Much about processor

 ABOUT PROCESSOR 

The parameters we needed to look into is :

1. Cores
2. Clock speed
3. Catch memory
4. Overclocking
5. Hyper-Threading

 

CORES:

The central processing unit (or CPU) is what allosws your PC to perform tasks through applications and provides instructions that deliver information stored to RAM (random access memory).

CPU cores are the pathways made up of billions of microscopic transistors within a processor that help to make it work. For anyone interested in multi-tasking, you’ll need at least two cores to get the job done properly.

which add more power and capabilities than ever before. The more cores you have in your computer, the easier it is to work on a number of tasks at once.

CLOCK SPEED :

he higher your CPU speed, the more likely it is that your computer will run well across multiple applications. CPU speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz), and a cpu speed of 3.5 GHz is more than enough for most users to run your preferred software. For gaming, video editing, and other applications that need several cores, aim for a CPU speed of 3.5 GHz to 4.0 GHz for best results.

While CPU speed is important, you must also consider how it can work with your cores and how that may affect your computing experience. These two aspects of your CPU should be evaluated together to determine whether or not your computer is running at optimum speed.

CATCH MEMORY:

Cache memory is fast and expensive. Traditionally, it is categorized as "levels" that describe its closeness and accessibility to the microprocessor. There are three general cache levels:
L1 cache, or primary cache, is extremely fast but relatively small, and is usually embedded in the processor chip as CPU cache.

L2 cache, or secondary cache, is often more capacious than L1. L2 cache may be embedded on the CPU, or it can be on a separate chip or coprocessor and have a high-speed alternative system bus connecting the cache and CPU. That way it doesn't get slowed by traffic on the main system bus.

Level 3 (L3) cache is specialized memory developed to improve the performance of L1 and L2. L1 or L2 can be significantly faster than L3, though L3 is usually double the speed of DRAM.

OVERCLOCKING :

We can understand that overclock means running the processor at speed to get the maximum performance in different ways like increase the  power to the processor and also increasing the load to the processor so that the can do lot of task in short peroid of time .

REMEMBER: this may also damage the system keep this knowledge before forcing the processsor . 

HYPER-THREADING :

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology is a hardware innovation that allows more than one thread to run on each core. More threads means more work can be done in parallel.

When Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology is active, the CPU exposes two execution contexts per physical core. This means that one physical core now works like two “logical cores” that can handle different software threads. 

 for example, 

The ten-core  processor, has 20 threads when Hyper-Threading is enabled.
