Question

1. Find an interesting microprocessor system and summarize it. Address the properties of the microprocessor and why this one is chosen for the purposed system. (40 Points)

Answer 1

Microprocessor:-

A microprocessor is a computer processor that incorporates the functions of a central processing unit on a single integrated circuit (IC), or at most a few integrated circuits.The microprocessor is a multipurpose, clock driven, register based, digital integrated circuit that accepts binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory and provides results as output. Microprocessors contain both combinational logic and sequential digital logic.

one of the interesting microprocessor system and its properties:-

intel core i7 processor:-

• 1 – New Platform Architecture
• 2 – Higher-Performance Multiprocessor Systems with QuickPath Interconnect(QPI).
• 3 – CPU Performance Boost via Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• 4 – Improved Cache Latency with Smart L3 Cache
• 5 – Optimized Multithreaded Performance through Hyper-Threading
• 6 – Higher Data-Throughput via PCI Express 2.0 and DDR3 Memory Interface
• 7 – Improved Virtualization Performance
• 8 – Remote Management of Networked Systems with Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)

intel core i7 processor beacuse:-

the Core i7 processors have more capabilities. They will be better for multitasking, multimedia tasks, high-end gaming, and scientific work.For the most part, the more cores you have in your CPU, the faster it will perform.

they can support twice the number of threads, making them better at multitasking. Typically all core i7 CPUs support hyperthreading on desktops.
