Processors (CPU) Part II

Today the 2 major brands of CPUs known and used in the market for home computers are Intel and AMD and both can be found several families of processors:

Low Range
AMD Sempron Intel Celeron


Midrange
Pentium Dual Core (Pentium D and Pentium 4) AMD Athlon 64



High End
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Intel Core 2 Duo Intel Core 2 Quad



Range Mobile (mobile) Intel Celeron M


Intel Core Duo (Similar to the Pentium D) Intel Core


2 Duo Mobile AMD Sempron AMD Turion
64 (similar to the Athlon 64) AMD Turion 64 X2
(similar to the Athlon 64 X2)



range servers AMD Opteron Intel Xeon




modern nomenclature of Intel and AMD processors

formerly defined the different models of processors within the same range by the speed in MHz reaching each of the processors, for example there is a 3GHz Intel Pentium 4 (running at 3000MHz, or what is same 3GHz) today that has changed. Nomenclature

Intel
this series is composed of:
-Series 3 and 4 (Celeron)
-series 5 and 6 (Pentium 4)
-Series 7 (Pentium M)
-series 8 (Pentium Extreme Edition)
-series 9 (Pentium D)
-2xxx series (Pentium Dual Core)
-series E4 / E6 (Core 2 Duo)
An example would be : Intel Celeron 320 (this processor runs at 2600MHz), or Intel Pentium 4 550 (this processor runs at 3400MHz) AMD Nomenclature

are based on the comparison in speed over its competitors processor (Intel), thereby calling eg one of its AMD Athlon 64 3000 + (running at 2000MHz) because according to AMD is as fast as an Intel Pentium 4 3000MHz, despite having a lower clock speed, this will get better elsewhere such as quality and speed cache memory or internal programming or design their processors. One must therefore take into account where the name of an AMD does not match the internal clock speed, which many people are unaware. Connecting




CPU CPU plugs into the motherboard on a piece called socket. There are several types of socket, according to the processor that will be assembled in a particular plate, and are named with a 3-digit number, the current ones are:

775 Intel Celeron D, Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium DC and Core 2 Duo 771



Intel Xeon AMD Opteron 940

AM2 AMD Sempron, Athlon 64, and Athlon 64 X2
