I was always wondering how such tiny IC’s could have such immense potential. Much later, when I came across the fact that even the highly complicated robots and other automations worked mainly on such IC’s, built into circuitry that made them Microprocessors and Microcontrollers,my fascination towards them increased.Also the problem-solving aspect of making electronic gadgets was truly enjoyable. In the wake of the digital revolution that is sweeping the world, I want to be present where the

1. 1.05: CPUs There are two major manufacturers of CPUs today which are Intel and AMD. The system bus, carries information into and out of the CPU. The processor is usually measured in GHz and Dual Core processors have incorporated two processors into one CPU. The most common sockets among AMD and Intel processors are the LGA 775 and 754 and ZIF locks hold the CPU into socket. Fans that are placed around or on the CPU are used to draw heat away from it and out of the case. * System bus carries

Compare and Contrast Essay Both the Personal Computer and the Macintosh have their own unique qualities to them, yet PCs still take the reins over this battlefield of computers. Although PCs are looked at as an unclean version of the newer Mac systems, they still compete toe to toe in all aspects of performance. Factors such as cost, reliability, customization, and endless others add to the conflict of which is better. Cost plays an important role when determining which system is better. With

Network-attached storage (NAS) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. NAS not only operates as a file server, but is specialized for this task either by its hardware, software, or configuration of those elements. NAS is often manufactured as a computer appliance, a specialized computer built from the ground up for storing and serving files, rather than simply a general purpose computer being used for the role

customers don't see, many don't understand, and large numbers don't care about. But Intel has built a brand around a commodity. The company was founded in 1968 and went public in 1971. By 1997, it controlled 90% of the world's market for personal PC microprocessors. Although the market is more competitive today, Intel is still the largest chip manufacturer in the world. 2. The need for an ingredient brand Intel developed the chips which set the standard for personal computing during the 1980s, beginning

Introduction to Microprocessor A microprocessor is a single chip integrating all the functions of a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. It includes all the logical functions, data storage, timing functions and interaction with other peripheral devices. In some cases, the terms 'CPU' and 'microprocessor' are used interchangeably to denote the same device. Like every genuine engineering marvel, the microprocessor too has evolved through a series of improvements throughout the 20th century
