Learn About Central Processing Unit

Learning about central processing unit is also part of the TESDA NC II Computer Servicing exam. So it is advisable to learn about these things.

Processors

Central Processing Unit - Is a complete computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip. Interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer. Processors contain a control unit and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), this two components work together to perform processing operations.

Dual-Processor

Dual-processor (DP) - systems are those that contain two separate physical computer processors in the same chassis. In dual-processor systems, the two processors can either be located on the same motherboard or on separate boards.

Dual Core Configuration

Dual-core configuration - an integrated circuit (IC) contains two complete computer processors. Usually, the two identical processors are manufactured so they reside side-by-side on the same die, each with its own path to the system front-side bus.

Dual core Processor features: 

• Hyper-Threading Technology: Enables you to run multiple demanding applications at the same time.
• Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology: Provides flexibility for future applications that support both 32-bit and 64-bit computing.
• Dual-Core: Two physical cores in one processor support better system responsiveness and multi-tasking capability than a comparable single core processor.

Processor core (An intel Core 2 Duo Chip) It has 291,000,000 transistor.
