<p><strong>Faculty of Engineering &amp; Information Technology </strong><br><strong>Al-Azhar University-Gaza </strong></p><p><strong>Dr. Mohammad Aqel </strong></p><p><strong>Microprocessors and Interfacing </strong><br><strong>(ITCC 3301) </strong></p><p><strong>Homework (1) </strong></p><p>Intel Core is a brand name used for various mid-range to high-end consumer and business microprocessors made by Intel. In general, processors sold as Core are more powerful variants of the same processors marketed as entry-level Celeron and Pentium. Similarly, identical or more capable versions of Core processors are also sold as Xeon processors for the server market. </p><p>The current lineup of Core processors includes the latest Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i3, and the older Intel Core 2 Solo, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, and Intel Core 2 Extreme lines. </p><p>1- The&nbsp;original Core brand refers to Intel's 32-bit dual-core x86 CPUs. 2- Unlike&nbsp;the Intel Core, Intel Core 2 is a 64-bit processor, supporting Intel 64. </p><p>The Core brand comprised two branches: the Duo (dual-core) and Solo (Duo with one disabled core). A dual core processor has two cores (essentially, two CPUs on one die (piece) silicon chip (IC)). Core2Duo is a specific dual-core processor design. Thus, all Core2Duo CPUs are dual-core CPUs, but not all Intel dual-core CPUs are Core2Duo designs. </p><p>Core 2 is a brand encompassing a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit x86-64 single-, dual-, and quad-core microprocessors based on the Core microarchitecture. The single- and dual-core models are single-die, whereas the quad-core models comprise two dies, each containing two cores, packaged in a multi-chip module. The <em>Core 2 </em>brand was introduced in July 2006, comprising the Solo (single-core), Duo (dualcore), Quad (quad-core), and the Extreme (dual- or quad-core CPUs for enthusiasts) sub-brands. </p><p><strong>a- For the following core processors state the main characteristics and latest features that added to the processor. </strong></p><p>1- Core Duo <br>4-Core 2 Duo <br>7- Core i3 <br>2- Core Solo 5- Core 2 Quad 8- Core i5 <br>3-Core 2 Solo 6- Core 2 Extreme 9- Core i7 <br>10- Core i9 </p><p><strong>b- Differentiate between the following processors: </strong></p><p>1- Core&nbsp;Solo and&nbsp;Core Due 2- Core&nbsp;2 Solo and Core2 Due 3- Dual&nbsp;core and Core2 Due </p><p><strong>NOTE: The homework due date is 21</strong><sup style="top: -0.42em;"><strong>th </strong></sup><strong>October (Thursday).
