...Pentium Flaw Assignment Requirements 1. Search the Internet for information about the Pentium microprocessor flaw, using keywords such as “Pentium microprocessor flaw.” 2. Determine the nature of the Pentium flaw, how it was discovered, when it was discovered, and Intel’s response to the flaw. * How it was discovered: Thomas Nicely, a math professor, was computing the sum of the reciprocals of a large collection of prime numbers on his Pentium-based computer. * When it was discovered: Summer/Fall 1994 * Intel’s response to the flaw: Statement “an error is only likely to occur once in nine billion random floating point divides”, and that “an average spreadsheet user could not encounter this subtle flaw once in every 27,000 years of use.” 3. Write several paragraphs explaining what you think of Intel’s response to the Pentium flaw. Be sure to include answers to the following questions: * Did Intel handle the problem correctly? No, because of instead of fixing the problem, they gave excuses of why it was an error and how often that error would occur. * What did Intel do to satisfy customers concerned about the flaw? Since Intel got a lot of heat from the media and customers, they announced a free replacement Pentium for any owner who asked for one. * What would happen if the same type of flaw were found in a new CPU today? They wouldn’t ask to explain why you need a replacement. It’s a defect in the manufacture and they have to replace...

...Unit 1 Assignment 1 Integrated Circuit Technology A motherboard is the backbone of the personal computer, it transfers information and power to all the other components. The motherboard is the largest board inside of the computer that contains the basic input and output system that allows every component to communicate with one another. Attached to the motherboard is a chip comprised with dozens of pins called the central processing unit. Along with the CPU attached to the motherboard is the dual-inline memory modules a part of the random access memory. RAM is the most common type of memory used another type is ROM, read only memory, which stores data onto metal disc within the device. The operating system manages the hardware resources and provides a place to run programs. The last components of the personal computer are the tower and the human interface devices. The tower holds all the components that make up the computer except for the HID which are located outside of the computers tower. The main purpose of the HID’s are to help us interact with the computer, a few examples are the keyboard, mouse, monitor, video camera and speakers. You put together the Motherboard, CPU, RAM, ROM, OS, Tower, HID’s add a power supply and you have a basic personal computer.

The growth of transistors in integrated circuits over the years is right on track with what was predicted in Moore’s Law. Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on integrated circuits would double every two years. Sometimes the number of transistors has doubled in less than two years. I think the growth is reasonable based on what Gordon Moore predicted. If Moore’s Law continues to be the truth then I estimate that around 2022 is when 100 billion transistors will fit on a single chip and around 2028 is when one trillion transistors will fit on a single chip.

...Andoni Harrison Intro to Computer Hardware SHJC Assignment # 8 1) State how many Generation of Processor there are. There are six generations of Processor. 2) Explain each of the Generation of Processor. P1 (086) Processor - Intel introduced the 8086 back in June 1978. The 8086 was one of the first 16-bit processor chips on the market; at the time, virtually all other processors were 8-bit designs. The 8086 had 16-bit internal registers and could run a new class of software using 16- bit instructions. [pic][pic] P2 (286) Processor - In 1982, Intel introduced the Intel 80286 processor, normally abbreviated as 286. The first CPU behind the original IBM PC AT (Advanced Technology), it did not suffer from the compatibility problems that damned the 80186 and 80188. [pic][pic] P3 (386) Processor - The third generation represents perhaps the most significant change in processors since the first PC. The big deal was the migration from processors that handled 16- bit operations to true 32-bit chips. [pic] [pic] P4 (486) Processor - Although fourth-generation processors were more about refinement than redesign, the Intel 80486 was another major leap forward in the race for speed. The additional power available in the 486 fueled tremendous growths in the software industry. [pic][pic] P5 (586) Processor - After the fourth-generation chips such as the 486, Intel and other chip manufacturers...
