interoperable, making it possible to switch between a Celeron, Pentium, Core i3 or Core i5 with integrated graphics and a Core i5 or Core i7 without graphics. LGA 1156, also known as Socket H or H1, is an Intel desktop CPU socket. LGA stands for land grid array. That's where the CPU goes. 1156 is a socket type. The Intel H55 Chipset is used with the following processors; i7-800, i5, and the i3.Its purpose is to provide the interface for the PCI express lanes on a motherboard. The Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H

of the latest and fastest processors available are the 1 Intel Core i7-980x. This is the leader in speed. For under $1,000 the “3.33GHz Core i7-980x (with overclocking to 3.6 GHz) is Intel’s flagship.” (Murphy, 2010) It's the first desktop-grade CPU with six physical cores, but hyper threading yields 12 virtualized ones. The six cores share 12MB of integrated L3 cache. The end result is a measurable performance boost for optimized applications--and a score of 147 on our World Bench 6 tests.” (Murphy

memory, and virtual memory. II. Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) Reduced Instruction Set Computing also known as RISC is a type of microprocessor architecture. It is a CPU design strategy. The purpose of RISC was for design simplification. It increases the number of executed instructions thus increasing the CPU performance. (Joy) The RISC design was first proposed and implemented in the 1960s and has been constantly evolving. Since the late 1980’s, RISC has been more than doubling its

manufactures we use in today’s market which are Intel and AMD. There are some minor competitions but don’t stay on the market for long. The system bus for the CPU is also known as the Front-side bus as it inserts the CPU and has a 64 bit data pass. In the CPU theirs a controller that controls communication between the motherboard and other components with the CPU. The ALU is responsible for performing complex calculations. Communications between the controllers and the ALU’s uses a 32 bit wide internal data

performed simultaneously by a CPU. The i3 processors have only two cores, while most of the i5 and i7 processors are quad cores. Therefore, based on the number of core, both i5 and i7 have a higher processing power compared to Core i3 processors. Cache size If a CPU finds it is using the same data over and over, it stores the same data in its cache, which is similar to RAM. According to Parkinson, both cache and RAM are used for holding frequently used data and without them a CPU would be forced to keep

project and people who have willingly helped me out with their abilities. Abstract Power consumption has become one of the biggest challenges in high-performance microprocessor design. The rapid increase in the complexity and speed of each new CPU generation is outstripping the benefits of voltage reduction and feature size scaling. Designers are thus continuously challenged to come up with innovative ways to reduce power, while trying to meet all the other constraints imposed on the design.
