CPU Architecture - Part I by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| The processor (really a short form for microprocessor and also often called the CPU or central processing unit) is the central component of the PC. This vital component is in some way responsible for every single thing the PC does. It determines, at least in part, which operating systems can be used... |

CPU Architecture - Part II by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| All the elements of the processor stay in step by use of a "clock" which dictates how fast it operates. The very first microprocessor had a 100KHz clock, whereas the Pentium Pro uses a 200MHz clock, which is to say it "ticks" 200 million times per second. As the clock "ticks", various things happen.... |

CPU Architecture - Part III by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| IA-32 - sometimes generically called x86-32 - is the instruction set architecture of Intel's family of 32-bit microprocessors; previous microprocessor architecture had been 16-bit. It was introduced in the Intel's third generation 80386SX and DX processors in 1985. In fact, the 386SX was only a 32-b... |

CPU Architecture - Part IV by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| The P6 microarchitecture is the sixth generation of Intel's x86 processor architecture, first implemented in the design of the Pentium Pro CPU, introduced in 1995 as the successor to the original P5 Pentium design. |

CPU Architecture - Part V by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| NetBurst is the name Intel gave to the new architecture that succeeded its P6 microarchitecture. The concept behind NetBurst was to improve the throughput, improve the efficiency of the out-of-order execution engine, and to create a processor that can reach much higher frequencies with higher perfor... |

CPU Architecture - Part VI by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| What differentiates the microprocessor from its predecessors constructed out of valves, individual transistors or small integrated circuits is that it brought us, for the first time, a complete processor on a single chip of silicon. |

CPU Architecture - Part VII |
Topic: Architecture |
| In 1971, Intel's first processor - the 4004 - had 2,300 transistors. Thirty years later, the Pentium 4 had about 42 million. During that time chip makers' basic strategy for making processors faster has been to shrink transistors to enable them to operate at higher frequencies and to enable more com... |

CPU Architecture - Part VIII by MDofPC |
Topic: Architecture |
| It was in June 1994 that Hewlett-Packard announced their joint research-and development project aimed at providing advanced technologies for end-of- the-millennium workstation, server and enterprise-computing products and October 1997 that they revealed the first details of their 64-bit computing ar... |
