Install and Configure CPUs Flashcards
Lesson 2D
executes program instruction code. Applications run and assembled into instructions utilizing the fundamental instruction set of the system memory.
central processing unit (CPU)
enhances performance by storing instructions and data that the CPU is using regularly.
Cache
A typical design implements a system-on-chip (SoC). SoC means that all the controllers—video, sound, networking, and storage—are part it.
Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) CPU
CPU faster and better instruction pipeline is The basic approach to do the most amount of work possible in a single clock cycle.
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) / HyperThreading
is to use two or more physical CPUs in a two socket motherboardthat is costly. Mostly used on servers and high-end workstations than on desktops.
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
a microprocessor with a single CPU on its die. It performs the fetch-decode-execute cycle one at a time, as it only runs on one thread.
single-core CPU
a single physical chip that contains multiple independent processing units, called “cores,” allowing a computer to perform multiple tasks simultaneously by utilizing each core for a different operation.
multicore packages
a computer can be made more efficient and useful by configuring it to run multiple operating systems at the same time.
virtualization
Intel and AMD use different …… of a motherboard. Intel uses land grid array (LGA) / AMD uses pin grid array (PGA)
socket types
is limited to the same generation of CPUs. The CPU must be supported by both the physical form factor / CPU socket / chipset. EX. Intel Core (i3/i5/i7/i9) / AMD Ryzen (A and 1 up to 9)
motherboard compatibility
Another name for a basic PC as used at home or in the office.
Desktop
name of business PC or network client, also used as mean a high-performance PC, such as one used for software development or graphics/video editing/server-class computers.
Workstations
Has CPUs w. multiple cores with support for multithreading, giving raw processing power it needs to service requests from hundreds or thousands of client systems, also tens of gigabytes of ECC RAM with additional levels and amounts of cache memory.
Servers
Overall name of Smartphones, tablets, and laptops need to prioritize power and thermal efficiency plus weight over pure performance. uses ARM-based CPUs for this reason.
