advantage that RISC enjoyed has been nullified. Interestingly, the Power PC 970 processor dedicates the first 9 stages of its pipeline for fetch and decode. But Pentium 4 uses only the first 4 Stages for its fetch and decode. This is made possible by the use of trace cache in Pentium 4. Also, the PPC970 processor breaks complex instructions in to instructions that can he executed in a single cycle. This would look just like Pentium Pro and its IA-32 successors dividing the instructions provided by their ISA into μ-ops for execution. But we feel that for very high frequency designs such division of instructions, be it CISC or RISC architecture based processor, is going to inevitable in the future.
PowerPC750 also tries to access the operands when issuing the instructions or when in the reservation stations. But Pentium4 access the register file for operand fetch only after the dispatch. This increases the size of a line in the reservation station for PowerPC750. It will be interesting to see this part of the implementation in PowerPC 970 which can have as much as 215 instructions in-flight compared to the 126 in-flight instructions in Pentium 4. PowerPC also introduced another interesting approach to branching. In PowerPC750, the branch prediction unit can be given some hints as a part of the branch instruction itself to specify the most likely option (is the branch taken or not?). It also has a special branch processing unit (BPU) unlike the Pentium4. That BPU is also capable of resolving branches very early and this helps us to recover the mis-prediction pipeline faster. PowerPC 970 extends this even further with
a 3 separate 16K branch prediction buffer compared to the 4K branch prediction buffer in Pentium 4.
PowerPC had and still does use individual reservation stations for each EU. But Pentium 4 uses a separate queue for memory loads and stores and another queue for all other kinds of instructions. It should also be noted that Pentium 4 takes a longer time to schedule and dispatch (5 stages) to the EUs.
PowerPC still enjoys a particular advantage of Pentium 4. PPC has lots of user visible registers and this can reduce the memory access considerably as procedure or function local variables can mostly be kept in the registers itself. Of course, wider registers (64 bit) in PPC 970 means that structures of that size can now be stored in a single register. The introduction of Hammer, which
has 64 bit extensions to x86, by AMD would mean that we would begin to have Intel like machines with 64 bit registers. But we feel that Intel is not likely to make a 64 bit version successor to Pentium 4; but rather promote an Itanium 2 derivative like Deerfield. Pentium 4 has a strict FIFO order of dispatch from a queue. This means that if an instruction in the front of the queue cannot be dispatched, then the scheduler and dispatcher would not look further down in that queue. But because the loads and stores are implemented in the separate
queue, the operations which could cause the most latency (memory loads) can execute faster. But PowerPC 750 on the other hand issue looking at only 2 entries in the queue and the reservation stations hold the entries for each EU. This means that when PowerPC really relies on executing the instructions in parallel, Pentium 4 relies on the deep pipeline behaviour within the execution
units. And the rapid execution core in Pentium 4 helps this cause as well.
As we can see, PowerPC not only attacked the performance problem with a deep pipeline matching Pentium 4's; but also has more EUs than Pentium4. So, it packs more power in the hardware. Something that PowerPC could add in the future for making full use of the resources is on-chip multi threading (SMT). POWER5 processor is supposed to have that. So, we can hope the successor of PPC970 to have that.
Conclusion
The two micro-processor families described here really compete for the top spot in modern high
performance desktops and workstations. The latest 64 bit PowerPC and the Pentium 4 seem to be
very close in terms of performance. PowerPC 970 was not only designed to run at higher speeds;
but they are also designed for graphics and media applications by providing a power Altivec
engine. But Intel aims to run all applications better with its hyper-threading technology and
providing optimal amount of hardware resources. But, if Intel continues for long to be backward
compatible to IA-32, future design's performance might be constrained by this need for backward
compatibility. So, we might begin to see the PowerPC processors on Apple Power Macs
outperforming Pentium 4 in the years to come.
Is Intel better than an amd processor?
It depends, but usually Intel is better. Older AMD processors (compared against the early Pentium 4) were much faster, however.
Difference between Pentium D and core 2 duo?
A P4 processor is fast, but the Pentium D is much faster. The D stands for Dual Core. This means that they have two on die processor cores instead of just one, as the Pentium 4 does. Two processors also makes it better for "demanding" applications.
The Pentium D is better if you have a motherboard that will utilize the technology. As stated the Pentium D is Duel core. This is Intel's way of creating the closest environment of a true duel processor. The HT is for Hyper-Threading which acts like a zipper and allows several applications to process at the same time. The Pentium D will really make a difference when used with the new 64 bit operating system.
However, HT (Hyper-threading) P4, does have emulated Dual Core processing. In short, the processor makes the computer think its runing a dual core. The Pentium 4 also has a couple different levels, so if you are trying to make a comparison, make sure that you look carefully.
Although neither can match the power of an Athalon or an AMD x2 processor. If you are buying, get something with 64 bit processing. WAY faster and better for games and high graphic systems.
Is Windows Vista suitable for Intel Pentium 4 ht 3.0ghz 1gb of ram and 80gb hdd?
Yes, the official CPU requirement for Windows Vista 32-bit is simply a x86 CPU clocked at 800 Mhz or above.
Any Intel Pentium 4 meets those technical specifications.
About Windows Vista 64-bit, it depends on model of Pentium 4 : first models don't support x86-64 instructions but the newer models fully support them.
Is it better to have a 1.5 GHz dual core processor or a 3.0 GHz?
the 1.5 dual core can handle 2 threads at the same time and 3.0 single core can only handle 1 thread both of them switch threads rapidly if you have CPU-z you will find that the only difference in number of threads (the number of cores in single core is 2)
short answer : the dual core is faster in multitasks
the single core is faster in single task (like most of games)
What was the first Intel processor introduced in 1970?

