  • Evolution of the Pentium
    Chapter 7B – The Evolution of the Intel Pentium This chapter attempts to trace the evolution of the modern Intel Pentium from the earliest CPU chip, the Intel 4004. The real evolution begins with the Intel 8080, which is an 8–bit design having features that permeate the entire line. Our discussion focuses on three organizations. IA–16 The 16–bit architecture found in the Intel 8086 and Intel 80286. IA–32 The 32–bit architecture found in the Intel 80386, Intel 80486, and most variants of the Pentium design. IA–64 The 64–bit architecture found in some high–end later model Pentiums. The IA–32 has evolved from an early 4–bit design (the Intel 4004) that was first announced in November 1971. At that time, memory came in chips no larger than 64 kilobits (8 KB) and cost about $1,600 per megabyte. Before moving on with the timeline, it is worth recalling the early history of Intel. Here, we quote extensively from Tanenbaum [R002]. “In 1968, Robert Noyce, inventor of the silicon integrated circuit, Gordon Moore, of Moore’s law fame, and Arthur Rock, a San Francisco venture capitalist, formed the Intel Corporation to make memory chips. In the first year of operation, Intel sold only $3,000 worth of chips, but business has picked up since then.” “In September 1969, a Japanese company, Busicom, approached Intel with a request for it to manufacture twelve custom chips for a proposed electronic calculator. The Intel engineer assigned to this project, Ted Hoff, looked at the plan and realized that he could put a 4–bit general–purpose CPU on a single chip that would do the same thing and be simpler and cheaper as well.

  • Matična Ploča
    Matična ploča • Format matične ploče odnosi se na fizički oblik i dimenzije, kao i na konektore koji se nalaze na njoj. Od njega zavisi u kakvo kućište matična ploča može da se ugradi. Neki formati su standardni, što znači da matične ploče tog formata mogu međusobno da se zamjenjuju, dok drugi formati nisu dovoljno standardizovani da bi matične ploče mogle međusobno da se zamjenjuju. • Zastareli formati matičnih ploča: o Baby-AT; o Full size AT; o LPX (poluvlasnički). • Savremeni formati matičnih ploča su standardni formati i to garantuje zamjenljivost u okviru jedne vrste (ATX ploče mogu se zamjenjivati drugim ATX pločama, NLX ploče mogu se zamjenjivati drugim NLX pločama,...): o ATX: standardni stoni, mini-visoki i visoki vertikalni sistemi; trenutno najčešći format; najprilagodljivija konstrukcija za manje servere/radne stanice i kućne sisteme više klase podržavaju do 7 priključaka za proširenje; o Mini-ATX: nešto manja verzja ATX koja staje u isto kućište kao i ATX; podržavaju do 6 priključaka za proširenje; o Micro-ATX: srednji stoni i mini-visoki vertiklni sistemi; o Flex-ATX: najjeftiniji mali stoni sistemi ili mini-visoki vertikalni sistemi; sistemi za zabavu i kućnu upotrebu; o NLX: korporacijski stoni i mini-visoki vertikalni sistemi; o WTX: radne stance srednjih do visokih performansi i serveri (više nije u proizvodnji). • Vlasnički dizajn (Compaq, Pacard Bell, Hewlett-Pacard, notebook, itd.) – sve što se ne uklapa u neki od standardnih formata. • Dijelovi savremene matične ploče: o Podnožje ili slot za CPU; o Skup čipova; o Super ulazno/izlazni čip; o ROM BIOS; o Podnožja za SIMM/DIMM/RIMM; o Slotovi ulazno/izlaznih magistrala; o Naponski regulator napajanja za CPU; o Baterija.

Il nuovo socket viene definito ZIF (Zero Insertion Force ) in quanto l'inserimento della CPU non richiede alcuna forza contrariamente ai socket LIF ( Low Insertion Force ) i quali, oltre a richiedere una piccola pressione per l'inserimento del chip, richiedono anche appositi tool per la sua rimozione. Il modello di socket ZIF installato sulla motherboard è, in genere, indicato sul socket stesso. Tipi diversi di socket accettano famiglie diverse di processori. Se si conosce il tipo di zoccolo montato sulla scheda madre è possibile sapere, grosso modo, che tipo di processori può ospitare. Il condizionale è d'obbligo in quanto per sapere con precisione che tipi di processore può montare una scheda madre non basta sapere solo il socket ma bisogna tenere conto anche di altri fattori come le tensioni, il FSB, le CPU supportate dal BIOS ecc. Nel caso ci si stia apprestando ad aggiornare la CPU è meglio, dunque, attenersi alle informazioni sulla compatibilità fornite dal produttore della scheda madre.

  • CHAPTER 3 Microprocessor Types and Specifications 36 Chapter 3 Microprocessor Types and Specifications
    CHAPTER 3 Microprocessor Types and Specifications 36 Chapter 3 Microprocessor Types and Specifications Pre-PC Microprocessor History The brain or engine of the PC is the processor (sometimes called microprocessor), or central processing unit (CPU). The CPU performs the system’s calculating and processing. The processor is often the most expensive single component in the system (although graphics card pricing now surpasses it in some cases); in higher-end systems it can cost up to four or more times more than the motherboard it plugs into. Intel is generally credited with creating the first microprocessor in 1971 with the introduction of a chip called the 4004. Today Intel still has control over the processor market, at least for PC systems, although over the years AMD has garnered a respectable market share. This means that all PC-compatible systems use either Intel processors or Intel-compatible processors from a handful of competitors (such as AMD or VIA/Cyrix). Intel’s dominance in the processor market hadn’t always been assured. Although Intel is generally cred- ited with inventing the processor and introducing the first one on the market, by the late 1970s the two most popular processors for personal computers were not from Intel (although one was a clone of an Intel processor). Personal computers of that time primarily used the Z-80 by Zilog and the 6502 by MOS Technologies. The Z-80 was noted for being an improved and less expensive clone of the Intel 8080 processor, similar to the way companies such as AMD, VIA/Cyrix, IDT, and Rise Technologies have cloned Intel’s Pentium processors.
