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

1 The volatility and evolution of computer industry Starting from 1976, Apple computer created the personal computer (PC). After IBM transformed the PC from proprietary systems into open structure, PC has been dominated by Wintel (Windows + Intel) structure. Apple insists in adopting proprietary and niche market strategies made them keep losing market share till less than 3% in 2001. However, its strategy with ignoring the market trends makes it lose the market after years. 1.1 Industrial

work. Intel was heavily criticized for the flaw, and the handling of this flaw, which caused them to recall every one of the processors. Dr. Thomas Nicely discovered the bug in 1994. After emailing Intel and receiving no response, Dr. Nicely went ahead and posted a message on the internet. Word of the bug quickly spread to industry press. Intel responded by saying it was a minor issue, this was not accepted by computer users. Intel later changed its position and offered to replace every chip, which

INTEL v/s AMD When researching the differences between Intelligence processors (INTEL) and Advance Micro Devices (AMD) it is safe to say they both have importance to the type of project in which you are performing keeping in mind you can’t install an AMD processor in an Intel-compatible motherboard or vice versa. INTEL processors are the more expensive of the two more often because of their better “frames per second” which make gaming experiences better. It was found to have

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: BRAIN CHIPS When you think about Artificial Intelligence what thought first comes to mind. Robots maybe, would we ever think about Brain Chips being implanted into human brains? Sure, but how will Brain Chips plays a major role medically in are world’s future? In are near future, while we sleep they will transmit data directly from are brain to the computer and not miss a wink of sleep. Computer Interface is only the tip of the iceberg. Brain chips when they are implanted in

bridge between the CPU the RAM and some PCI Express Devices, it is also known as the Northbridge located near the top of the Motherboard. It requires a high amount of data to be transferred via the system bus. You will notice a heat sink to allow the chip to cool down otherwise it will burn through the motherboard itself. For the ICH provides data to transfer to the secondary systems, such as the USB, Audio, Mouse, Keyboard, Hard Drives etc. The ICH is also known as the Southbridge which is located

What is a Motherboard? The Motherboard is the main circuit board inside the PC. It holds the CPU and memory, provides expansion slots for peripherals, and, whether directly or indirectly, connects to every part of the PC. The essential motherboard make-up includes the chipset (known as the “glue logic”), some code in ROM and the various wired interconnections between the components know as buses. The chipset is fundamental, and controls how the motherboard interacts with everything else in the

the x86 journey, Intel has led the innovation curve in microprocessors. this has, among other things, forced Intel to kill its own profitable products, to protect its territory. The 486 was introduced in 1992. Now in 1996, we are on 3 generations of chips ahead and Intel has stopped making 486 chips, an era ago. This gives very little time to Intel to recover the product development costs before it has to commit infanticide on its successful products. There are 3 things that Intel has done worldwide

Ulhaq Prof. Husan 4/3/15 Research Paper What do chips do? We see chemistry all over the universe. Mainly we see it in the air or even on the walls of rotten down building of contamination. But it can also be created by us. We can choose what we really want to make to make even antidotes or even medicine. Today I chose a topic of something related to chemistry, something I thought would be kind of neat and interesting to learn. How computer chips in general computer hardware can be closely related
