Introduction to Com puter Processor

Before discussing about i3, i5 and i7 processor, let us have

a small introduction of processor.

A machine that processes something is a processor.
An electronic circuit which executes computer programs,
containing a processing unit and a control in computer CPU
processes the machine.
A central Processing unit is the hardware within a computer
system which carries out the instructions of a computer
program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and
i/o operations of the system.

Com ponents ofa processor

Two typical components of cpu:
The alu performs arithmetic and logical operations.
The cpu extracts instructions from the memory and decodes

and executes them,

Calling on the alu when necessary.
The cpu is comprises of several components that executes
specific functions.
1. Execution unit
2. Branch predictor
3. Floating point unit
4. Primary cache
5. Bus interface
6. Processor clock

1960 cpu by ibm

By the end of the 1970s technology had reached the

point where CPUs could be commercially produced and

were the size of a fingernail.

During the 1980s, CPUs became a

standard components in consumer electronic &could be

found in camera, tv and pocket calculator etc...
By the next decade, due to small size & chip cost the CPU
allowed computer to cross over from the industry to

M icroprocessor
Fabrication of ALU unit & control unit in a single IC package is known

as microprocessor and is known as the brain of computer.

Its the example of sequential digit logic as it has internal memory.
It includes: Control unit
Alu
I/O unit
Register unit
Memory unit
Type of Microprocessor designed
1. 8-bit design
2. 12-bit design
3. 16-bit diesgn
4. 32-bit design
5. 64-bit design

Concept ofG EN ERATIO N

The term Generation is applied to

Intel processor to mean new and

significant developments in
processor architecture or function.
And all intel team is ultimately the
one deciding the names 2nd, 3rd ,4th
and so on generation.

4 th G eneration IntelCore
Processor & Advantages
4th Generation Intel Core processor,

more advanced, faster and new line of

low-power processor, have arrived in
2013, aims to set a new standard for
mobile computing experience and
innovative Ultrabook, and tablets
designs

Inteli3 processor.
The only question I have is if there's

any advantage to using a Core i3 over a

Core2Duo.
The Core i3 is a 3.2 GHz dual core chip,
and it's quite a big improvement over
the Core2Duo. It's a good 700 MHz
faster, much faster bus with
significantly faster RAM.
The first Core i3 processors were
launched on January 7, 2010.

Inteli5 processor.
I5 provides the opportunity to the

users to use the system with multi

tasking.
A big feature of the I5 processors is

that they have ability to run two

multitasking processors together that
are generally called as dual processors
and can increase the working
performance of the system efficiently..

 Turbo boost technology of I5

processors is the
key beneficial
feature of the I5 processors that
allow the users to do their regular
and important working with the help
of heavy applications

 As I5 processors are more advanced as

compared to the I3 or all the previous

versions of the processors. It has lot of
features that deals the advanced
technologies in a very respectable way.
Basically I5 processors are introduces to do

the intelligent networking and enhance the

performance of the working for the sake of
different purposes such as for gaming, faster
working, reliable data transmission etc.

Features ofi5 processor.

I5 processors have ability to work with

integrated memory and can enhance

the performance of the applications.
The increase the memory up to 1333
MHz
as I5 processors have high speed

performing rate so they are able to

perform at the maximum CPU rate of
3.6 GHz

 turbo technology is present in the device

that boost up the working speed of the

computational systems
It provides the 64 bit architecture for the

users for the reliable working.

Micro architecture for the I5 processors

was presented by the Nehalem and these

processors have a cache rate up to 8 MB.

 I5 also provide the opportunity to the users

to use the system with multi tasking.

A big feature of the I5 processors is that

they have ability to run two multitasking

users for multitasking and improves their
business or working by working on the
two different tasks at the same time.

i5 over i3.
This is the mid-size processor of this bunch,

recommended for those who demand a little

speed, but not quite enough where the user
will be able to run intensive applications.
As with the Core i3 processor, this comes
with 2-4 cores, the main difference is that it
has a higher clock speed than the Core i3.
This is also a heat and energy efficient
processor, but it does seem to be better at this
particular job than the Core i3.

 The number of threads used in this is no different

than the Core i3 with 2-4 threads, and it also

uses hyperthreading technology for a boost in
performance.
The cache of the Core i5 is bigger than the Core

i3, its at 3-8 MB.

The Core i5 is where the turbo mode is made

available, this provides users with the

opportunity to turn off a core if its not being
utilized.

Inteli7 processor.
Intel developed different types

processors for the users for the sake of

faster working as compared to the
previous versions. After the
development of I3 and I5 processor
Intel introduces a new version i.e. I7
processor that is comparatively faster
than the old ones. Basically I7
processors were designed to meet the
challenges of the intelligent and the
faster working performance of the
computer system. They were designed
in 2008 and were announced in 2009
just after the I5 processors.

Feature ofi7 processor.

With the help of I7 processors users can enjoy the

high speed working with the additional feature of

the multitasking i.e. using two different documents
or the files at the same time.
Dual core technology is also a part of I7 processors
that provide reliable and high data rate working
performance to the customers.
A big feature of the I7 processors is the Turbo Boost
technology. This technology provides the high
performance to the system to the users to
overcome the work load of different applications on
the system and maintain the speed of the system.

 Like I5 and I3 processors I7 also have a

feature of Hyper threading technology

enhances the activity and the speed of the
system by managing the multitasking,
work load and different types of heavier
applications of the users.
I7 processors are so advanced to deals with
the integrated memory of e system and
have ability to increase the memory up to
1066 Mbits and provide the working speed
of 25.6 GB/sec.

TechnicalSpecifi
cations ofI7 Processors:
I7 processors have integrated memory up to

1066 Mbits and can provide the faster working

for applications.
I7 processors are also able to supports cache
that is very important for the high rate
performance and can support up to 8 to 12
MB.
the higher clock speed of the newt poking of
the I7 processors is 3.2GHz i.e. is why these
are very famous among the users to meet the
requirements of the latest technological world

 there are many other technologies that

really make the processors and the system

powerful such as high visualization, and
can support up to 64 bits, with the help of
these specifications system maintains the
working of the BIOS and other chipset
devices
There are different types of cores involved
on the manufacturing of the Intel I7
processors but the common cores that are
involved are Bloomfield or Lynnfield etc.

Advantages ofI7 Processors:

As we know that I7 is latest

processors for the systems that re

able to support dual processors
technology and provide the faster
and the convenient working
performance to the users for the
sake of better working. Due to its
advancement I7 processors has
many advantages, some of them are
listed below

 they are faster from the old versions of

the processors given by the Intel and

can support dual processor technology
Provide high data visualization
technology to the users to view the high
quality images and video graphics.
Instead of advantages the main and the
major disadvantage of the I7 processors
is that they are very much expensive to
install.

i7 over i5.
This is for the users that demand power,
The cache on this one is for the users that demand

more cache memory.

The cache on this one is 4-8 MB.
This processor comes with 8 threads, definitely enough
to get the job done quickly, maybe even at the speed
of light. And yes it also utilizes hyperthreading
technology.
You will have four cores to take advantage of with this
particular series.
And just like the other ones in this Intel series of
processors, it is more energy efficient and produces
less heat.
