Microprocessors

The instruction register holds a pointer to the current instruction (in working memory) while the next instruction register points to the next instruction (the first instruction immediately after the current instruction's operands). If the current instruction is a jump instruction, it can change the next instruction register, allowing the program to branch to a new instruction once the jump instruction is processed. The next instruction pointer is automatically moved into the current instruction register once the current instruction has been processed. The entire process of executing an instruction is known as the fetch-decode-execute cycle.

A single core processor is just that... one processing core. A dual core processor is actually two processing cores on one chip. It is like having two processors in your system, but it is faster than two individual processors.

There are exceptions to the rule. For example all things being equal, a 3.8GHz Intel Pentium 4 single core utilizing hyperthreading is going to be about on par or faster in some scenarios with something like a 2.2GHz dual core processor.

A major problem with high performance multiple core processors are they are becoming faster than the minimum RAM installed by many companies' low to mid-range computers. This increases thrashing, meaning the CPU is processing more information than can be stored in the RAM. It is a similar thing which happened with older single core processors about 15-20 years ago. New CPU technology is outpacing storage memory. You can upgrade to more RAM but currently is very expensive for these newer computers. (as of 2010)

Cache in a CPU is one part of the computer's memory heirarchy. The idea is that you can't have both speed and storage space; more space means slower memory. To fetch data, the CPU sends a request to RAM, which goes to the hard disk (very slow device but very large device), which fetches the data, which is then stored in RAM (smaller, but much much faster). Since that's slow (lots of buraucracy, and a slow hard disk involved), we'll keep the data in RAM. Now the next time the CPU needs that data, we can skip accessing the slow hard disk. Cache takes it one step further. Data that is frequently accessed can be stored in cache directly inside the CPU, avoiding the need to access RAM. Cache is the fastest but smallest memory in the computer. Cache registers are special locations reserved for particular purposes. What these are and what they're called depends somewhat on the architecture (Intel may not have the same registers as MIPS for example). Generally there will be some registers for storing data, storing temporary data, for function calls, arguments and returns, for the assembler, for the kernel (part of the operating system) and for the stack.

it came out 1837 i looked it up it said 1837

I am going to assume you're being technical and using the term CPU meaning the processor specifically. Usually when you buy a motherboard located somewhere in the specifications it will tell you what "socket" the motherboard supports. Just like how only US electrical plugs will fit into US electrical outlets, it is the same for motherboards. For example, the Asus Intel P965 Motherboard states it supports socket 775 processors. Usually the motherboard will have the processor it supports in the title name, this one being Asus Intel. So by buying that motherboard you would go and buy a processor, that's made by Intel, with a socket 775 fit. Unfortunately technology has its limitations, so if you buy a motherboard and your socket becomes outdated, you will probably have to buy a new motherboard to accommodate the new sockets if you ever want to upgrade the processor. On the plus side, motherboards aren't all that expensive. However, processors ARE expensive, especially if you plan to go over 2 Gigahertz in speed. The Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor E6800 2.93 GHz processor costs $1,049.99, according to Best Buy. So, make sure you plan your computer investments wisely.

No. The Pentium IV is not an Intel 8086. It is closer to the 80586.

The instructions required for a motherboard to recognize and configure the basic features of the CPU's it can support are part of its BIOS software. Software drivers for more advanced features come with the OS or are supplied by the manufacturer.

The maximum number of processors I have seen in home computers are generally two, but 99% of the time there is only one. However, supercomputers can have hundreds and hundreds of processors that cost more than you will ever make.

Think of it as a temporary space or "Blackboard" or "workspace" for your CPU.

Like the top of your desk. Limited amounts of things can be worked on at the same time but the access is much faster for things in "Ram" or on the top of your desk. The desk drawers or file cabinets might be a hard drive or disk drive. You can still get stuff from them but slower. But they hold a lot more.

Hope this helps!

Three primary feature of microcomputer are:

1. It is used in several applications such as word processing, well designed presentation, advance graphic work, E-spreadsheet, communications and database management systems.
2. It is used in the Integration of computing intelligence for improving products, services, infrastructure, and machines.
3. It is used in IoT applications in the form of micro controllers such as smart TVs, refrigerators, microwave, and more.

By chips, I will assume you mean CPU's.

Intel and AMD currently dominate the CPU market and that shows no sign of changing. ARM Holdings design all the chips currently used in smartphones, but they don't manufacture them, just like Nvidia.

Its function is to get dat, process it and forward the results to output devices.

It performs it with the help of ALU and Control Unit.

f 3+5+7+.........+n terms/ 5+8+11+............+10 terms =7

the value of n is

a) 35 b) 36 c) 37 d) 40

2. if A,B,C are the points z1,z2,z3 ant the angles B and C are each pie- alpha/2

then

(z2-z3)^2 = 4(z3-z1)(z1-z2) sin^2 alpha/2

The function of the Control Unit is to direct how the CPU or any other type of device should operate. The ALU is responsible for carrying out arithmetic operations as well as logic operations.

8 bit architecture means that the processor computes 8 bits at a time. these 8 hold instructional characterists for the processor to operate. higher bits ( we like to say wider) allow for a larger library of instructions are much more memory references.

Of course it will run. But it will not be making full utilization of the multi-core architecture. In that aspect, single-core processors with more processing power are sometimes better suited to run single threaded application than multi-core processors with less processing power.

Depends on the model, all Pentium 4's running on Northwood are 32 bit, however some of the higher end Prescott and newer chips are 64 bit (Pentium 4 5xx and 6xx series). To find out if your pentium 4 is 64bit search for CPUz on google and that will tell you everything you need to know about your CPU

The top ten fastest processors for computers are Intel Xeon ES 2678W, Intel Core i7 3970X, Intel Core i7 3770K, Intel Core i5 3570K, intel Core i5 3470, INtel Core i3 3225, AMD FX 8350, AMD FX 6300, AMD FX 4300, AMD A10 5700.

If it is core 2 duo working @ 3.06GHz it is enough fast for pretty much everything, except heavy rendering and etc... For a home PC it is enough.

To see which one is the best

Its called the backside bus or cache bus. There's also the ATC bus. Back Side Bus Front side bus or cache bus Back Side Bus

AVR stands for Automatic Voltage Regulator for generator. Most AVR work by automatically comparing the sensed voltage with the reference setting generator output voltage then diverting the input current to the exciter circuit. Some AVR circuit are configured in parallel connection with the exciter stator winding, When it sense below rated set voltage, more current is feed to the exciter to catch up the voltage difference until it would reach equilibrium again, when it is within rated voltage less current is feed to the exciter or more current is diverted to the AVR circuit. Some AVR has manual remote voltage trim or control to manually raise or lower the set voltage. The AVR works also during parallel operation by regulating voltage and controlling load Ampere (load sharing capability), the power factor (PF) and VAR (Volt-Amps Reactive).

overclocking

larger and/or faster memory and I/O buses

at the chip architecture level: redesign of the processor's components, addition of more execution components, more or larger caches or registers, or changing of the internal communications protocols
