i7 core. It retrieves the instruction that it needs to run from program memory. * Intel- is a processor represents the processor’s functions. The processor depends on the speed, front bus speed, L2 cache size, architecture and other processor features. It has large numbers in the same family. * AMD- (Advanced Micro Devices) concentrates primarily on CPUs, chipsets, and other micro-processors, but Intel delves into many other markets including networking technologies, motherboards, and much

Gordon Moore, a cofounder of Intel, noticed a trend of the capacity of each new chip that was created compared to its predecessor. He found that the size nearly doubled every two years and this still holds true for today. Below is a graph showing the transistor count vs. the year the transistor was introduced and we can see that every year the count increases in a linear fashion. This is actually amazing because not only is the count of transistors increasing the chips themselves are decreasing

1. Explain the difference and the relationship between information technology (IT) and information systems (IS). Information Technology and Information Systems work hand in hand in many business scenarios, although they are not the same. Information Technology (IT) refers to the technological side of an organization, but is not limited to communications. The IT department is the division of engineering that deals with the use of computers and telecommunications to get, transmit, and store information

The key marketing challenge Intel is facing today is generating awareness about the mosaic of technological possibilities using the microcontroller based computers. To tackle this issue without having to enter unexplored markets and face the risk of diluting the brand is another major challenge. Intel, with a share of nearly 80% of the Microprocessor market, could be termed the “ingredient” monopoly of the PC market but with products like Cell phones and PDAs on the rise and with market share as

| CPUCentral Processing Unit | | | | NT1110- | | This video was about the components and functions that take place in the CPU. The video creates a visual of more or less where the components are, how they connect and what’s happening inside the CPU. The Information in this video was very specific and explained all the different elements of a CPU very well. I learned that there are a lot of things happening all simultaneously in the CPU. I also learned about the different components

ejohn@utsa.edu 2 Abstract. The contentious debates between RISC and CISC have died down, and a CISC ISA, the x86 continues to be popular. Nowadays, processors with CISC-ISAs translate the CISC instructions into RISC style micro-operations (eg: uops of Intel and ROPS of AMD). The use of the uops (or ROPS) allows the use of RISC-style execution cores, and use of various micro-architectural techniques that can be easily implemented in RISC cores. This can easily allow CISC processors to approach RISC performance

The History of Computers http://inventors.about.com/library/blcoindex.htm "Who invented the computer?" is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention. This series covers many of the major milestones in computer history (but not all of them) with a concentration on the history of personal home computers
