The CPU of a computer is a microprocessor,
based on a chip or microchip, a small piece of silicon with very large number
of electronic 'circuits on it.
The CPU interface -this is the way the CPU
is connected with the main board. There are two main formats for PC's and those
a re the "Socket", and the "Slot" formats. The various
socket and slot formats are also referred to as "packaging". The main
two brands of processors for PC's are Intel and AMD and a very small part for
VIA processors.
The AMD Athlon 64fx: processor features
innovative technology to provide extraordinary performance and a computing
experience without parallel. The ADM Athlon 64fh processor runs on AMD 64, a
revolutionary technology that allows the processor to run 32-bit applications
at full speed while enabling the coming wave oft powerful, 64-bit software
applic
processor and the world's most technically advanced PC processor. This
processor is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and tens of thousands
of PC applications that people around the world use every day. Systems based on
the AMD technology are able to deliver leading-edge performance for the most
demanding entertainment and content creation software today and in the future.
(CPU) is the nerve of any digital computer
system since it coordinates and controls the activities of all the other units
and performs all the arithmetic and logic processes to be applied to data. All
program instructions to be executed must be held within the CPU, and all the
data to be processed must be loaded first into this unit. The CPU has two
functions: it must obtain instructions from the memory and interpret them, as
well as perform the actual operations.
