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 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).

What are the prerequisites to enable Vmotion?

Shared Storage and VMFS Volume
  • Each managed host must use a storage area network (SAN). A SAN is a device with access to a server that makes the device appear as locally attached to the server's operating system. Each managed host must also use shared virtual machine file system (VMFS) volumes. The VMFS is used to store disk images and snapshots of virtual machines.

Gigabit Ethernet Network
  • A Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network is also required between hosts. A GbE network is able to transmit Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second. VMotion also requires a private GbE migration network between all hosts. When the GbE network is utilized on VMotion, the managed host can configure a unique network identity object that can be connected to the private migration network.

Processor Compatibility
  • A compatible set of processors is also a requirement. For VMotion to maintain functionality the processors of the target host have to be able to resume execution using equivalent instructions in the event that processors of the source host are suspended. Processors must come from the same vendor and processor family for compatibility with VMotion. Different versions of processors within the same family are usually similar enough to maintain effective configuration with VMotion.

Will mac operating system work with a Pentium 3 processor?

No, Mac OS X requires a Power PC processor (supported through Leopard) or an Intel Core Duo (or newer) processor since these are the only processors that are used in Apple hardware and Mac OS X may only be installed on a Mac.

What option allows you to view processes sorted by how CPU hungry they are?

Check your Task Manager, under the processes tab. You can sort it by Memory or CPU.

Where is main control unit on 1995 Nissan Maxima?

It is located in the console (under the radio). It is accessed by taking off the cover by the accelerator. The ECM can be controlled by a screw (which may be behind some tape) on the left of the device. Turn clockwise and hold for two seconds. Turn screw back to the original position. The engine light will now blink the appropriate codes repeatedly. Count the slow blinks followed by the fast blinks. So "blink --- blink ------- blink-blink-blink" would be read as 2-3.

The codes will repeat until the car is started. So, there is no rush to check the counts after you turn the screw.

How many GHz are in the Pentium 4 chip?

The Pentium 4 currently ranges from 1.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz.

How many pins does the amd socket am2 have?

The processors have 940 pins, but the AM2 slot on motherboards has 942 pin slots.

For your question, 940 is the answer. A lot of tiny easy to bend pins..

What does ROM on a router mean?

"a usu. small computer memory that contains special- purpose info (as a program) which cannot be altered" -- Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

How many parts does CPU have?

CPU have 2 Part...one is ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) and second is CU(Control Unit)

On-package L2 cache?

An L2 cache is built directly on the processor chip as an advanced transfer cache. Data is transmitted via the front side bus.

What is the difference between a normal Mobile Processor and a Centrino Processor?

There is absolutely no difference. They are simply branded differently. A "Centrino" processor is any Pentium M, Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Solo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, ore Core i7 coupled with an Intel chipset, wireless card, and integrated graphics.

What is the function of the central processing unit?

Its main function is to execute instructions stored in a memory, which allows system to perform various tasks. the cpu retrives instruction from the memory, decodes them and then executes them. this process is known as the fetch decode execute cycle.

The cpu is responsible for performing the majority of the calculations and logical operations as required by a computer. it also manages the systems memory, input/output devices and communication with other devices in the system.

additionally the cpu also acts as the control center that cordinates and synchronize the activities of other components in the system.

in summary the main function of a cpu is to execute instruction of the computer program.

in summary the main function of cpu is to execute instruction of the computer program which in turn allows the system to perform various tasks.

Which is suitable Intel processor for servers?

That depends on a few different factors. The highest-end servers will probably want Itanium processors. Mid-range servers would more likely be equipped with Xeons.
