A. What is the Processor ??
Processor is a chip in the form of Integrated Circuit (IC) that controls the entire
computer system and is used as an activity center or brains of the computer doing the
calculations and stints input and output. Processor socket located on the motherboard.
Processor can be replaced with other types as long as the appropriate socket on the
motherboard and the system motherboard supports the processor architecture. Processor
speed significantly affect the computer speed as this one object is a data processing center.
Processor is now often called a microprocessor because the size is very small physically, but
has great speed that process.
A. The.processor.is.divided.into.three.main.parts,.namely:
1. Aritcmatics Logical Unit (ALU) Alu is central to calculate the arithmetic and logic
operations to carry out all the commands to be executed by a computer.
2. Control Unit (CU) is part of the regulator of all traffic data and calculations performed
by the processor. the absence of control of this unit, all the calculations and the
execution should be run can be done sequentially with no overlap between the command
premises other commands.
3. Memory Unit (MU) is a unit of memory support unit, where all the commands are often
used by the processor will be temporarily stored in this section. with the memory unit,
the processor is no longer calling the same command gets lain.Dengan Thus, the time is
used to execute commands can be shortened. in modern processor memory unit already
exists on the part of its processor (CORE) and is known as cache memory. This is
affecting the performance of the speed of an Execution
B. Types.Processor
Based on the number of processor cores, the processor is divided into two kinds, namely:
1. Single core, the microprocessor which has only as much processing core part of the fruit
alone. This processor is a processor that is common under the year 2004. In this period,
to obtain greater computational results, we have to buy a motherboard that supports two
processors.
2. Multi-core, which has a microprocessor that is part of more than one processing core.
Generally an even number and a multiple of two. Eg dual core processors for two-core,
quad-core to four-core and beyond. Advantage of multicore processing is faster because
it is divided into two different core and achieve the results parallel.
Intel Corporation is a multinational company based in the USA and is very popular with
a draft of its microprocessor production and also specializes in the manufacture of circuits.
Intel also made a network card, chipset and other components. Intel already has a research
project which is very advanced in all aspects in the field of semiconductor production,
including MEMS. Intel also changed the logo and slogan at the beginning of January 2006.
The slogan is "intel inside" was changed to "Intel Leap Ahead". Here are some products to
the.Intel.processor.to.date:
1. Intel® Pentium®4
2. Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core
3. Intel® Core ™ 2 Duo
4. Intel® Core ™ 2 Quad
5. Intel® Core ™ 2 Extreme
6. Intel® Core ™ i3
7. Intel® Core ™ i5
8. Intel® Core ™ i7
AMD or short (Advanced Micro Devices) is a manufacturer of integrated circuits,
processors or an IC (integrated circuit) which is located in Sunnyvale, California, USA. The
first production plant is located in Austin, Texas, USA. and then the second factory is located
in Dresden, Germany has been set to produce the Athlon only. If all has gone well, the dream
of the price of a PC system would be cheaper and could be realized because no longer
monopolized by Intel. However, in 2006 as well, AMD has successfully acquired an
American company that is renowned Graphics ATI Technology. The company is a provider
of x86-compatible processors second largest. AMD has also been recognized by the world,
some.of.its.products,.namely:
1. AMD Sempron™
2. AMD Athlon™ FX
3. AMD Athlon™ 64
4. AMD Athlon™ X2
5. AMD PHENOM™ X3
6. AMD PHENOM™ X4
7. AMD bulldozer
AMD Bulldozer processor is claimed to be the fastest today. And that is a competitor of
Intel's Core i7. Of course we had a choice of equally qualified for the processor, either Intel
maupaun AMD. Both are equally good. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
