Processor


Development of technology, especially computer technology is very rapid, not to mention satisfied using the product we buy has appeared new products and old products from the computer into Diskontinue or no market. Especially with the processor, the processor is very rapid development, the development has sparked the development of a computer processor such as memory and other motherboard, not just the development of hardware and even software development is increasing, so our old computer was outdated when we bought new two years.

Processor is a hardware device that serves as a central regulator of the overall control and data processing activities on the computer.

Parts - Inside Processor

1. Register
Part processor that has a high transfer rate and is useful as a container while at the processor is processing data. Specifically, the register storing the location where the instruction will be taken, save when the decoded instruction, storing data at the ALU processing, and as well as storing the calculation results of the ALU. Register consists of 16.32, and 64 bits.

2. ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
Part processor that is used to perform calculations and logic operations at the time the processor works.

3. CU (Control Unit)
Serves to translate the instructions into commands and executes the command.

What to Look on the processor

FSB (Front Side Bus)

FSB serves as a data transport path to the processor. If the FSB higher, the amount of data to be transferred to the higher. For Intel processors, the FSB is using a technology called quad pumping with units of Hz (hertz). FSB Quad Pumping is 4 times that of native FSB. For example, if the FSB is written on the brochure of 800 MHz, then the original FSB processor is only 200 MHz.

While AMD processors using the technology called HyperTransport FSB with units of T / s (transfers per second), which can double the bus width is used. Actually this technology as technology DDR (dual data rate) which can run at the time of the signal up or down signal. For example, if the original FSB running at 1000 MHz HyperTransport effective then running at 2000 MT / s.

Cache Memory

Cache Memory is part of the processor that serves to store data to be processed by the processor, cache size determines the amount of data that can be processed by the processor in one go. The units used in the cache memory is a byte. Levels in the cache of the most rapid are:
L1 Cache: fastest (currently around 30 GB / s)
L2 Cache: slower than L1 Cache (currently around 12 GB / s)
L3 Cache: slower than L2 cache (not present on most processors)

Core / Clock Speed

Core / Clock Speed ??is the speed of the processor used to process the data, with units of Hz.

Pin
Pin is the foot that can be mounted directly on the processor socket on the motherboard. But to pin LGA processor is not located in a processor but the motherboard.
