It determines, the location of CPU parts, Bit sizen, number of registers, pipelines.
What CPU architectures determine.
Micro-computer processors.
- Intel -> Leading manufaturer of processors with first ever microprocessor : Intel 4004. we can note : 11th gen core -> series known for high gaming performance. Xeon (ice lake) -> Targeted at data centers ans entreprise environnement, high performance.
- AMD -> Main intel competitor. We can note : AMD Ryzen9 -> Known for gaming and content creation. AMD EPYC -> For server applications
- IMB -> Developps for Entreprise servers and offers advanced features such as IA and cloud computing.
- Others such as Apple's M1, Qualcomm Snapdragon, samsungs' Exynos....
To compare processors, we compare : -Speed. - Size of cache. - Number of registers. - Bit size. - Speed of Front side bus
Extending the processors power
To extend the porocessor power, we can use ports like modem, audio, USB, parrallel, network, serial.....
Définition
Serial and parallel ports
Connects to printers or modems, Parallele ports move bits simultaneously with parallel internal busses. Serial ones has a lower data flow and require controle wires.
