Production Technology Processor With nano meter

Until now, the producers still use the processor is the same as the previous years in the making of the processor, which is using nano technology. Efforts continue to be done is the structure on the chip. In this way, will benefit, among others, the electricity capacity and lower power loss will be reduced. In addition, miniaturisasi this will provide a space that is able to accommodate more transistor.

CPU manufacturer

Two world's largest processor manufacturer, Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc., has been to present the dual core processors and quad core at this time. In the future, the number of cores will be increased significantly. Intel has even created prototype processor berinti 80. However, this processor can not be used because there is no operating system and software applications that support it.

Indeed, part of the PC at this time have not felt the dropping of the hardware technology, software as operating systems like Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS is still able to bridge the gaps that exist. However, when the core ditanamkan in sekeping chip become more, the software technology will not be able to compensate more complex multicore processors.

Processors

In general, the computer system consists of a number of CPU and device controllers are connected via a bus that provides access to memory. Typically, each device controller responsible for a specific hardware. Each device can operate the CPU and the competitor to gain access to memory. There is some hardware this can cause synchronization problems. Therefore, to prevent a memory controller is added to the synchronization memory access.
