old computer To those of you who have an Intel 8088 Microprocessor based computer, and want to buy a new machine but cannot afford it. There is an easy, inexpensive upgrade you can do to increase the performance of your old machine about 60%. (This is based on the Norton Utilities: SYSTEM INFO; computing and performance indexes). The upgrade can be done by replacing the Intel 8088 Microprocessor with a new NEC V20 Microprocessor. I first read about the V20 in an article, in PCM Magazine

memory and number of users. Broadly they can be divided it to the following categories. 1.Microcomputer: Microcomputer is at the lowest end of the computer range in terms of speed and storage capacity. Its CPU is a microprocessor. The first microcomputers were built of 8-bit microprocessor chips. The most common application of personal computers (PC) is in this category. The PC supports a number of input and output devices. An improvement of 8-bit chip is 16-bit and 32-bit chips. Examples of microcomputer

integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors, and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time, and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning of the "Fourth Generation" and a time where computers were in almost every house. IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTERS In the last decade the role of the computer has changed radically as the development of

Intel, in microprocessor chip sales. The stock market for AMD has also been performing well over the past year until recently there was a stock split, which in part was due to our development of the Athlon processor. I have read articles in the PC Magazine as well as other microprocessor expert’s blogs that all recognized the Athlon chip as the fastest and far more superior chip in the market today. In 2010, revenue increases are due to higher sales of seventh generation microprocessors and sale of

(VLIW) Computer Architecture ABSTRACT VLIW architectures are distinct from traditional RISC and CISC architectures implemented in current mass-market microprocessors. It is important to distinguish instruction-set architecture—the processor programming model—from implementation—the physical chip and its characteristics. VLIW microprocessors and superscalar implementations of traditional instruction sets share some characteristics—multiple execution units and the ability to execute multiple operations

has become a more commodity-like product. This in turn has drives the industry to embrace any cost-cutting measures in an effort to increase their decreasing profit margin. Since the quality of a personal computer is largely determined by the microprocessor and application system installed, the profitability and prosperity of the industry is dependent of the profitability and prosperity of these suppliers. 2. Potential New Entrants The threats from new entrants to the personal computer industry

entrepreneurship to a multibillion dollar enterprise that has been a household name in the technology industry. The company started, and was very successful, at creating memory for technology but then in 1984 was forced to change it strategy to microprocessors due to a shift in market share. This, as it turns out, was one of the best decisions made by the leaders of the Intel Corporation and made the company what it is today. In the early years, Intel was able to grab a large market share in the manufacture

In 1994, Intel released a microprocessor that had a major flaw that they dismissed as simple and not likely to replicate very often while in use. The Pentium microprocessor, used in both the 486DX and Pentium CPUs both included a floating point unit, also known as a math coprocessor, which was used to help spreadsheet users. Floating point units used non-integers in their arithmetic methods instead of integers, much like the previous CPUs. FPUs made the arithmetic must faster and allowed for more

2014年1月 5日 | 南京农业大学教务处制 | Embedded system is a specialized computer system that is part of a larger system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single microprocessor board with the programs stored in ROM. Virtually all appliances that have a digital interface like watches, microwaves, VCRs, cars etc., utilize embedded systems. Some embedded systems include an operating sys-tem, but many are so specialized
