17 post -Image Processor with JPEG Encoder

Nethra Imaging has announced its second generation smart camera chips, now available in the industry’s smallest package for low power, handheld consumer devices. The NI-2065/66 programmable image processor family can be integrated into camera module designs and handsets, providing consumers with “print quality” images from less expensive optics and digital still camera functionality from their mobile phone devices. The Image Processor is currently in production and includes a JPEG encoder for enhanced compression capabilities leading to high frame rate capture, hence reducing blur and storage time. Built on 0.13-micron and boasting low power, the image processors fit into a 5mm x 6mm package.

Image Processor
This allows camera module designers to achieve form factors as small as 8.5mm x 8.5mm, making them optimal for the smallest consumer devices. Use of the NI-2065/66 allows OEMs to develop smart camera modules faster than with alternative solutions, expediting time-to-market. Sophisticated true-color processing allows picture calibrating/ tuning to meet regional taste, while support for multiple sensors helps simplify the OEM's supply chain. “Small form factor and low power are key requirements for handheld devices,” said Tony Henning, editor of the Mobile Imaging Report from Future Image, “But with those constraints, delivering the print quality images and digital camera-like features consumers demand presents a challenge. Nethra’s second-generation image processors meet that challenge.”

16 post- Laptop Processors

The microprocessor, or CPU, works with the operating system to control the computer. It essentially acts as the computer's brain. The CPU produces a lot of heat, so a desktop computer uses circulating air, a fan and a heat sink -- a system of plates, channels and radiator fins used to draw heat off of the processor -- to cool off. Since a laptop has far less room for each of these cooling methods, its CPU usually:

• Runs at a lower voltage and clock speed -- This reduces heat output and power consumption but slows the processor down. Most laptops also run at a higher voltage and clock speed when plugged in, and at lower settings when using the battery.

• Mounts to the motherboard without using pins -- Pins and sockets take up a lot of room in desktop PCs. Some motherboard processors mount directly to the motherboard without the use of a socket. Others use a Micro-FCBGA (Flip Chip Ball Grid Array), which uses balls instead of pins. These designs save space, but in some cases mean that the processor cannot be removed from the motherboard for replacement or upgrading.

• Has a sleep or slow-down mode -- The computer and the operating system work together to reduce the CPU speed when the computer is not in use or when the processor does not need to run as quickly. The Apple G4 processor also prioritizes data to minimize battery drain.

15 post-Smarter memory.

The Mac Pro incorporates a 256-bit-wide, fully buffered memory architecture with Error Correction Code (ECC), which corrects single-bit errors and detects multiple-bit errors automatically. These features are especially important in mission-critical or compute-intensive environments. Apple designed a more stringent thermal specification for the Mac Pro FB-DIMMs, so the internal fans spin at slower speeds and keep the system quiet.

14 post-More power with less power.

Inside the new Mac Pro is the latest technology from Intel: Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” processors. These processors run at blazingly fast speeds up to 3.2GHz. Based on the new 45-nm Intel Core microarchitecture, they deliver amazing performance but still maintain outstanding energy efficiency.

12 post- TWO ENGINES UNDER ONE HOOD

Think of a computer chip’s core--the central processing unitor CPU--as an engine.

See animation video [mpeg, 272 MB]

In a single core processor, this “performance engine” takes in raw data and turns it into either video, movies, music, digital-photos, games, email, or other rich mulitmedia content.	In a dual-core computer chip, there are two “performance engines” that can take more data and simultaneously process the data into rich multimedia content at a faster rate.

11 post - 2000: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor

Users of Intel® Pentium® 4 processor-based PCs can create professional-quality movies; deliver TV-like video via the Internet; communicate with real-time video and voice; render 3D graphics in real time; quickly encode music for MP3 players; and simultaneously run several multimedia applications while connected to the Internet. The processor debuted with 42 million transistors and circuit lines of 0.18 microns. Intel's first microprocessor, the 4004, ran at 108 kilohertz (108,000 hertz), compared to the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor's initial speed of 1.5 gigahertz (1.5 billion hertz). If automobile speed had increased similarly over the same period, you could now drive from San Francisco to New York in about 13 seconds.

3 post-1989: Intel486™ DX CPU Microprocessor

The Intel486™ processor generation really meant you go from a command-level computer into point-and-click computing. "I could have a color computer for the first time and do desktop publishing at a significant speed," recalls technology historian David K. Allison of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. The Intel486™ processor was the first to offer a built-in math coprocessor, which speeds up computing because it offloads complex math functions from the central processor.

2 post-1985: Intel386™ Microprocessor

The Intel386™ microprocessor featured 275,000 transistors--more than 100times as many as the original 4004. It was a 32-bit chip and was "multi tasking," meaning it could run multiple programs at the same time.

Processor Attachment

The system can function with one or two processors installed. For a single-processor system, a processor bus terminator card must be installed in the unused processor socket. For a dual-processor system, both processors must be the same speed.

Processors

The system board contains two Intel SC242 (Slot 1) processor sockets. Each socket has an associated voltage regulator integrated on the system board.

Figure 2-1. Installed Processor

Each processor socket accepts an Intel Pentium III processor (133 MHz front-side bus). The processor is secured to its socket by retention clips on both sides. The retention clips are secured by nuts to screws attached to the system board.

HP MediaSmart Server Processor Upgrade

The site Home Server Hacks have posted a tutorial on how to upgrade the processor in the HP MediaSmart Server EX470/475 from the supplied 1.8GHz Sempron, which is a Socket AM2 to a low power (45W) 2.6GHz processor with 1MB of L2 cache (from 256KB in the Sempron). And all for the bargain basement price of only $55.

Processor Markings

Record the processor markings from the physical processor. The markings on the box label are not sufficient. The information you need is identified in example 2 and 3.

Figure 2 details the general markings used for most current Intel processors. Figure 3 shows the markings for older processors. The location of certain markings (for example, Processor #) vary based on the type of processor you have.
