Microprocessors Comparison

The most popular manufacturers of processor chip are Intel, Advanced Micro devices

(AMD), IBM and Motorola.

 The processors of these manufacturers are normally identified

by a model name or model number. Intel used a model number in its earlier processors but later on Intel Identified the processors with names. The Intel Core family of processors are

performance computers. The less expensive computers use the processors 01 Pentium or

Celeron. The processors for notebook computers contain the technology for wireless capabilities and improve battery life. Intel's Centrino, Centrino Pro and Centrino Duo technology provides wireless capabilities for notebook computers and Tablet PC. The mobile devices often use a processor that consumes less power and provides high performance.

Another type of processor is known as system on a chip. It combines the function of a

processor, memory and video card on single chip. It is usually used in Table PCs, networking

devices, portable media players and games consoles. Its goal is to create a processor that has a faster clock speed and consumes less energy.

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is a technique used to evaluate how various computers will be able to

handle the workload of a particular organization. A sample of the organization's regular

computing jobs run on the new systems that are being considered. Benchmarking can

provide comparison information for selecting or configuring computer systems. However, it

may be difficult to get existing jobs to run on target machines due to incompatible formals

and difficult to compare the final results between various computers.
