What does the CPU control and what does it not control?
The CPU is the main control of the computer. It controls all of the software, as it performs the calculations and logic functions. It does not control the hardware, however.
What is the difference between a P and T Intel processor?
The new "P" prefix indicates a lower power processor, with a 25 instead of 35W TDP.
How do you turn a microprocessor into a microcomputer?
A microprocessor doesn't usually have memory and interfaces to perpherals, so these need to be added.
What is the advantage Intel Vpro Technology?
Tangible energy cost saving.
It is also use WinZip to encrypt sensitive data up to 4x faster.

What is the difference between a physical CPU and logical CPU?
From operating system point of view there is no difference between physical and virtual processor. But conceptually both of these are different.
Physical Processor
The physical processor is physical entity.
Virtual Processor
Virtual Processor is logical entity. The physical processor is divided into processing units. And one or several processing units are combined together to make virtual processor. The processing capacity is distributed in terms of virtual processors and not as processing units.
For example, if we have 2.0 physical processors and we take 0.4 processing units as one virtual processor. This will leave shared pool with 5 virtual processors.
If the processing units required for a partition are 1.2 then 3 virtual processors will be allocated for that partition.
If the processing units required for a partition are 1.7 then 5 virtual processors will be allocated for that partition.
That means the number of virtual processors is rounded to the next higher level.
Difference between Scalar processor and vector processor?
Vector and scalar processors also differ in their startup times. A vector processor often requires a prolonged startup of the computer because of the multiple tasks being performed. Scalar processors start a computer in a much shorter amount of time, since only single tasks are being executed.
The superscalar processor takes elements of each type and combines them for even fasterprocessing. Using instruction-level parallelism, superscalar processing can perform multiple operations at the same time. This allows for the CPU to perform much faster than a basic scalar processor, without the additional complexity and other limitations of the vectorprocessor. There can be problems with this type of processor, however, as it must determine which tasks can be performed in parallel and which are dependent on other tasks being completed first.
Vector and scalar processors are still used on a daily basis. Some video game consoles, for example, use a combination of both vector and scalar processors. Vector processing is seen to have promise when dealing with multimedia tasks in which one instruction can address the large amount of data required for video and audio.

What does 80486 microprocessor from Intel consist of?
It contains a 32 bit CPU, a floating-point math coprocessor, unified instruction and data cache memory and memory management unit in a single IC.
Does the CPU determine how much Ram the PC can use?
More often it is the motherboard which determines the Memory which can be in a PC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_m lists the Pentium m as having comparable speed to the Pentium 4, so my initial guess would be that there wouldn't be a problem. The underlying libraries etc that a program links to are provided by the OS, not the chip, so I can't imagine there'd be a problem there.
Can AMD Phenom 9600 Quad core processor run 64 bit win7?
According to specifications, you should be able to run 64 bit OS. But some people have complained about problems while using it with x64 OSes.
Exercise caution when you purchase it because it might work for purposes you are buying it for despite the fact it was designed for it.
What is the latest technology and from what country?
The latest technology is the IPAD2. The IPAD2 came fro Japan.
Advantages of an Accumulator based CPU?
[1] the accumulator is meant to be an operand. so there is no requirement for the operand address field for one operand in the instruction. this results in short of CPU supports zero address instructions. Normally CPUs have two types of instructions:
1)zero address
2)single address
the single address instruction have one operand in main memory and the other in accumulator.
[2] instruction cycle takes less time. it saves time in instruction fetching due to the absence of operand fetching due to the absence of operand fetch.
If a computer has a "brain", it would be the CPU, or Central Processing Unit.
What happened to computer when microprocessor damaged?
The computer seizes to operate as no data processing will be made. The CPU is the principal component of a digital computer(the heart).
What is loop in microprocessor?
A loop in a microprocessor, like any loop in any programming language, is a series of instructions that is executed repeatedly until some condition is satisfied.
An example of a delay loop in the 8085 might be...
. PUSH FLAGS
. XRA A
L INR A
. JNZ L
. POP FLAGS
This piece of code, with a 1 MHz clock, will take about 4.6 mS to execute, and it will save and restore the accumulator and flags.
What is a 885 microprocessor used for?
The AMD 885 is a socket 940 microprocessor. It is part of the core of a computer system. It is, essentially, the brain of the entire computer and is a most necessary part.
No, peripherals are things like monitors, keyboards, mice etc. CPU is a major component that a computer must have to operate.
It is a processor, all other parts are peripherals.
(Some computers, some severs for example, do not need any peripherals to operate.)
How much memory you can put on your 3.0 Ghz processor?
upto 4 gb of ram on a 32 bit operating system xp
What is the advantage of Pentium to current Intel technology processor and motherboard?
None, other than that you can get a Pentium I computer for about $5.
