CPH Micro Project PDF

The document discusses computer processors and their cores. It explains that a processor performs calculations and basic instructions to run a computer. Processors have evolved from single-core to include multiple cores. Common multi-core processors include dual-core with 2 cores, quad-core with 4 cores, hexa-core with 6 cores, and octa-core with 8 cores. Having multiple cores allows for simultaneous processing of multiple instructions to improve overall program speed.

Computer Peripheral

Guided By :- Sayyad Mam
 A processor is an integrated electronic
circuit that performs the calculations
that run a computer. A processor
performs arithmetical logical,
Input\Output (I\O) and other basic
instruction that are passed from an
Operating System (OS).
 Most other processor are dependent
on the operation of a processor. The
terms processor, CPU and
microprocessor are commonly linked.
 The processor sits inside of a small socket near the
middle of the motherboard, and on top of executing
code for our programs, it also controls how the other
computer components communicate and operate.
The processor’s power is measured in megahertz,
and more recently gigahertz, with a higher number
representing more processing power.
 A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and
processes the basic instruction that drive a
computer. The four primary functions of a processor
are fetch, decode, execute and write back.
 Microprocessors are classified according to their
word length such as 8 – bits, 16 – bits, 32 – bits and 64
– bits microprocessors.
1. Single – core CPU : One core inside single CPU that
handle all the processing.
A chip with one CPU (one
processing unit).
Microprocessors have been
single core since their
inception in the early 1970s.
After the turn of the century,
chips with two or more CPUs
emerged.
2. Dual – core CPU : Two cores inside a single CPU in
which both cores can process information at the same
time.
Intel's first dual-core chip for
Centrino laptops. Introduced
in early 2006, the 32-bit Core
Duo CPU was also the first
x86 chip used in the Mac, as
Apple transitioned from
PowerPC to x86
3. Triple – core CPU : Three cores inside a single CPU that
is actually quad – core processor with one of the cores
disable.
These cores are units that read
and execute different program
instructions. The availability of
three different cores in a single
unit helps to execute multiple
instructions simultaneously,
which greatly improves overall
program speed.
4. Quad – core CPU : Four cores inside a single CPU.
Quad-core processors were the
second step in the move into
multicore systems that started
with dual-core processors in 2005.
Quad-core CPUs continue to be
popular in all types of systems,
including smartphones,
computers, PC gaming and data
center servers.
5. Hexa – core CPU : Six cores inside a single CPU.

Hexa Core CPU performs


tasks faster and with
better efficiency
than dual-core (2-
core) and quad-core (4-
core) processors. Intel
first released the i7 Hexa
Core processor in 2010.
6. Octa – core CPU : Eight cores inside a single CPU.
In the octa core processor,
these eight cores are
arranged in two sets of
four processor cores.
Hence, each set can
perform the function of a
quad-core processing
system.
