Microprocessors

CPU's or central processing units do not actually store data. There is a minimal amount of data on board but the storage takes place on the hard and solid state drives.

Parallel Processing

North Bridge: CPU, Memory, GPU

South Bridge: I/O devices, keyboard, mice, NIC card

Excuse the previous answer as it was completely incorrect - CPU stands for Central Processing Unit.

The ADC 0804 A/D Converter is an 8bit A/D converter that uses successive approximation to convert the analog inputs to the digital output. The basic block diagram of the function of the successive approximation A/D Converter is shown in the figure above. The ADC0804 has four major sections namely the Comparator, the control logic, the digital counter and a 256R ladder D/A converter. For any analog input, the control logic will trigger the digital counter to start incrementing from zero count and these digital values are converted to analog form through a 256R ladder network. This 256R network consists of a number of resistors of fixed incremental resistance that produce a representative staircase type waveform based on the output of the digital counter. The output of the ladder network then enters the comparator which has the role of comparing the input analog to the analog output of the D/A Converter. When the staircase wave form exceeds the input voltage, the comparator sends a signal to the control logic to stop counting. The value of the digital counter at the time when the comparator sends the 'stop count' signal is the digital representation of the input voltage.

Both. There's a touch panel that is used to feed information in to the device (input) and a screen underneath the touch panel to display stuff (output). This makes it to be both input and output.

Less than 1mb. There is 1024kb in a meg. 736kb is far less than 1mb.

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

The difference between a CPU and a GPU is that a CPU stands for central processing unit: (computer science) the part of a computer (a microprocessor chip) that does most of the data processing; "the CPU and the memory from the CPU and the memory form the central part of a computer to which the peripherals are attached". GPU stands for a graphics processing unit (also occasionally called visual processing unit or VPU) is a specialized processor that offloads #D graphics rendering from the microprocessor. It is used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

An index register has the function of receiving, storing, and outputting instruction-changing codes in a computer. The index register is in a computer's CPU.

The clock is the amount of GHZ the processor can handle.

For example, the clock of a Core2Duo is of 2.4GHZ.

Overclocking means increasing the GHZ's the processor can handle but you will need a lot of cooling since the fan is not designed to handle such high GHZ's the people want.

On the most basic level, the keyboard is a collection of momentary switches. Each time you press a key down, you close one of these contacts. When you lift the key, the contact opens again. The electrical contacts are read and interpreted in the keyboard. Circuit logic within then determines which key was pressed or released. Finally, translation logic converts this information into a useable format which is then sent down the keyboard's wire (and/or wireless channel) and into the keyboard's connected bus. While in the old days keyboards had a dedicated low-bandwidth bus for this purpose, most keyboards these day employ the Universal Serial Bus, which defines how keyboards are supposed to operate. Either way, the computer receives the information from the keyboard through the bus which tells it what you just typed.

256 TB though strictly the limit is imposed by using 32 bits to address the clusters not the actual 32-bit processor

Upgrading your CPU can have a huge impact, or none at all. If your CPU is causing a bottleneck in your system, due to other components being more efficient / powerful / capable of doing whatever tasks you are demanding of it, then an upgraded CPU could greatly increase the speed of your system.

However, if your CPU is more efficient / powerful / capable than other pieces of hardware (such as your GPU, harddrive, or ram), then upgrading your CPU may have little effect at all.

If you are having issues with your computer being too "slow", as I suspect you may be, then make sure that your CPU is actually the problem. When your computer is running slowly, check to see how much of your CPU is actually being used. If it is requiring 80-100% of it's capacity, then a CPU upgrade may be a good idea. If it is not, then look at your other components, and see how they are performing.

That said, the first step should always be to check for viruses, clean up your system, defrag (if you have a HDD...do NOT defrag a solid state drive), remove unnecessary programs, etc.

The function of the CPU (Centeral Processing Unit) is to perform operations which make your computer run. At one point or another, EVERY bit (8 bits = 1 byte) of data goes through the CPU and is processed in some way.

"Classic" Pentiums were available with clock speeds of 60, 66, 75, 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166, and 200 Mhz. Pentiums with MMX extensions were available in 120, 133, 150, 166, 200, 233, 266, and 300 MHz.

A data bus is bidirectional because the processor needs it to both read and write. Also, in the case of the 4004, the data bus was tri-multiplexed with the 12 bit address bus and the 8 bit opcode bus.

No, the processor that you put on the motherboard has to have the same socket as the motherboard. The socket number will be right on the the part that the processor snaps onto. You also have to check the motherboard manual to see if it is compatible with the new processor speed ( example: 1.3ghz)

Texas Instruments makes a lot of digital signal processors, which are specialized microprocessors used in communications, video and audio applications. In many cases, they integrate several signal-processing cores, as well as ARM cores used as controllers, and various amounts of memory, on a single chip.

Because that's how Intel designed it.

The 8085 is an 8-bit computer operating on a 16-bit address space.

The 3 main ones are Input, Output, and Processor. There are more, but the play little role.
