HARDWARE

last posted, i explained about motherboard. now i would to share about PROCESSOR.


PROCESSOR

the processor interprests and carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer.

components of processor

- control unit (CU)
  directs and coordinatesmost of the operations in the computer.
   *it interprest each instruction issued by a program and then initiates the appropriate action to carry out the instruction

- arithmetic logic unit (ALU)
  performs arithmetic operations [+,-,x,and /] and performs logical operations such as comparing two pieces of data to see if they are equal or determine if a specific condition is true or false.


manufacturer of processor

  • most processor chip manufacturers now offer multi core processor.
  • multi processor: is a single chip with two or more separate processor cores.
  • the leading manufacture of personal computer processor chips are Intel and AMD 

The Machine cycle of a Processor 
       - for every instruction, a processor repeats a set of four basic operations, which comprise a machine cycle.


so, this all about processor (for our syllabus). hope this could help you to make a notes.
