What is processor?

• The processor is an integrated electronic circuit that executes an instruction to run the computer.
• The processor performs all Arithmetic and Logical operations passed from the OS. 
• It also acts as the brain of the computer.

Specifications:

Lithography: It refers to the semiconductor technology used to manufacture an integrated circuit, and is reported in nanometer (nm), indicative built on the semiconductor.

Core: Core is a hardware term that describe the no. of the independent central processing unit in a single computing component.

Threads: A threads or thread of execution is a software term for the basic ordered sequence that can be passed or processed by a single CPU core.

Processor Base Frequency: Processor Base Frequency describes the rate at which the processor's transistors open and close. The processor base frequency is the operating point where is defined. Frequency is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz) or Gillion cycle per second.

Cache: CPU cache is an area of fast memory located on the processor.

Max Memory Size: It refers to the maximum memory capacity supported by the processor.

Bus Speed: A bus speed or a subsystem that transfers data between the computer components or between computers. 

                 It includes the following types:

          𐩒    Front Side Bus (FBS):  It carries data between the CPU and memory controller hub.

           
          𐩒    Direct Media Interface(DMI): It is point to point interconnection between an intel integrated memory controller and intel I/O controller hub on the computer motherboard.

          𐩒    Quick Path Interconnect(QPI): It is point to point interconnect between the CPU and integrated memory controller.

                                      Conclusion :

In this, we have given the just meaning of the main target word which is important when we when we're going to buy any processor. We have given the link of some important content to know more about that. You can also check the following given below, it is the intel site where you can compare the processors. Most of the content is refers to the intel site given below. We have tried to given all the content in a single site. If you have any queries regarding all hardware terms then you can comment below.
