Introduction To Processors - CPU (Central Processing Unit)

1995 to 2005 CPUs ranging from 100 mhz to 3800 mhz

The microprocessor or CPU(Central Processing Unit) is the BRAIN of a computer device. Manufacturers of PC-CPUs are Intel, AMD, VIA (previously know Cyrix). Some CPU brand names for PCs are Celeron, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Xeon, (Intel) and Duron, Athlon, Athlon XP (AMD). And many more latest in the market at the present. Below are shown some of the CPU’s still currently in the market but unfortunately it is getting phase out due to an emerging high performance of newest and latest processors out there::

AMD Athlon XP 2600 CPU

CPU performance is determined by clock speed (the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions) and data width. Specific architecture are running at 32 and even 64-bit version of other processor. Because of fast growing technologies, CPU manufacturer are onward producing a vast number that are currently available in the market now a days. The truth is that, CPU are the most expensive microchips on the computer ever built. Currently the most popular and dominating in the market is the INTEL processor against its rival and competitor the AMD.

Intel is featuring and unleashing its latest and powerful processors technology the:
