In June‚ 1994 the media came out with a story that one of Intel’s Pentium microprocessors had a floating point unit flaw (FPU). This flaw had to do with a math calculation that gave out wrong number after you put in an equation. The story about this flaw came to light after Professor by the name of Thomas Nicely‚ who was a mathematics professor at Lynchburg collage. Nicely was trying to compute the sum of a reciprocal of a large group of prime numbers on his Pentium based computer. When he checked

With 50 year of history‚ Intel always is the market leader in microprocessors manufacture area; they have been made technology revolutions. Main strategy of Intel focus on innovation‚ the vision of them in official website is “Inspired Innovation that’s Changing the World” (www.intel.com). This essay will introduce the

Pentium Intel released its original Pentium Processor‚ also known as the Pentium 1‚ on March 22‚ 1993. The Pentium 1 replaced the Intel486 as Intel’s mainstream microprocessor for personal computing applications. While the Pentium 1 processors were specifically designed for use in desktop computers‚ later members of the Pentium family could accommodate laptops and other mobile devices. Reviewing some of the Pentium 1’s specifications can help you better understand the microprocessor’s capabilities

Intel processor went thru a rapid evolution beginning in the early seventies. Intel founders Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce invented the microprocessor in 1971. Microprocessors were created to handle large amounts of data at the microscopic level while microcontrollers were computers on chips made to control real time events. Intel shifted its focus to microprocessors in the early 1980s. Since then‚ it has maintained its image as maker of the world’s fastest chips. Moore’s Law Gordon Moore‚ published

64-bit processors‚ etc. Intel Corporation was founded in 1968‚ and then became a leader of the IT Industry. November 15th‚ 1971‚ Intel’s engineer Hoff invented the world’s first commercial microprocessor 4004.The breakthrough was regarded as a milestone of global IT industry. The 4-bit microprocessor only processes 45 instructions per second‚ and runs at the speed of 108KHz‚ which is even much slower than that of the world’s first computer ENIAC in 1946. But it has 2300 integrated transistors

It is a development of (and thus compatible with) older microprocessors from Intel such as 8088‚ 8086‚ 80286‚ 80386 and 80486. Computers built around these processors are usually called PC-compatible. Pentium works on the x86 architecture. There are other manufacturers of processors with the same instruction set
