The latest microprocessors on the market vary, and the most recent are:
• 2nd generation Intel Core processors
The latest Intel Core processor was introduced onto the market in 2010, and has a number of new features that include Intel Quick Sync Video, Intel HD Graphics and Intel Insider. Intel Quick Sync enables a four-minute video to be converted and ready to play after just 16 seconds. While Intel Insider enables the user to download full HD movies at high speeds.
• Intel Centrino
This is the latest processor to be introduced for use on laptops, and the main selling point of these processors is their effectiveness when performing on wireless networks. The Centrino processor also allows an administrator to access wired and wireless laptops when they crash.
This is done remotely and enables the administrator to repair and maintain the laptop in question. This element is obviously more useful for businesses than for personal customers, and it is a useful feature for companies with lots of different machines that are linked via a network.
• Phenom X4 42 processors
AMD have released this microprocessor, and it is available as a limited edition. The processor is specially designed to reduce over clocking of the system. The processor is also able to run at high speeds and at higher frequencies.
A microprocessor is vital to the efficient running of modern day computers. The main work that a microprocessor does is to operate on binary data and enable the computers central operating system to operate correctly. The memory that a microprocessor contains is vital to the correct operating of all computers.
