Microprocessors

A microprocessor is the heart of any computer, whether it is a server, a desktop machine, or a laptop. This single chip contains the arithmetic, control, and logic circuitry necessary to interpret and execute computer programs.

What was the platform of the AMD K6 MMX processor?

That would go on a socket-7 motherboard. Socket-7 is the same platform as what was used for the original Pentium processor. That was out around the time that Windows 95 and Windows 98 were popular.

How Microprocessors work?

A microprocessor is the main part of a computer. It is the engine of a computer that has been created on only one chip. It stores data, moves data from one memory location to another, communicates with other parts of the computer, can do computations, and is controlled by assembly language instructions, that it fetches from some memory.

How many processors does the 80486 CPU have?

It was only when Intel developed the Core Duo that they had more than one core or processor per chip

IMPROVED:

The 486 CPU was the first CPU Intel made which utilized a single processor chip for all functions. Before it, processors such as the 286 and 386 utilized two processors (an ALU and a math coprocessor) to perform tasks, as they could not fit both functions onto one.

Now, all processors have a built-in ALU and math-coprocessor. As of the Intel Core Duo they contained two separate cores in a single processor. It is still, however, a single processor! It just has two cores and thus can function as two separate CPUs. This trend continued in the Core 2 Duo line.

How does the operating system share the CPU in a multitasking system?

There are two basic ways of establishing a multitasking environment; timeslice and priority based.

In a a timeslice multitasking environment each application is given a set amount of time (250 milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, etc) to run then the scheduler turns over execution to some other process. In such an environment each READY application takes turns, allowing them to effectively share the CPU.

In a priority based environment each application is assigned a priority and the process with the highest priority will be allowed to execute as long as it is "ready", meaning that it will run until it needs to wait for some kind of resource such as operator input, disk access or communication. Once a higher priority process is no longer "ready", the next higher process will begin execution until it is no longer "ready" or until the higher priority process takes the processor back.

Most real-time operating systems in use today tend to be some kind of combination of the two.

The 16 bit microprocessor means that it has?

8 bit ALU and most of data processing registers will be 8 bit

CPUs are made of?

currently they are all made of electronic components. some used to be made of magnetic components. in the 1960s there was some work on making them of miniaturized hydraulic (fluidics) components because they would not be sensitive to radiation from nuclear bomb blasts. in the early 1940s some were mechanical. just about any technology can be used.

What is aarh in valve finish?

Arithmetic Average Roughness Height. It's unit is in microns.

Why mov R1R2 is invalid instruction?

mov r1r2 is invalid instruction because of there is no communication with ALU in its operation;

What is the fastest PowerPC processor?

The fastest PowerPC CPU used in a mass market computer was the 2.7 GHz G5 processor used in the PowerMac G5 around 2004-2005

There are other variants of the PowerPC architecture at a variety of speeds.

Is microprocessor a software?

no, it's a piece of computing equipment. It is the computer, it's the part of the computer that sends information around (to and from the memory).

What is micro controller and their uses?

a complete microcomputer on a chip optimized for device control applications.

Is a 2 GHz dual core faster than a 2.2 GHz single core CPU?

It depends on the program being run. If the program is a single threaded program, then there is no advantage of the second core, because the OS will not be able to dispatch the program to more than one core. If the program is a multiply threaded program, then the OS will be able to dispatch two threads at a time to the two cores. This is sort of equivalent to having a 4 GHz cpu. I say "sort of equivalent" because there are dynamics involved that can affect the outcome of a performance test, such as local bus bandwidth, cache hit-miss ratio and inter-thread dependencies, to name just three. Also, one 2.2 GHz core is not necessarily 10% faster than one 2.0 GHz core, due to similar issues, and due to variations in cache and pipeline size. In the real world, it is better to have more cores. Even with single threaded programs, the OS will be able to run in one core with the program running in the other and, if there are two programs running, they each can compete for a core along with the OS.

What socket 775 CPU is best for over clocking?

The Q6600 was a dream boat to OC 2.4 GhZ easily hit 3.4 Ghz
The 9650 is equally as OC'able 3Ghz running @ 4.2 Ghz stable

However the Motherboard is equally if not possibly more important.
ASUS Rampage EXTREME is the best in my opinion
Gigabyte has decent boards but nothing has come close to my ASUS..
You must have a High Performance cooler as well dont attempt with stock coolers


**Attempt at own risk** if you dont read read read you will fry fry fry :)

Where can one find a Centrino Processor?

One can find a Centrino Processor from many different stores and retailers. Some examples that sell this processor include The Best Part and Tech Parts Warehouse.

What is one pass macro processor in microprocessor?

A macro processor is software. Usually a part of a compiler or an assembler, used to program a computer.

A microprocessor is hardware, one type of computer implementation.

Very different things.

The macro processor was first created in the 1950s and was used on large vacuum tube mainframe computers (long before the first microprocessor).
