A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

Motherboard Motherboard atau biasa juga disebut mainboard merupakan sebuah papan utama dimana terdapat komponen-komponen serta chip controller yang bertugas mengatur lalu lintas data dalam sistem motherboard. Fungsi umum dari Motherboard adalah tempat memasangkan processor, RAM, VGA Card, Sound Card, Internal Modem, dan lain - lain. Motherboard juga merupakan bagian induk atau utama yang berada dalam CPU. Berfungsi sebagai papan circuit dari berbagai macam komponen pendukung lainnya. Di antara slot pada papan utama, terdapat slot yang khusus digunakan untuk pemasangan prosesor yang dinamakan soket dan slot 1. Motherboard memiliki beberapa jenis soket yang berbeda-beda, sesuai dengan perkembangan jenis prosesor. Berdasarkan penggunaan prosesornya, Motherboard (mobo) dibedakan menjadi 3 bagian, yaitu • Untuk Dual Processor • Untuk Intel Processor • Untuk AMD Processor Sebuah Motherboard terdapat beberapa komponen seperti : • Socket Processor • Chipset • Bus Controller • Slot Memory • Slot Expansion • Port Drive • BIOS • ROM • Power Connector Macam – macam bagan sebuah Motherboard : Form Factor Motherboard : Motherboard memiliki karakteristik dan ukuran yang berbeda-beda, yang biasa kita sebut form factor.

    COVER STORY Standards & Services for ARM-based developments: The faster way to application-ready ARM platforms Special Features Industrial Computing Small Form Factor Boards Tools & Software VIEWPOINT Dear Reader, For a long time x86 processors was the dominant technology for em- bedded computing. But nowadays more and more ARM based micro- controllers are launched and be- come an useful alternative. The ad- vantage of ARM based multicore MCUs is their high performance at extremely low power which allows using it in mobile applications. Our cover story starting at page 12 de- scribes that small form factor boards and systems featuring ARM MCUs can be found already in the area of graphical user interfaces with touch-screen control, where upgrades from simple line displays to full graphic support are being carried out while using a minimum of power, or migration from x86 platforms to ARM is taking place. The extremely low energy consumption of the processors, which is around two to three watts, makes it possible to reduce the effort needed for a passive cooling solution to an absolute minimum, enabling developers to design very compact, flat/slim and above all portable devices, having a battery runtime which surpasses that of x86 systems to date. Application areas for mobile applications in harsh environments can be found, for example, in courier and parcel services, in machines maintained by service personnel, and equipment or in medical emergency services. All these applications profit from the advantages of a compact, power-saving technology as well as from the comfortable programmability of these processors on the basis of standard operating systems i.e.
