New page

A microprocessor, sometimes called ''logic chip'' is a computer processor or microchip. It incorporates the fuctions of a computer's '''central procesing unit'''(CPU) on a singel '''integrated cirtuit'''(IC).

It runs '''programmes''' from the '''operating system''' to '''user applications'''; it just runs programmed '''instructions''' in '''low-level language''', performing arithmetic operations, such as add, subtract, multiply, divide, binary logic and memory accesses.

		+	'''Microprocessor speed'''
		+
		+	The speed of a microprocessor depends on various factors: the number of instructions it processes, the bandwidth, and the clock speed.
		+	An '''instruction''' is a command that the Microprocessor executes. The '''bandwidth''' identifies the number of binary digits that the Microprocessor can proceed on its own order. The '''clock speed''' identifies the speed that the microprocessor processes an instruction.
		+
		+	The speed of microprocessor also depends on the number of the transistors built into the Processor. The '''transistors''' in the microprocessor improve the data signals on the processor. The Larger the number of transistors built on the microprocessor the faster is the speed of the Microprocessor.
		+
		+	'''Microprocessor frequency'''
		+
		+	Microprocessor frequency specifies the operating internal frequency of CPU's core. The higher the frequency is for a given CPU family, the faster the processor is.
		+
		+	The frequency is measured in Hertz and it can be also expressed in :
		+
		+	-'''Kilohertz''' (kHz), equals to 1,000 Hertz
		+
		+	-'''Megahertz''' (MHz), equals to 1,000,000 Hertz or 1,000 kHz
		+
		+	-'''Gigahertz''' (GHz), equals to 1,000,000,000 Hertz, or 1,000,000 kHz, or 1,000 MHz
		+
		+
		+	'''Microprocessor word size'''
		+
		+	Microprocessor '''word size''' is the numbers of bits that a CPU can process at one time.
		+	Microprocessor have different word sizes usually '''powers of two''' (8, 16, 32, 64) that have predominated for many years. A microprocessor's word size is often equal to the width of its external data bus, but sometimes the bus is made narrower than the CPU to economise on packaging and circuit board costs.
