Introduction The smartphone that I have chosen for this assignment is the latest in the series of smartphones being developed by Google and LG electronics, the NEXUS 5 (Codename : Hammerhead). The phone is in the series of Google Nexus series a flagship phone for its own mobile operating system Android. It was released on October 31st, 2013 and was also the first phone to include the latest Android 4.4. The chip used by the manufacturer is a Quad Core 2.26 GHz Snapdragon 800 Processor part of the Snapdragon S4 processors and an Adreno 330 GPU. [1] Description of the Processor used The name of the CPU chip used in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor is Krait. The snapdragons are a series of mobile Systems on Chip (SoC). The Snapdragons were …show more content…
The enhanced floating point and SIMD functional unit give the processor a better performance by maintaining the industry leading 128 bit path. According to the primate lab benchmark tester Geekbench 3 [7], which tested android devices based on various processor chips Snapdragon 800 on various smartphones gave it an average score of 905 based on its 2150 MHz (4 cores) on single core performance although it was significantly lesser than the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 which had a score of 956 based on its 1900 MHz (4 cores) single core performance [7]. But, when a multi core benchmark test was conducted by Geekbench 3 the processor ranked supreme giving a score of 2799 and out doing even the Exynos 5 Octa by a huge margin [7]. Industry Comments on the Chip According to the article Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MDP benchmarks: prepare for ludicrous speed by Myriam Joire [8] on Engadget he has ranked the processor chip as the most powerful mobile processor yet released based on the various benchmark tests he has quoted, these benchmark tests include results from Google Octane 2.0, An tu tu 3D, Quadrant 2.0 etc. But at the same time he also remarks how the Nvidia’s Tegra 4 held its own against …show more content…
The Snapdragon 800 has been deemed as the future in Mobile industry as it is bound to power all the mobile and tablet devices till the near future. But having said so Qualcomm has already released details of its brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor although the details are still not out it is said to be more powerful chip and that could very well be the next big thing after the
Before we take a look at the CPU itself and its performance, it is worth noting that this CPU was manufactured at Globalfoundries, which is going to be AMD’s primary manufacturing facility for both CPUs and GPUs going forward. The new Thuban core may still be manufactured on the older 45nm node, however several improvements have been made to the manufacturing process and proof of this is how, despite having two additional cores, the total TDP has remain...
The processor chosen for my computer build is the Intel BX80662G4400 Pentium Processor G4400 which also comes with a CPU cooler. The software I will be running on my computer is mainly Google Chrome and Microsoft Office 365 Suite. The CPU requirements for Google Chrome is an Intel Pentium 4 or later with that’s SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) capable, the processor I chose is SSE2 capable and is also SSE4 capable making the processor fully capable of running Google Chrome. Now looking at the Microsoft Office 365 Suite the CPU requirements of this software is that the software has to be 1GHz or faster, a x86-bit or x64-bit processor with a SSE2 instruction set. The processor speed for my processor is 3.3GHz which is way more than 1GHz and is a x64-bit processor with a SSE2 instruction set.
Smartphones are something we could not live without in our world today. You cannot leave the house without worrying where your smartphone is or even go to bed without making sure it is on the charger. Almost everyone you know has a smartphone, but technology has come a long way since the first smartphone was invented. Most people think of the company Apple Inc. when they hear the word smartphone, but believe it or not, they were not the first ones to invent it. In 1992, the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) created the first mobile phone to incorporate PDA features that include receive faxes and emails, have a calculator, address book, appointment calendar, and a note pad (Sager, 2012). This device was called the Simone Personal
“Which is better, AMD or Intel?” is a question that is constantly debated among people involved with computers. There are many reasons to choose one side over another, as both do have their advantages and disadvantages. Intel and AMD are the most prevalent processor production companies, which in turn creates competition between the two. This question is a by-product of that competition. Only by knowing each company and what their product has to offer, can a person make a decision as to what to buy to suit their needs.
Pros: Low-price, high performance. PC Magazine tests show systems based on the 450-MHz K6-III are nearly as fast as those based on the 500-MHz Pentium III (though shop wisely, as components can play a big role in K6-III system performance).
Choosing which motherboard to use is important. It also is closely related to what processor is chosen. Because of cost saving factors, the AMD Athlon processor is the best choice. Therefore we can only provide a motherboard compatible with the AMD AthlonXP 1900. For our client, we decided on the motherboard Aopen K77-333. This motherboard is an excellent choice for our client because:
When searching for the latest device you have a choice between apple, and android. These two are similar but very different. Infact these both have two different operating systems. For instance Apple uses IOS 9, apple phones can use this software. On android the software 5.0 is used. All these phones run different programs, you need to make sure that is the right phone for you. There are many different features and styles of phones you can get. Also these all come at a price. This paper will talk about all these topics to make sure you have an idea on what device you would like to buy.
Its Fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor is remarkable for good performance and visuals. It enables the user to feel and see in high definition and 3D; and gives room for multitasking and media. The thrilling speeds are modeled for smooth and seamless games, photos and movies. The chip has a transistor count of 1.4 billion and a die size that is 177 square millimeters. Additionally, it has an incorporated processor graphics, and a dual-channel DDR3 support of up to 1600MHz (Williams & Sawyer, 2010).
Microprocessors and Angelic Self-possession: The microprocessors of today's computers are integrated circuits which contain the CPU on a single chip. The latest developments, with variable clock speeds now often exceeding 200 MHz, include Intell's Pentium chip, the IBM/Apple/Motorola PowerPC chip, as well as chips from Cyrix and AMD. The CPU chip is the heart of the computer; only memory and input-output devices have to be added. A small fan might be added on top of the fastest chips to cool them down, but in the chip itself there are no moving parts, no complex gaps between the movement being imparted and that which imparts the movement.
For the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, we expect the sales to grow in the first quarter of year one. With people still suspect about the phone there won’t be a fixed demand on a per month basis. After a couple months pending no problems with the smartphone people will have their faith in Samsung again and purchase the Galaxy Note 8. After the first year, we expect the Galaxy Note 8 to reach a profit of 1 billion dollars. During this section, I will explain the sales forecast for each month and for the next 3 years. Also, I will discuss the breakeven analysis of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the cost to build the smartphone, how much we are willing to pay for expenses and what expense we focus on the most.

This particular computer also intrigued me because of its processor. The processor is a common one, an Intel Pentium 4. I like that Sony decided to stick with Intel, since they are an American brand. The exact processor they used is the Intel Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 560J with HT Technology. The Hyper threading technology is very helpful and I’m glad they decided to use it because it really makes multi-tasking even with complex software faster and more efficient and significantly cuts down on the lag. The 3.6 Gigahertz processor is very very fast and can handle even the most multifaceted functions. The bus speed is also very impressive coming out with a total of 800 solid Megahertz’s. This is an extremely fast bus speed considering it only has one successor the 1066 Mhz speed.
The computer has progressed in many ways, but the most important improvement is the speed and operating capabilities. It was only around 6 years ago when a 386 DX2 processor was the fastest and most powerful CPU in the market. This processor could do a plethora of small tasks and still not be working to hard. Around 2-3 years ago, the Pentium came out, paving the way for new and faster computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is
