But all these different tasks would be done better and faster with the Pentium 4 computer than with the Pentium 2 computer. The computer with «Pentium 4» chip is better than the computer with «Pentium 2» chip. As I’ve already said‚ different types of tasks can be done better by the more powerful computer. The measure of power or performance among computers is the number of machine cycles

computer and it is only on one chip. Winn L. Rosch compares them to being an electronic equivalent of a knee-joint that when struck with the proper digital stimulus will react in the exact same way each time (Rosch‚37). More practically a microprocessor is multitudinous transistors squeezed onto as small a piece of silicon as possible to do math problems as fast as possible. Microprocessors are made of many smaller components which all work together to make the chip work. A really good analogy for

AMD vs. Pentium A couple of years ago when Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) introduced it’s K5 microprocessor‚ the phrase “too little‚ too late” was plastered across their name countless times. At that time‚ if anyone were to name an underdog to the Intel dominated microprocessor market‚ Cyrix with their dirt-cheap 5x86 processor would have been the favorite. Intel had been the only processor that could handle day-to-day functions at reasonable speeds. Such simple tasks as

controllers required to control standard peripheral devices‚ such as the display screen‚ keyboard‚ and disk drive. Collectively‚ all these chips that reside on the motherboard are known as the motherboard ’s chipset. On most PCs‚ it is possible to add memory chips directly to the motherboard. You may also be able to upgrade to a faster CP by replacing the CPU chip. To add additional core features‚ you may need to replace the motherboard entirely.

The cost of making electronics was greatly reduced due to the integrated circuit‚ which impacted the designs of all future computers and other electronics. AMD and Intel‚ two major

It could also address more memory‚ up to 16KB. This chip was primarily used in dumb terminals and general-purpose calculators. The next chip in the lineup was the 8080‚ introduced in April 1974‚ running at a clock rate of 2MHz. Due mostly to the faster clock rate‚ the 8080 processor had 10

take place. In terms of computing power‚ the CPU is the most important element of a computer system. On large machines‚ the CPU requires one or more printed circuit boards. On personal computers and small workstations‚ the CPU is housed in a single chip called a microprocessor. Since the 1970’s the microprocessor class of CPUs has almost completely overtaken all other CPU implementations. The CPU itself is an internal component of the computer. Modern CPUs are small and square and contain multiple

understand how dynamic RAM and static RAM chips work inside‚ it is easy to see why the cost difference is there‚ and you can also understand the names. Dynamic RAM is the most common type of memory in use today. Inside a dynamic RAM chip‚ each memory cell holds one bit of information and is made up of two parts: a transistor and a capacitor. These are‚ of course‚ extremely small transistors and capacitors so that millions of them can fit on a single memory chip. The capacitor holds the bit of information
