MICROPROCESSOR THE REAL GENIE.. XEON AND CORE 2
July 30th, 2009 by admin
The real beauty of any computer is not the casing, not even the brand it’s the microprocessor which is the genie of the bottle. As the speed and performance of a car does not depend on its elegant looks or its comfortable seats but depends upon the horse power of its engine. In the same manner, the speed and the overall performance of the computers depend on the speed of their chips, commonly known as their microprocessor. It is their processing power that enables computers in all the tasks performed.
The story started with the 8051 microprocessor which slowly shifted to the 386 and 486 processors. The way of development of processing power was paved by making the integrated circuits with large scale integration and later with very large scale integration. The increase in processing power led to microprocessors. This further came to the era of the Pentium processors.
The legacy started with the Pentium 1 processors and now there are many different types of these processors available in the market. Many years of intensive research and development work resulted in multiplying the processing power.
Doubling of processing power of microprocessors every two years was predicted. This prediction was made by co-founder of Intel Gordon E. Moore well before the advent of Internet and other important milestones of computer applications. The prediction became true with the passage of time and it is known as Moore’s law. The growth of microprocessors has really been astounding.
The Pentium 1 evolved into Pentium 2 which then gave the idea of Pentium 3 and 4. The nomenclature surely gives us the clue that the newer versions have more bus speed then the old version of the same brand. A lot of intensive research and development work has ensured the doubling of processing power every two years has made the working of computers real fast. The work which would have taken many hours to get completed can now be done within minutes.
In the field of micro-processing Intel has been the leader all the way. Market of laptops and desktops is very different from other sectors. For example, all major manufacturers of cars have their own facility of making the engines of different capacities. But it is not so in the case of computers. No matter which company you prefer for your laptop and the desktop, the only one choice for the microprocessor is Intel.
The comparison with any other processor always put Intel in front due to its dynamic design, multi processing and multitasking techniques. The new version like Intel Xeon processor and the core 2 have really made the working of computers very easy. Core 2 defines the type of processor with Intel x 86 64 bit microprocessors. The architecture used in this domain is the eight generation architecture known as the Core architecture. The Core 2 come a step ahead of the Pentium dual core. There are different versions of these processors for the desktop, mobile laptop and higher end computers.
