...technology is called AMD. They are a company that develops processors for many of the leading brands of computers today. Their most recent development is a new processor chip that is supposed to be faster than their leading competitor’s (Sakr, 2014). From what this article says this new Processor chip is called the Kaveri and combines 4 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores “and gives them unheard-of levels of computing independence, such that AMD feels justified in describing them collectively as a dozen ‘compute cores. ’” From the way this article has described this new technology, it is going to make the computer gaming world’s games run faster and better in many different ways. Now many technologically knowledgeable people would be inclined to believe that this is all just marketing nonsense, but according to Sharif Sakr, the Senior European Editor of Engadget.com, says that AMD seems to be being very open with their companies thinking with this new processor (Sakr, 2014). This new technology is still waiting on home reviews from the customers who have bought this new processor, but if it lives up to what it is supposed to be able to do it should have no problems passing the reviews. According to Sharif Sakr, AMD has claimed that their new processor is supposed to completely outperform their competitor’s newest processor in the gaming world. On top of that it is also supposed to be about $70 cheaper than their competitor’s processor. AMD’s new chip is also supposed to have a lot better...

...Intel Aisha Sultana Busgr-590 In 1968 a chemist Gordon E. Moore and a physicist Robert Noyce who co-invented the integrated circuit, left the company named Fairfield Semiconductor and founded what became Intel. Intel was incorporated in California in 1968 and re-incorporated in Delaware in 1989. Intel developed x86, microprocessors for personal computer the leading PC microprocessor. These include 8086,386, 486, Pentium and the newest Quad Core and i7 processors. Intel processors are faster than their competitor’s (AMD) like processor but it cost more. Later they hired Andy Grove and several other researcher to help them. Andy Grove later became CEO in 1987; Grove was very demanding and expects high expectation from everyone. Grove was detailed oriented, pushed hard to measure everything and was constantly looking for ways to drive down costs and speed up development process. He became Intel’s strategic planner by discipline, and pushed people to their limits to get things done. By 1999 Intel has become one of the biggest and best known businesses in the world. Intel’s growth happened in a number of clear phases. It began with excellence in semiconductor manufacturing, with SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) chips its main product. Intel improved its manufacturing processes and expanded its product line throughout the 1970'a, growing its business to new levels. Intel had created the worlds' first microprocessor (Intel 4004) in 1971, and an early microcomputer...

...MICROPROCESSORS A microprocessor is like the decision maker of computers. Without processors the computer would be useless. It is also known as the Central Processing Unit or CPU. The processor does all the calculations in a computer. If there is an input it calculates and produces and output. “The microprocessor chip is an electronic device that is a computer's central processing unit (CPU) aka the brains of your computer. A microprocessor is a single integrated circuit that is a multipurpose, programmable, clock-driven, register based electronic device that accepts binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results as output”, (Bellis, Pg. 1). Just like other computer parts Microprocessors are a recent invention. It’s amazing to know how fast our computers are today and how fast they are getting day by day as new technologies are being invented. The future of microprocessors is bright. To know how microprocessors started lets go back to the first microprocessor invented, the 4004 by Intel. 4004 was the first integrated microprocessor. As like all the inventions it has improved by a lot since its invention. “Intel 4004 introduced in 1971. The 4004 was not very powerful -- all it could do was add and subtract, and it could only do that 4 bits at a time. But it was amazing that everything was on one chip. Prior to the 4004, engineers built computers either from collections of chips or from discrete components (transistors wired...

...Hourglass Syndrome There is a new medical condition now known as Hourglass Syndrome. What is this? It is a syndrome that you receive waiting on your computer to do whatever tasks you has told it to do. Yes waiting for a computer to load your documents or web sites can get a little frustrating, but do we really need to create a name for it? Even worse, do we need to label it a syndrome? According to Intel, we wait approximately 13 minutes per day using our computer. This relates to 3 days per year totally waiting. How relevant in our lives is this? Do we wait longer than that in the line of Wal-Mart buying groceries? Should we then have a label of line syndrome. There are so many labels out there all ready, should we create another. If so we could have hold music syndrome, and phone automation syndrome, and the press 1 for English syndrome. Labels do not do Americans any good. Most Americans seem to equate the word syndrome with a reason to act out. Television most recently expresses this with a commercial by GameFly. This is a company that rents video games similar to the company NetFlix. The commercial shows teenagers and adults acting crazy and throwing their televisions out windows due to buying a bad video game. Society teaches us to act as spoiled brats if we don’t get our way. The word syndrome seems to help Americans with an excuse to act out in this way. Our society does not show the ability to function as true adults. Everyone seems to want...

Sincerely yours, (Syed Shohan Shah) On the behalf of the group EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In this modern age computer is a very essential in our everyday life. It helps our every work. Without computer we can not live without a single day. It has many parts like hardware which are touchable and software which are untouchable. Computer users may use a scoring system of evaluation when there are several competing proposals for a hardware or software acquisition. They give each evaluation factor a certain number of maximum possible points. Then they assign each competing proposal points for each factor, depending on how well it meets the specifications of the computer user. Scoring each evaluation factor for several proposals helps organize and document the evaluation process. It also spotlights the strengths and weaknesses of each proposal.

...Chapter 3 Computer Hardware W1 MODERN CHIP COMPONENTS The four most important concepts in microprocessor architectures are functional units, pipelines, caches, and buses. These factors determine how fast a processor will run and how efficiently it will communicate with the outside world. Functional units are subsystems of logic circuits that carry out a program’s instructions. Different types of functional units handle different instructions. Integer units handle fixed-point arithmetic and Boolean logic. Floating-point units handle more complex arithmetic operations, involving noninteger values. Load/store units load data from and store data to memory. Pipelines work like factory assembly lines. Each stage of the pipeline handles one relatively small and simple task that comprises part of the work needed to execute one computer instruction. A simple pipeline has four stages: fetch (retrieve an instruction from cache); decode (figure out what the instruction does); execute (carry out the instruction); and write back (store the result). Each pipeline stage usually takes one clock cycle. Most modern processors have superscalar pipelines, which are two or more pipelines arranged in parallel. That way, the processor can issue and complete multiple instructions in each clock cycle. The processor may also rearrange the instructions at execution time to put them in a more efficient order. This procedure is called dynamic execution. Modern processors can operate at speeds above 1...

...9-797-137 REV. MAY 22, 2008 DAVID COLLIS GARY PISANO Intel Corporation: 1968-1997 By January 1997, Intel, a Silicon Valley start-up, had attained a stock market valuation of $113 billion that ranked it among the top five American companies. Much of Intel’s success had been due to microprocessors, a product it invented in 1971 and in which it continued to set the pace. Despite the company’s illustrious history and enviable success, its Chairman and CEO, Andy Grove, worried about the challenges ahead: Business success contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more successful you are, the more people want a chunk of your business and then another chunk and then another until there is nothing left. I believe that the prime responsibility of a manager is to guard constantly against other people’s attacks.1 This case begins by describing Intel’s origins as a semiconductor company before turning to its evolution into the leading manufacturer of microprocessors. Intel: The Early Years Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce (one of the co-inventors of the integrated circuit) and Gordon Moore, both of whom had been senior executives at Fairchild Semiconductors. They, in turn, recruited Andy Grove, who was then Assistant Director of Research at Fairchild. From the beginning, this trio was the driving force behind Intel. The company’s initial strategy was to develop semiconductor memory chips for mainframe computers and minicomputers. Andy Grove recalled that after receiving...