What is better an Intel Pentium III or an Intel Celeron?
Celeron doesn't refer to any particular processor series. Celerons were cost-reduced versions of their Pentium equivalents. The Celeron in question could be based on a Pentium 2, Pentium 3, Pentium 4, Pentium D, or Core 2 Duo. In which case the answers would be "Pentium 3, Usually Pentium 3, Celeron, Celeron, and Celeron", respectively.
To summarise all the previous answers - its the shareholders.
Can amd processor change with Intel?
No. While at one time, long long ago, AMD and Intel processors could be used on the same board with the same chipset, this hasn't been true since the Pentium II was introduced. Nowadays, the processors use very different sockets and chipsets, and there's no way to interchange them.
What is Privilege instruction?
CPU's from the recent 15 years have powerful instructions that only the operating system must execute. These are privileged instructions.

What are the features of Intel microprocessors?
The Pentium family of processors, which has its roots in the Intel486(TM) processor, uses the Intel486 instruction set (with a few additional instructions). The term ''Pentium processor'' refers to a family of microprocessors that share a common architecture and instruction set. The first Pentium processors (the P5 variety) were introduced in 1993. This 5.0-V processor was fabricated in 0.8-micron bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. The P5 processor runs at a clock frequency of either 60 or 66 MHz and has 3.1 million transistors.
The next version of the Pentium processor family, the P54C processor, was introduced in 1994. The P54C processors are fabricated in 3.3-V, 0.6-micron BiCMOS technology. The P54C processor also has System Management Mode (SMM) for advanced power management
The Intel Pentium processor, like its predecessor the Intel486 microprocessor, is fully software compatible with the installed base of over 100 million compatible Intel architecture systems. In addition, the Intel Pentium processor provides new levels of performance to new and existing software through a reimplementation of the Intel 32-bit instruction set architecture using the latest, most advanced, design techniques. Optimized, dual execution units provide one-clock execution for "core" instructions, while advanced technology, such as superscalar architecture, branch prediction, and execution pipelining, enables multiple instructions to execute in parallel with high efficiency. Separate code and data caches combined with wide 128-bit and 256-bit internal data paths and a 64-bit, burstable, external bus allow these performance levels to be sustained in cost-effective systems. The application of this advanced technology in the Intel Pentium processor brings "state of the art" performance and capability to existing Intel architecture software as well as new and advanced applications.
The Pentium processor has two primary operating modes and a "system management mode."
The operating mode determines which instructions and architectural features are accessible.

Which graphics card supports for Pentium 4 2.4 ghz processor?
You can get any graphics card you want, your CPU doesn't matter. What matters is if you have a PCI, PCI-E, or AGP bus to plug the card into.
How does the 8087 coprocessor work?
the 8087 is a numeric data processor(NDP) it is basically made to work with 8086/8088 processors.it cannot fetch its instruction by own so its buses(address and data buses)are simply connected to the respective buses of the processor.its instruction are recognized by the word F because each and every instruction of this coprocessor starts with the word F.this is how the min processor distinguishes between its own and the coprocessor instructions.(eg):-FADD,FSUB,etc.this coprocessor has 8-registers eacch capable of storing 80-bit temporary real numbers. the BUSY pin of the coprocessor is connected to the main processor's TEST pin.this TEST pin is active low in nature.this is because the speed of operation of the coprocessor and the main processor is different. the need of this coprocessor is because the calculation speed of maths operations containing floating real numbers is very fast than the processors like 8086/8088.during the execution of the program if the processor encounters the instruction starting with F word(11011)then it simply gives control to the 8087.initially the coprocessor is initialized by loading it with the control word which gives the idea to the 8087 that which exceptions are to be ignored.usually after the calculations the status word of the coprocessor is loaded to see which errors hve occurred.
What is the Process (Fetch Decode Execute Store)?
The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.
How do you compare the processors of Intel and AMD?
Intel Processor Comparison depends on your Ram and hard disk storage. It also allows you to browse the internet, chat online, share and edit photos and videos, online games, and much more
What processors are equal to the Intel Pentium III?
