...Unit 1: Assignment 1: Intel Processor Transistor Count Kellie L NT1110 Intel Processor Transistor Count After researching through several websites and reading Chapter 1 about the “Intel Processor Transistor Count”, I was able to get a much better understanding of how “Moore’s Law” actually works. The graph table I found and made my on paper drawing of (gatotkacatulanglunak.wordpress.com) presents the processor model, the year that each model was created from 1971-2011, and the transistor count from 2,300-2,600,000,000. During late 2008- early 2009 the 65-nanometer Tukwila Itanium Processor was released. This processor could run at up to 2GHz, with “dual-integrated” memory controllers and use Intel’s “quick path” interconnect instead of a “front-side bus”. This processor had 2 billion transistors on one chip (Rob Shiveley, spokesman for Intel). Based on what I have learned from my reading assignment and the graph table I have found online showing “Moore’s Law” the growth of processor transistor counts from 1971- 2011 doubling every two years, sometime around the years 2019-2020 there will be a processor with 100 billion transistors on one chip. I also predict that not until the year 2026 will we have processors with up to 1 trillion transistors on one chip. Throughout the years graphed, the growth from 1971- now seems pretty reasonable, mainly because the growth is steadily growing. However, with the advanced technology we have today...

From the advances we’ve made from the 70’s to now such as the cell phone, laptops, hand held devices. It’s no surprise that it increased so much each year. We are able to grow rapidly, and we are in a generation of technology. It wouldn’t be crazy to think that this was possible from seeing other devices progress as well, even now you can hold a computer in the palm of your hand. * The growth from 1971-2014 is outstanding. The first couple years they were released the processors had very few transistors and didn’t increase that much yearly. However, after 1974 with each year the amount of chips almost doubled itself each year. Afterwards with the years to come, the growth rapidly increased. By the year 2010 the transistor count reached 2 billion with the release of the Quad-Core Itanium Tukwila processor. * With this information it’s hard to predict when it could reach 100 billion transistors on a single chip, however seeing the growth from the 70’s to the present we can be sure that...

...Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) is an American multinational semiconductor chip maker corporation headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States and the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip maker, based on revenue. It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Intel Corporation, founded on July 18, 1968, is a portmanteau of IntegratedElectronics (the fact that "intel" is the term for intelligence information was also quite suitable). Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers andintegrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Though Intel was originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, its "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it and its Pentiumprocessor household names. Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until 1981. Although Intel created the world's first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became its primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor...

THIS PROCESSOR WAS RELEASED IN YEAR 2010. SOURCES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT CAME FROM THE FOLLOWING: GOOGLE.COM INTEL CORPORATION.COM ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO THOSE COMPANIES NAMES AND LOGOS. * FROM MY PERSONAL RECOGNITION ON THE GROWTH OF THE NUMBERS ON TRANSISTORS IS THAT OBLVIOUSLY STARTED OF SLOW. AS OVER THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY THEY SEEM TO EXPLODE REAL RAPIDLY TO THE POINT WHERE EVERY YEAR SEEMS IT JUMPS TO ANOTHER 10,000 TRANSITORS OR EVEN TO ANOTHER 100,000 TRANSISTORS. DEPENDING ON THE AMBITION OF THE COMPANY THAT IS TRYING IT HAS EXPLODED REAL FAST IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. * THE GROWTH SEEMS VERY REASONABLE FROM WHAT I SEE EVERY DECADE TRANSISTORS ON A SINGLE CHIP HAVE EVOLVED BY THE 100,000. LOOKS LIKE A SET PLAN BY THE COMPANIES OR POSSIBLY THE GOVERNMENT NOT TO ALLOW THE GROWTH TO BE FASTER. NOW A DAY’S EVERY YEAR THAT GOES BY THE LAST PC U MAY HAVE HAD IS CONSIDERED OLD. * FROM THE BEGINNING OF 1971 TO PRESENT DAY IT HAS BEEN SURPRISINGLY FAST. I CALCULATE THAT APPROXIMATELY BY 50 YEARS WE SHOULD HIT THE MARGIN OF 1 BILLION TRANSISTORS ON A SINGLE CHIP.

...3.GENERATION Third electronic generation was between 1964 to 1971. Innovations in this era include the use of integrated circuits, or ICs which were invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce . ICs are semiconductor devices with several transistors built into one physical component. Computers were able to run different applications at same time with a program that control the memory. There were invented a lot of techniques to improve proccesing. For example multiprocessing - execution of multiple processes using more than one processor in a system. Also computers were smaller in size, cheaper , faster and more reliable. Some of the most known computers in the third generation are IBM 360, Honeywell-6000 series, CDC 3000, Nokia 4004 and TDC-316. The most known computer from this generation is...

...Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors in microprocessors will double every two years. Since the introduction of the personal computer in 1971 the number of transistors in the microprocessors that make up the CPU has roughly followed Moore’s Law. There have been times when it has progressed slightly slower and there have been times that it has progressed slightly faster but overall you could use Moore’s Law as a median average for growth from the first microprocessor to the present. Unfortunately if this growth progresses at this rate it will sooner or later become unviable as a constant. Partially because the fact that current technology is on a trend towards making things smaller so unless we develop quantum transistors then at some time in the future, I would venture that somewhere around 100 trillion transistors (which if Moore’s law continues to be the median average to predict those numbers would be in about 2041) that Moore’s law will become an unmaintainable trend. I personally am a little surprised that to this day Moore’s Law has stayed as the trend as it places a large demand on the makers of computers and other personal electronics to develop new technology to stack and put a lot more processors into the CPU in a relatively short amount of time. The amount of money that has to be poured into the research to do just that has to be enormous. The transistors have to continually get smaller and we have to be able so stack more and more of them without losing...

...The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. This paper covers the evolution in microprocessors and the changes in the architecture of the microprocessor, the details of the latest microprocessors and the machines using them. The paper also discusses how the number of transistors affects the performance of processor. A microprocessor can move data from one memory location to another. A microprocessor can make decisions and jump to a new set of instructions based on those decisions. The native language of a microprocessor is Assembly Language. The above mentioned are the three basic activities of a microprocessor. An extremely simple microprocessor capable of performing the above mentioned operations loos like: Index terms—Modern, architecture, Intel, PC, Apple. I. INTRODUCTION The microprocessor is the heart of any normal computer, whether it is a desktop machine , a server or a laptop . The first microprocessor to make a real splash in the market was the Intel 8088, introduced in 1979 and incorporated into the IBM PC (which first appeared around 1982).The microprocessor is made up of transistors. CHIPA chip is also called an integrated circuit. Generally it is a small, thin piece of silicon onto which the transistors making up the microprocessor have been fixed. A chip might be as large as an inch on a side and can contain tens of millions of transistors. Simpler processors might consist of a few thousand transistors...
