Hardware Interview Questions and Answers
Question - 51 : - What Is A Microprocessor?
Answer - 51 : -
The most important electronic component on the computer. It is a programmable logical device for processing data. In the world of personal computers, the terms MICROPROCESSOR and CPU are used interchangeably.
Question - 52 : - What Is Intel Pentium?
Answer - 52 : -
The Intel Pentium is a series of microprocessors first developed by the Intel Corporation. These types of processors have been found in many personal computers since 1993.
Question - 53 : - Any Difference Between Pentium Iii And Iv?
Answer - 53 : -
There have been a number of Pentium processor lines starting with the base Pentium in 1993.The of the recent Pentium entries are Pentium III and Pentium 4.
a) In a Pentium III processor, the bus speed is generally 133 MHz (although there were a few with 100 MHz). The lowest bus speed on a Pentium IV is 400 MHz, and there are versions with much higher speeds (topping at 1066 MHz for the "extreme edition").
b) The Pentium 4s are smaller than the Pentium IIIs
c) Pentium III processors had (for the most part) about 512 KB of cache. Pentium 4 processors, on the other hand, start at 512 KB.
Question - 54 : - What Are The Differences Between Intel Celeron And Pentium Family Of Processors?
Answer - 54 : -
Celeron
According to Build Gaming Computers, Celeron processors are the low-end processor intended for standard home computer use. SciNet reports the best Celeron processor has an L2 Cache of 128kb, a clock speed limit of about 2.0 GHz and runs at a core voltage of 1.75V. These are useful numbers for comparison.
Pentium
The top Pentium processor is the Pentium 4 Prescott. CPU Scorecard reports it has an L2 cache of 1MB (1024kb), a potential 3.0 GHz clock speed and runs at about 1.4V. The lowest performing Pentium 4 processor, the Willamette, has an L2 cache of 256kb, a potential 2.0 GHz clock speed and runs at about 1.7V.
Question - 55 : - What Is Hyper Threading? What Is The Use Of It?
Answer - 55 : -
A thread of execution, or simply a "thread," is one series of instructions sent to the CPU. Hyper-threading is a technology developed to help make better use of spare processing cycles. Hyper-threaded processors have a duplicate set of registers, small spaces of high-speed memory storage used to hold the data that is currently needed to execute a thread.
When a CPU core is delayed, waiting for data to be retrieved from another place in memory, it can use these duplicate registers to spend the spare computation cycles executing a different thread. The second set of registers will be pre-loaded with the data needed to execute the second thread, so the CPU core can begin work immediately
Question - 56 : - What Is Intel Atom Processor?
Answer - 56 : -
The Intel Atom family of processors are extremely small central processing units (CPU) found mostly in ultraportable devices, such as netbooks, cell phones and tablet PCs, according to Intel. While small and light on energy use, Atom processors can handle the most common tasks, such as email and instant messaging.
Question - 57 : - What Is Nehalem Architecture?
Answer - 57 : -
Nehalem is Intel's new microprocessor architecture The Core i7 chips were the first processors ever produced using an architecture called Nehalem.
Question - 58 : - Which Is A Heavy-duty Microprocessor Of Intel?
Answer - 58 : -
Intel Xeon.
Question - 59 : - Which Is The Processor Suitable From Intel Family Of Processors For Server And Workstation?
Answer - 59 : -
Intel Xeon
Question - 60 : - What Is Main Memory In A Computer?
Answer - 60 : -
The main memory in a computer is called Random Access Memory. It is also known as RAM. This is the part of the computer that stores operating system software, software applications and other information for the central processing unit (CPU) to have fast and direct access when needed to perform tasks.
