It is develop and licenses by British company ARM holdings. ARM holding does not manufacture and sell the CPU devices. ARM holding only licenses the processor architecture to interested parties. There are two main types of licences implementation licenses and architecture licenses. ARM processors have a unique combination of feature such as ARM core is very simple as compare to general purpose processors. ARM chip has several peripheral controller, a digital signal processor and ARM core. ARM processor consumes less power but provide the high performance. Now a day, ARM Cortex series is very popular in Smartphone devices. We will also see the important characteristics of cortex series. We discuss the ARM processor and system on a chip (SOC) which includes the Qualcomm, Snapdragon, nVidia Tegra, and Apple system on chips. In this paper, we discuss the features of ARM processor and Intel atom processor and see which processor is best. Finally, we will discuss the future of ARM processor in Smartphone devices.

  • Technical Brief
    Technical Brief SLI-Ready Memory with Enhanced Performance Profiles One-Click Hassle-Free Memory Performance Boost May 2006 TB-0529-001_v01 One-Click Hassle-Free Memory Performance Boost with SLI-Ready Memory Gamers and PC enthusiasts are endlessly searching for opportunities to improve the performance of their PCs. Optimizing system performance is a function of the major components used—graphics processing unit (GPU) add-in cards, CPU, chipset, and memory. It is also a function of tuning and overclocking the various PC components. Overclocking, however, has disadvantages such as system instability and inconsistent performance measurements from one system to another. SLI-Ready memory with Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) is a new approach that simplifies overclocking and ensures memory and platform compatibility. The NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI core logic is the first NVIDIA® platform that supports the new EPP functionality. Memory DIMMs which receive the SLI-Ready certification are required to support EPP technology to ensure the memories can be automatically detected and their full potential realized with the NVIDIA nForce® 590 SLI® chipset. The SLI-Ready certification process ensures the memory modules have passed a comprehensive set of tests and meet the minimum requirements for delivering our customers the outstanding experience they expect from SLI systems. SLI-Ready Memory with EPP at a Glance System memory modules (DIMMs) are built using an electrically-erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) that can hold up to 256 Bytes of data. The EEPROM is used to store Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information defined by JEDEC which include manufacturer part number, manufacturer name, some timing parameters, serial number, etc.
