What is a Microprocessor?

Processors are the brains of computers.

Other components allow a computer to store or retrieve data and to input or output data, but the processor performs computations and does something useful with the data.

What is a Microprocessor?

Processors in early computers were created out of many separate components, but as technology improved it became possible to integrate all of the components of a processor onto a single piece, or chip, of silicon. These integrated circuits are called microprocessors.

Microprocessor Evolution

1971: 4004 Microprocessor

The 4004 was Intel's first microprocessor.

4 bit microprocessor

2/13/2015 5


Intel 4004

2/13/2015 6



The 8008 was twice as powerful as the 4004.

The Mark-8 is known as one of the first

computers for the home

2/13/2015 7



8080 became the brains of the first personal computer

8 bit microprocessor

2/13/2015 8


1978: 8086-8088 Microprocessor

16-bit data bus

20 bit address bus

The 8088 is a less expensive version with only 8 bit data bus

2/13/2015 9



24-bit address bus

Enhanced with memory protection capabilities

Introduced protected mode

Backwards compatible

2/13/2015 10


1985: Intel386™ Microprocessor 275,000 transistors--more than 100 times

as many as the original 4004.

Multi tasking

First 32-bit processor

32-bit data bus and 32-bit address bus

2/13/2015 11


1989: Intel 486™ DX CPU Microprocessor Go from a command-level computer into

point-and-click computing.

A color computer for the first time

Combined coprocessor functions for performing floating-point arithmetic

Later versions introduced energy savings for laptops

2/13/2015 12


1993: Intel® Pentium® Processor

64-bit data bus

Wider internal data bus 128-and 256-bit wide

The Intel Pentium® processor allowed computers to more easily incorporate "real world" data such as speech, sound, handwriting and photographic images.

2/13/2015 13


1995: Intel® Pentium® Pro Processor

36-bit address bus

Each Intel® Pentium Pro processor is packaged together with a second speed-enhancing cache memory chip. The powerful Pentium® Pro processor boasts 5.5 million transistors.

2/13/2015 14


1997: Intel® Pentium® II Processor

Introduced multimedia (MMX) instructions

Doubled on-chip L1 cache

16 KB data, 16 KB instruction

Introduced comprehensive power management features; Sleep, Deep sleep

In addition to the L1 cache, has 256 KB L2 cache

2/13/2015 15


1998: Intel® Pentium II Xeon® Processor

Designed to meet the performance requirements of mid-range and higher

servers and workstations.

2/13/2015 16


1999: Intel® Celeron® Processor

Enhances the performance of advanced imaging, 3-D, streaming audio, video and speech recognition applications. It was designed to significantly enhance Internet experiences, allowing users to do such things as browse through realistic online museums and stores and download high-quality video.

The processor incorporates 9.5 million transistors

2/13/2015 17


1999: Intel® Pentium® III Xeon® Processor

The Intel® Pentium III Xeon processor's advance cache technology speeds information from the system bus to the processor, significantly boosting performance.

It is designed for systems with multi-processor configurations.

2/13/2015 18


2000: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor Users can create professional-quality

movies; deliver TV-like video via the Internet; communicate with real-time video and voice; render 3D graphics in real time; quickly encode music for MP3 players; and simultaneously run several multimedia applications while connected to the Internet.

The processor debuted with 42 million transistors

2/13/2015 19


2001: Intel® Itanium® Processor

64-bit processor

Uses 64-bit address bus

128-bit data bus

Introduced several advanced features

2/13/2015 20


2003: Intel® Pentium® M Processor

The Intel® Pentium® M processor, the Intel® 855 chipset family, and the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 network connection are the three components of Intel® Centrino® processor technology.

Intel Centrino processor technology is designed specifically for portable computing, with built-in wireless LAN capability and breakthrough mobile performance. It enables extended battery life and thinner, lighter mobile computers .

And finally

Multiple Core Technology The first microprocessor that uses the

65nm semiconductor technology

The first to have dual core on a die

Dual core computing capabilities

2/13/2015 22

Moore’s Law

In 1975, Gordon Moore observed that shrinking transistor dimensions were allowing the number of transistors on a die to double roughly every 18 months.

For microprocessors, the trend has

been closer to a doubling every 2 years, but amazingly this exponential increase has continued now for 30 years

2/13/2015 23

The Future of Moore’s Law

No exponential trend can continue forever, and this simple fact has led to predictions of the end of Moore’s law for decades.

There have already been a number of new fabrication technologies proposed or put into use that will help continue Moore’s law through 2015.
