10 Interesting Facts About Processor

Just Interludes In Technology Computer Science ...
1. More heat from the stove
   Thermal power loss modern processors reach 125 watts per cm square which then generates heat. Meanwhile, heating plate electric stoves ranged between 7 and 10 watts per cm square.
2. Processor Number One
   Intel 4004 is the first microprocessor. This processor is thrown into the market in 1971 for 200dollar and consists of over 2300 transistors. As a comparison, I7 Processor with 45nm technology which has 731 million transistors.
3. One billion transistors per Head
   In 2010, the world's semiconductor industry will produce one billion transistors for each of the world's population. According to data from the Semiconductor Industry Associaton (SIA), in 2005 this figure had reached 90 million transistors per resident.
4. Self-made CPU
   An American, Steve Chamberlin, build a cpu with mengguunakan Logic-Module and about 1250 cable for the project "Big Mess of Wires" hers. Homemade processor with a clock of 2 MHz is at the heart of a simple computer. Needed 16 to complete.
5. Round objects with a costly downside.
   Because of the round in shape, a fifth area of ​​the silicon wafer can not be used for chip production. There is no other alternative to rectangular. The disc is only 775 micrometers thick is sliced ​​from large silicon crystals, drawn with a smelter and its shape is round.
6. Pioneer Era Silicon
   Jack Kilby was named as the father of processors. Engineers from the Texas Instrument company is building a first integrated circuit in 1958, teridir of an oscillator on a small band of germanium. Some pioneers in microelectronics, he later received the Nobel prize for Physics in 2000.
7. Contact to Outer Space
   In the movie E.T. (1983), aliens building an interplanetary communicator device. Core of the toy "Speak & Spell" which is used to communicate this is the TMC in 2081 from Texas Instruments and is the first Voice Chip Synthesier.
8. Venus: the world's fastest CPU
  Currently, Venus became the world tercepet processor. This processor is a prototype from Fujitsu that can complete 128 computer operations per second. The ability of this prototype approximately 2.5 much faster than the latest Intel CPUs.
9. Error Inside
   In 1994, pentium processor came on the market and it does not function normally. When the process of division, rounding errors (roundoff error) ranging from 5 decimal digits. As a result, Intel is spending around 475 million dollars over claims this processor.
10. Scarcity Silicon Invisible
   Silicon is the chemical most widely used after oxygen. Because good for bone growth, the human should consume at least 30mg daily silicon.
