Dual Roar Intel Processor

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

The Intel Core 2 Duo is actually two processors (cores) engineered onto a single chip — offering virtually twice the computational power of a traditional single processor in the same space. With two cores tightly integrated, increased L2 cache, and a host of engineering breakthroughs, the Intel Core 2 Duo delivers higher performance.

Intel i960 RISC-based

Intel's i960 (or 80960) was a RISC-based microprocessor design that became popular during the early 1990s as an embedded microcontroller, becoming a best-selling CPU in that field, along with the competing AMD 29000. In spite of its success, Intel dropped i960 marketing in the late 1990s as a side effect of a settlement with DEC in which Intel received the rights to produce the StrongARM CPU. The processor continues to be used in a few military applications.

Intel 80486DX2 ceramic PGA

Sunday, December 28, 2008

The Intel's i486DX2 is a CPU produced by Intel that was introduced in 1989 . The i486DX2 was nearly identical to the i486DX but for the addition of clock multiplier circuitry. It was the first chip to use clock doubling, whereby the processor runs two internal logic clock cycles per external bus cycle. A i486 DX2 was thus significantly faster than an i486 DX at the same bus speed thanks to the 8K on-chip cache shadowing the slower clocked external bus.

Intel Processor 80486

The Intel i486, otherwise known as the 80486, was the first tightly pipelined x86 design. Introduced in 1989, it was also the first x86 chip to use more than a million transistors, due to a large on-chip cache and an integrated floating point unit. It represents a fourth generation of binary compatible CPUs since the original 8086 of 1978, and it was the second 32-bit x86 design after the 80386.

Pentium Prox86 microprocessor

Saturday, December 27, 2008

The Pentium Pro is a sixth-generation x86-based microprocessor developed and manufactured by Intel introduced in November 1995. It introduced the P6 microarchitecture (sometime referred as i686) and was originally intended to replace the original Pentium in a full range of applications. While the Pentium and Pentium MMX had 3.1 and 4.5 million transistors, respectively, the Pentium Pro contained 5.5 million transistors. Later, it was reduced to a more narrow role as a server and high-end desktop chip. The Pentium Pro was capable of both dual- and quad-processor configurations. It only came in one form factor, the relatively large rectangular Socket 8.

Intel Named Global 100

Friday, December 26, 2008

Yesterday in Davos, Switzerland, Intel was named as one of the Global 100's Most Sustainable Corporations. The announcement was made during the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. The list represents how well a company manages environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities.

Benazir’s death anniversary Dec 27 to be a public holiday in Pak

Benazir’s death anniversary Dec 27 to be a public holiday in Pak The Pakistan Government is learnt to have decided to declare Benazir Bhutto’s death anniversary on December 27 as a public holiday.

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which leads the alliance government in Islamabad, decided this at a meeting of its Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting here last evening.

The CEC met at Prime Minister’s House with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in the chair and finalised preparations for first death anniversary of the former premier, reported the Daily Times.

Badr further said that a postal stamp and a coin would also be issued on the day to pay homage to the former premier. The CEC also recommended the country’s Prime Minister to make endeavours for the nomination of Benazir for the Noble Peace Prize, the paper added.

More Powerful iMac Intel Processor

Wednesday, December 24, 2008

Now running at speeds up to 3.06GHz
Just when you thought iMac had everything, now there’s even more. More powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processors. And more memory standard. Combine this with Mac OS X Leopard and iLife ’09, and it’s more all-in-one than ever. iMac packs amazing performance into a stunningly slim space.

Intel Processor Core 2 64-bit

The Core 2 brand refers to a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit single- and dual-core and 2x2 MCM (Multi-Chip Module) quad-core CPUs with the x86-64 instruction set, based on the Intel Core microarchitecture, derived from the 32-bit dual-core Yonah laptop processor. (Note: The Yonah's silicon chip or die comprised two interconnected cores, each similar to those branded Pentium M). The 2x2 MCM dual-die quad-core[1] CPU had two separate dual-core dies (CPUs)—next to each other—in one quad-core MCM package. The Core 2 relegated the Pentium brand to a mid-end market, and reunified laptop and desktop CPU lines, which previously had been divided into the Pentium 4, D, and M brands.

Intel 4040 microprocessor

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

The Intel 4040 microprocessor was the successor to the Intel 4004. It was introduced in 1974. The 4040 employed a 10 μm silicon-gate enhancement load PMOS technology, was made up of 3,000 transistors[2] and could execute approximately 60,000 instructions per second.
Federico Faggin proposed the project, formulated the architecture and led the design. The detailed design was done by Tom Innes. The Intel 4040 microprocessor was the successor to the Intel 4004.
