Timing diagram of 8085 microprocessors?
A minimum mode of 8086 configuration depicts a stand alone system of computer where no other processor is connected. This is similar to 8085 block diagram with the following difference. The Data transceiver block which helps the signals traveling a longer distance to get boosted up. Two control signals data transmit/ receive are connected to the direction input of transceiver (Transmitter/Receiver) and DEN* signal works as enable for this block. This is the same as Read cycle Timing Diagram except that the DT/R* line goes high indicating it is a Data Transmission operation for the processor to memory / peripheral. Again DEN* line goes low to validate data and WR* line goes low, indicating a Write operation In the maximum mode of operation of 8086, wherein either a numeric coprocessor of the type 8087 or another processor is interfaced with 8086. The Memory, Address Bus, Data Buses are shared resources between the two processors. The control signals for Maximum mode of operation are generated by the Bus Controller chip 8788. The three status outputs S0*, S1*, S2* from the processor are input to 8788. The outputs of the bus controller are the Control Signals, namely DEN, DT/R*, IORC*, IOWTC*, MWTC*, MRDC*, ALE etc. These control signals perform the same task as the minimum mode operation. However the DEN is an active HIGH signal which has to be converted to active LOW by means of an inverter.

Check the motherboard, see if the CPU is installed correctly
How does the CPU identify between 8 bit and 16 opertion?
Each assembly/machine instruction has a unique value which indicates what operation is to be performed, what addressing mode, etc. Typically one of these codes or bit(s) within the code would indicate if this were a 16 bit code. In this way, if the CPU received an 8 bit code with no extension for 16 bit mode, it would run the 8 bit code (assuming that when 8 bits instructions were written it didn't have to be future/forward compatible).
Will 64- bit software work with 34 -bit processor?
I assume you mean a 32-bit processor. In either case, this depends on the software. Typically secondary programs (Word processors, games, etc) have a 32-bit build included with them / hard coded into their actual 64-bit compile, and will typically work in both environments. This isn't something that will always be the case, it is sort of a fail-safe since so many people haven't made the 64 bit jump yet.
Operating systems, hardware drivers, and primary programs (Integrated OS programs such as Windows Media Player and Windows Installer) are incompatible with a 32-bit processor if they are compiled in a 64-bit environment.
This means do NOT get a 64-bit operating system if you still have a 32-bit processor. Some things may or may not work, but it will be more trouble than its worth either way.
This is not true in reverse: A 64-bit processor will have no issues running 32-bit programs, operating systems, or drivers.
Which Intel processor is faster Intel core 2 duo or the Pentium M 760?
Core 2 Duo is FASTER. Pentium M is based on OLD technology and run on a SINGLE PROCESSING CORE whereas the CORE 2 DUO has 2 PROCESSING CORES. It has higher CLOCK SPEED, FSB, CACHE. Simple!
Socket 478 is a processor socket used by certain versions of the Intel Pentium 4 and their Celeron counterparts. It consists of 478 contacts (pin holes) in a FC-PGA configuration. The Socket 478 format was replaced by the Socket 775 format.
What is the difference between a microcontroller and microprocessor?
The main differences are:
More Detail: A microcontroller is a specialized form of microprocessor that is designed to be self-sufficient and cost-effective, where a microprocessor is typically designed to be general purpose (the kind used in a PC). Microcontrollers are frequently found in automobiles, office machines, toys, and appliances.
The microcontroller is the integration of a number of useful functions into a single IC package. These functions are:
The ability to execute a stored set of instructions to carry out user defined tasks.
The ability to be able to access external memory chips to both read and write data from and to the memory.
Basically, a microcontroller is a device which integrates a number of the components of a microprocessor system onto a single microchip.
So a microcontroller combines onto the same microchip :
The CPU core (microprocessor)
Memory (both ROM and RAM)
Some parallel digital I/O
Also, a microcontroller is part of an embedded system, which is essentially the whole circuit board. Look up "embedded system" on Wikipedia.
The difference is that microcontroller incorporates features of microprocessor(CPU,ALU,Registers)along with the presence of added features like presence of RAM,ROM,I\O ports,counter etc.Here microcontroller control the operation of machine using fixed programme stored in Rom that doesn't change with lifetime.
The Differences:
The main difference between a typical microprocessor and a micro controller living there architectural specifications is the application area of both the devices. A typical microprocessor like Intel Core family or Pentium family processors or similar processors is in computers as a general purpose programmable device. In its life period it has to handle many different tasks and programs given to it.
On the other hand, a micro controller from 8051 family or PIC family or any other have found there applications in small embedded systems like some kind of robotic system or a traffic signal control system. Also these devices handle same task or same program during there complete life cycle.
The other difference is that the micro controller usually has to handle real time tasks while on the contrary the microprocessors in a computer system may not handle a real time task at all times.
In some cases, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are integrated into CPU to handle video processing tasks more efficiently. GPUs can sometimes be used for more general processing in some cases.
Another commonly integrated processor is a Floating Point Unit (FPU), which is more commonly known as a math coprocessor. While a CPU can do its job, the FPU is more efficient because it has specialized hardware and its functions are not derived from code or microcode.
In the common sense, processors in addition to the main CPU are known as coprocessors.

Can you use a CPU with a broken pin?
This all depends. It is possible that the "broken" pin was removed at the factory. Some of the 486 CPUs were like that. The SX chips likely were missing a few pins. Or, you might be lucky and the pin could be a redundant ground or not connected internally. However, more than likely, it just won't work or you will be missing some functionality.

What are the functions of the different units in the CPU?
The CPU (central processing unit) chip today includes one or more ALUs, one or more AGUs, and one or more FPUs. The ALU is the Arithmetic and Logic Unit, and that is used for common tasks. It might also be known as the Execution Unit. The AGU is the Address Generation Unit, and it is used for addressing memory. The FPU is the floating point unit, and that is for working with complex numbers. Modern CPUs also include a memory controller.
Then there is the GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit. That is what renders the graphics and outputs a display. It also addresses the video memory and also performs graphics-related tasks so the CPU doesn't have to, thus speeding up graphics.
There is the Northbridge chip. That is part of the chipset and includes tasks such as being the memory controller, providing a graphics bus (AGP controller on somewhat older PCs), and providing a bus for the Southbridge which controls the rest of the computer past that point. Most of these functions are now integrated into the CPU.
There is also a Southbridge chip. It is the circuitry which ties to the peripheral devices, the peripheral bus, the USB controller, the hard drive controller, the floppy controller (if the system has one), integrated sound, the mouse, the keyboard, and the ROM BIOS.
There is the memory, it is what holds the operating system and programs while they are in use.
There are the storage devices. The hard drive is the most common device in this class, and there are also CD/DVD devices.
There are input devices. These are your mouse, keyboard, any tablets you might have, or similar.
There are output devices. These would include the video card, the monitor, and any printers and plotters.
There are networking devices. These include network and WI-FI cards and are used to connect your PC with other PCs.
There is the ROM BIOS which is a chip containing the code used to bring up the PC. That is what initializes the computer, brings up the CPU, provides basic functionality for devices, and loads the operating system. Once the OS is loaded, it takes over most of the functions that the BIOS provides.
What kind of microprocessor does CPU have?
CPU = central processing unit
The term "microprocessor" and CPU are roughly equivalent, although the purists out there will probably say that CPUs are for larger machines and microprocessors are for embedded system or PC class machines.
The answers: these are basically synonymous terms for all intensive purposes.
