A CPU???



1.       What is the function of the CPU?

The CPU is practically the heart of any normal computer. This small chip contains the complete computation engine on it. In other worlds the CPU is what get’s the computer going, much like a human heart’s and brains function to a human body.
2.       What was the name of the first CPU?

Intel 4004, introduced in 1971
3.       Referring to the graph on page 2 of the article, describe how the speed of CPU’s has changed.


The speed of the CPU’s has dramatically increased over the years, as he Pentium 4 compared to the Intel 8088 is about 5000 x faster.

4.       What does MIPS measure?

The MIPS roughly measures the performance of a CPU. MIPS stands for ‘ millions of instructions per second’.

Most modern PC’s use what are called dual core processors. It is often stated that such processors improve multitasking.

5.       Research (Google it) what is a dual core processor, what is multitasking and how do the two work together.

The most recent trend in computing is the use of mobile devices – effectively portable computers, whether they be your smart phone, your i-Touch of some Mobile internet Device (MID). Read the article below about the Intel Atom processor then post about what benefits this processor offers mobile devices.
