- 2. PROCESSOR -CPU The CPU,or the Central Processing Unit, is the brain of the computer and one of the most important chip in the computer. New CPUs are small and square and contain multiple metallic connectors or pins on the underside. The CPU is inserted directly into a CPU socket, pin side down, on the motherboard.
- 3. 1. Manufacturer: The twocommon manufacturer for Desktop and Laptop computers are Intel and AMD Choosing a processor manufacturer will Depend on which motherboards are compatible with your CPU.
- 4. To view IntelProcessors, access www.intel.ph, click Menu, click products and choose Processors.
- 5. To view AMDProcessors, access www.amd.com, click Menu, click products and choose Processors.
- 6. Intel was foundedon July 18, 1968, by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore who left Fairchild Semiconductor to do so. Originally called “NM Electronics” for Noyce and Moore, the company purchased the rights to use the name “Intel,” short for Integrated Electronics, from a company called Intelco. The term “intel” already being associated with “intelligence” was a bonus. Most of what I learned as an entrepreneur was by trial and error.
- 7. 1969 Co-founder Jerry Sandersnamed AMD’s first president and CEO. AMD incorporates with $100,000; establishes headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. Advanced Micro Devices was formally incorporated on May 1, 1969, by Jerry Sanders, along with seven of his colleagues from Fairchild Semiconductor
- 8. 2. Processor type: DesktopProcessor - use to build a desktop computers.
- 11. 4th generation Intel®Core™ processor family Processor numbers for the 4th generation Intel® Core™ processors use an alphanumeric scheme based on generation and product line following the brand and its modifier. The first digit in the four-number sequence indicates the generation of processor, and the next three digits are SKU numbers. Where applicable, an alpha suffix appears at the end of the processor name, which represents the processor line. Intel® High End Desktop Processors follow a different numbering scheme due to the difference in their feature set.
- 20. Intel® Core™ i7-5930KProcessor (15M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz) Brand Brand Modifier Generation Indicator SKU Numeric Digit Product Line Suffix Quick on-board CPU memory Frequency
- 21. The AMD FX-Series,which is only available for desktop computers, works like this. We’ll use the FX-8350 as an example. The product line will always be FX, so let’s skip to core count. This is a simple one-to-one translation. If it’s an FX-4100, it has four cores. If it’s an FX-8350, it has eight cores. And so on.
- 22. AMD’s mainstream APUs,which include integrated Radeon graphics, follow a different formula. Let’s use the AMD A8-5600K as an example. The product line tells you if a product is an A- Series, E-Series processor, or C-Series processor. The A-Series is AMD’s mainstream laptop and desktop processor line, and the E-Series and C- Series are meant only for inexpensive, low- power systems like netbooks and tablets (in other words, they’re slower).
- 23. Mobile Processor -are used for notebooks and other mobile computers.
- 24. Server Processors -used in servers computers. Each type have different performance, power consumption and price.
- 25. 4. The ProcessorSocket Type: The processor socket is where you will insert the CPU. To ensure that they are compatible, match your motherboard socket type with your CPU socket type and always refer to the motherboard manual for the list of compatible its compatible CPU.
- 26. 5. Core: A multicoreprocessor, as the name implies, actually contains two or more processor cores in a single processor package. From outward appearances, it still looks like a single processor (and is considered as such for Windows licensing purposes), but inside there can be two, three, four, or even more processor cores. A multicore processor provides virtually all the advantages of having multiple separate physical processors, all at a much lower cost. You’ll usually notice that a core is associated with a particular series. The core is a good indicator of performance, before considering other important factors such as frequency (speed in GHz) and cache (Very fast onboard CPU memory) that is.
- 27. 6. Frequency: Still themost important factor in performance for today’s cpus, the frequency represents the speed at which the processor runs, in GHz (1GHz = 1024MHz). Video games performance is very dependent on frequency, to the point where a fast dual-core processor will outperform a slower quad-core processor in most video games
- 28. 7. FSB, Hyper-Transportor QPI: This is the speed at which your processor communicates with other components in your system, such as the memory for example. A higher speed means higher bandwidth, or in plain English, your system will be able to move more data in a given time, increasing performance in specific cases. You must make sure that it meets or is lower than your motherboard supported speed in order for your processor to function with the motherboard.
- 29. Note that theprocessor data bus is also called the front side bus (FSB), processor side bus (PSB), or just CPU bus. All these terms refer to the bus that is between the CPU and the main chipset component (North Bridge or Memory Controller Hub). Intel uses the FSB or PSB terminology, whereas AMD uses only FSB.
- 30. 8. L2/L3 cache: Cacheis really quick on-board cpu memory, much faster than RAM, that your processor use to store data that is about to be processed and/or is used often. The more cache you have, the more data your processor can store for ultra-quick access and the more performance you’ll get out of your processor. Video games performance greatly benefit from more L2 and L3 cache.
- 31. 9. 64-bit support:Whether your processor supports 64- bit software or not. Just like everyone switched from 16- bit to 32-bit many years ago, in order to be able to use more memory in our computers, we are now switching to 64-bit, in order to lift the 4GB memory limit of 32-bit.
