What processor is a chip with two or more separate processor cores?
For Intel chips this will be almost any Core I5 and I7(with the ones ending with 3 numbers and X being Hexacores, the rest are just Quad cores), for AMD that would be the Chips with "X3 (3 physical cores)/X4(4 cores)/X6(6 cores) in the name.
System bus speed in microprocessors is the speed at which a processor sends/receives data from the motherboard's memory controller. It is also called the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed in the case of Intel CPUs.
AVR is also a line of microcontrollers made by Atmel. Atmel says the three letters don't stand for anything, it's just the name.
AVR can also stand for Automatic Voltage Regulator.
There are many uses of this abbreviation, see the link below.

Which processor contains 4 cores?
In the intel range there are a few different models that have four cores.
The older CPU is the 'core 2 quad' and the newer ones are core i5 and core i7. Core i7 even can have 6 cores.
CPU(central processing unit) is a brain of computer,It processes the data using the registers inside the CPU.
A CPU is like a light switch and has two basic functions OFF and ON.
which brings us to binary all those 0's and 1's the only language the CPU understands the 0 being OFF and the 1 being ON there are millions of switches inside the CPU moving from OFF to ON millions of times a second processing all the information you give it.
What are the founction of the registers found in the CPU?
The registers are inside the CPU and await tasks you send to your compter from, The CPU picks these up and the registers then get to work to process them to give you an outcome.
General Purpose Register (intel) gave these worktables names: AX, BX, CX & DX.
A typical basic CPU in order to function will have: a case; 120/240V power supply; motherboard with processor and RAM slots; hard drive; external media device (CD-ROM drive, floppy drive, etc); ports for i/o devices (printer, keyboard, etc); and a video card.
Most CPU's have expansion slots on the motherboard for sound cards, network cards, modems, SCSI interfaces and other cards. They may also include multiple drive bays for hard drives, floppy drives, DVD-ROM burners, USB ports, or advanced video and sound inputs and outputs. Fans and coolant may be used to dissapate heat.What is faster a Intel celeron processor or an Intel core 2 duo processor?
The will depend on the benchmark and the particular chips selected to benchmark. A 1.6 GHz Intel Atom is slightly faster than a 1.1 GHz Pentium III on a SuperPi benchmark. A 1.4 GHz Pentium III would thus likely beat it. In a multi-threaded benchmark, the Atom would likely beat the Pentium III, due to the Atom's inclusion of Hyperthreading.
How much space did the Intel 8080 microprocessor have?
The stack size of Intel's 8085 microprocessor is theoretically 64 kb, but the real limit is a function of memory and program architecture and layout. The stack pointer is 16 bits, but that is not the same as stack size.
What is a reliable CPU monitoring software?
Both Core-Temp and Hwmonitor offer high quality CPU monitoring software. Other popular CPU monitoring software tools include CPUID and Webcatcher. Some of these services may charge fees.
What are the advantages of risc and cisc?
Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) is a CPU design concept that seeks gains in power as a trade-off for simplified instructions. This design philosophy is directly opposed to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC), which is the basis of the x86 style processors of the vast majority of home PCs and laptops.
Performance-OrientedThe construction of the RISC processor is such that performance is the priority, rather than raw power. When RISC and CISC were developed, the bottleneck of microprocessors was power, meaning that CISC won out and efficient, performance-oriented chips were used less and less. RISC came back into vogue when the need increased for chips that make efficient use of portable battery power.
Less VersatileSince the instruction set is so simple, that is, one instruction per cycle, RISC processors tend to be better used for simple and repetitive logic operations. CISC processors are truly "general purpose," meaning that they can pipeline multiple instructions at once without a preference for simpler or more complex applications. RISC processors need to be programmed in a very particular fashion.
SimplerThe performance orientation of the RISC architecture is due to its simple and efficient instruction set. This simplicity means that RISC processors are easier to design and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for purpose-built and cheap computing machines that execute repetitive instructions.
Long Instruction StringsRISC processors can be adapted to run CISC style instruction strings, but they are incredibly inefficient at doing so. Since a RISC processor can only handle one instruction string at a time, code needs to be more compartmentalised and, therefore, more complicated.If it is an older laptop more than likely you won't be able to upgrade.
If it is a newer laptop, you can likely easily upgrade the processor.
To upgrade:
first dissassemble the laptop to the point you have access to the system board. A manual for dissassembly can often be fetched from the manufacturer's website. After you dissassemble the system to the system board, you will take off the heatsink or other cooling device, if applicable. A metal device covering a CPU, and often other components, and takes the head from it and to somewhere else. In a laptop, it often is a device covering the CPU, video card or other devices, and has a metal bar atop it going to where the fan is. To remove a heatsink or other cooling device from the top of a CPU, it is recommended you unscrew the screws holding it on in the 1-2-3 order indicated on top of the screws, if the numbers are present. Then, remove the processor. There will likely be a switch or lever, which can be easily moved to unsecure and resecure the CPU into the socket.
After the CPU is replaced, be sure to coat the top of it with a little thermal material, which helps transfer the heat from the CPU to the heatsink or other cooling device.
Note:
It is recommended you wear clothes which aren't too baggy, and have an anti-static mat to stand on while performing the operation, an anti-static bag to place components in while performing the operation, and perform the operation in a workplace with very little static electricity.
What is the temporary high-speed holding area between a secondary storagedevice and the CPU?
Disk Caching
Is clock speed measured in gigabytes?
Not really :-)
CPUs are measured in terms of instructions per second or calculations per second. At the lowest machine level, computer instructions will take 1 or more clock cycles to execute; because these machine instructions are variable, many people focus on the clock speed as an indication of processor performance.
That is why processors are often talked about in frequency terms (i.e. megahertz or gigahertz), but this is not strictly speaking a measurement of processor speed -- but it is closely related.
Megabytes and gigabytes are used to measure memory or disk size.
What retail system was made possible by microprocessors?
Just-in-time-delivery is made possible by microprocessors.
What are the chemical components of a microprocessor?
Some of the chemical components of a microprocessor is sand and silicon. The microprocessor is also made up of phosphorus and boron.
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.
Processor capacity refers to the maximum performance capability of a computer's CPU, often measured in terms of its clock speed (GHz), the number of cores, and the ability to handle multiple threads. It determines how efficiently the processor can execute tasks, process data, and run applications simultaneously. Higher processor capacity generally leads to improved performance, allowing for faster processing and better multitasking. However, the actual performance also depends on other factors like system architecture, memory, and software optimization.
How do you study microprocessor effectively?
with brain..writing on paper and just doing practice..this subject is to remember the commands so should be carefully start with basics so that can understand well when going through concepts .....and never try to remember just seeing it try to keep it on paper so that u can remember well..........
ALL THE BEST
