Processor
• Processor is the brain of your computer.
• Some key concepts
– Clock : In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses
per second that sets the tempo for the processor.
– Cache
∗ A small but fast memory area.
∗ Levels of cache exists.
– Bus (FSB and BSB) : Collection of wires connecting different
devices.
– Pipeline : Implementation technique where multiple instructions
are ovelapped.

Processor contd...
• 32/64 bit processors
– The amount of data a processor can process in a clock cycle.
• Clock speed and overclocking
– BUS SPEED x MULTIPLIER = CPU SPEED (Clock)
• Which processor is faster?
– 100MHz x 10.0 = 1000 MHz
– 133MHz x 7.5 = 997.5 MHz

Processor contd...
• How do you pick a processor for your system?
– Performance & Cost
• How to measure performance?
– Clock speed is one measure of computer “power”, but it is not
always directly proportional to the performance level.
– The type of microprocessor, the bus architecture, and the nature
of the instruction set, all make a difference.
∗ examples : P4 3.06 GHz, P4 3.0B GHz, P4 3.0C GHz
– Check for bus speed and cache size as well.

– Typical access times 5-25 ns.
– Expensive.
– Cache memory is Static RAM.
• Dynamic RAM
– Slower, has higher access time than Static RAM.
– Typical access times 60-120 ns.
– Much cheaper than SRAM.
– Main Memory is Dynamic RAM.

RAM contd...
• Memory Bandwidth is proportional to System Bus speed.
• Dynamic RAM are further classified as
– EDORAM (Extended DataOut DRAM).
– SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) : PC100, PC133.
– DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate SDRAM)- Allows activation
of the output operation to occur on both rising and falling clock
edge and hence doubles the speed of operation.
– RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) - Developed by Rambus and Intel,
can support very high bus speeds.
