Definition and Types of Processor

Processor is often referred to as the brain and the central control computer that is supported by other kompunen. Processor is an IC that controls the whole course of a computer system and used as a center or brain of the computer that functions to perform calculations and run errands. Located on the processor socket has been provided by the motherboard, and can be replaced by another processor provided in accordance with the existing socket on the motherboard. One of the very great effect on computer speed and capacity depending on the type of processor.
The processor is a chip that is often called "Microprosessor" which now has reached its size Gigahertz (GHz). The measure is a count of the processor speed in processing the data or information. Brands that are circulating dipasatan processor is AMD, Apple, VIA Cyrix, IBM, IDT, and Intel. The most important part of the processor of the processor is divided into three, namely:

    * Aritcmatics Logical Unit (ALU)
    * Control Unit (CU)
    * Memory Unit (MU)
History of microprocessors
Starts from here:

An important sale in the computer division occurs in products for personal computers made by IBM that uses a processor 8088 intel managed to push up the name.
1982: 286 Microprocessor
Intel 286 or better known as 80 286 is a processor of the first to recognize and use the software that is used for the previous processor.
1985: Intel386 ™ Microprocessor
Intel 386 is a processor that has an embedded diprosessor 275,000 transistors such that when compared to 4004 has a 100-fold more than in 4004
1989: Intel486 ™ DX CPU Microprocessor
Processor is the first time facilitate a variety of applications that had to type in command-command should be just a click away, and has a complex mathematical functions to reduce the workload on the processor.
1993: Intel ® Pentium ® ProcessorThe new generation of processors that can handle various types of data such as voice, sound, handwriting, and photographs.
1995: Intel ® Pentium ® Pro Processor
Processor is designed for use on the server and workstation applications, designed to process data quickly, this processor has a 5.5 jt transistor is embedded.
1997: Intel ® Pentium ® II Processor
A Pentium II processor incorporates Intel MMX processor designed specifically to process video data, audio, and graphics efficiently. There are 7.5 million transistors integrated in it, so with this processor PC users can process a variety of data and use the internet better.
1998: Intel ® Pentium II Xeon ® Processor
Processor made for the needs of the application server. Intel when it wants to meet its strategy to provide a processor that is unique to a particular market.
1999: Intel ® Celeron ® Processor
Processor Intel Celeron processor is issued as a processor that is intended for users who do not really need a faster processor performance for users who want to build a computer system with a budget (prices) are not too large. Intel Celeron processor has the same shape and formfactor with an Intel Pentium types, but only to the instructions a little more, L2 cache is smaller, the speed (clock speed) is slower, and cheaper than the Intel processor Pentium types. With this release of the Intel Celeron processor back to a processor for a particular market.
1999: Intel ® Pentium ® III Processor
Pentium III processor is a processor with an added 70 new instructions that dramatically enhance the ability of high-level imaging, three-dimensional, streaming audio, and video applications as well as voice recognition.
1999: Intel ® Pentium ® III Xeon ® Processor
Intel server back on sale and issued a series of workstations with Pentium III Xeon, but the type that has 70 SIMD command. The advantages of this processor is that it can speed up the processing of information from the system bus to the processor, which also significantly boosting performance. This processor is also designed to be combined with other similar processors.
2000: Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Processor
Processor Intel Pentium IV is a product that speeds up the process is capable of penetrating speed of 3.06 GHz. First time out with a 1.5GHz processor speed formafactor pin 423, after it changed intel Intel Pentium 4 processor formfactor a pin 478 which starts from the processor Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz speed up the latest that is currently capable of penetrating up to 3.4 GHz speed.
2001: Intel ® Xeon ® Processor
Intel Pentium 4 Xeon processor is an Intel Pentium 4 processor designed specifically to act as a server computer. This processor has a pin number more than the Intel Pentium 4 processor with a memory and a larger L2 cache as well.
