The Microprocessor Story

Microprocessor is the brain of computer which has the main power to make decisions and calculations. Without a microprocessor computer is just useless. In the beginning of computer era the size of computer was so big and it requires a special skilled team to operate and that computer could perform few simple calculations. As the time passed the size of computer reduced to smaller and smaller. Microprocessor size also reduced and its capacity to perform increased. Now the microprocessor came into varity of sizes and the new technology of multi-core system introduced to improve the microprocessor speed.

In the multicore system the processor is divided into small cores and the task to perform is divided into these cores as to perform the task in a faster way. Lets know the difference between the different microprocessor system.

 First Generations Microprocessors 

             Intel has developed its first generation microprocessor in 2010 and named as Nehalem. This is used in Core i3,i5 and i7 laptops. First Generations machines consume more power and less efficient and low battery backup.

Second Generation Microprocessors

  The second generation processors were developed in 2011 and named as SandyBridge processors. it is 15% more efficient than the first generation machines. they consume less power and more battery backup as compared to previous generation machines.

Third Generation Microprocessors

  Third generation processor was introduced in 2012 and was called Ivy Bridge. it is 45% more faster than the first generation and 5% - 8% more faster than the second generation processors. They consume less power and very high battery backup.

Fourth Generation Microprocessors

  Haswell is the latest generation of inter i-series microprocessors. This new microprocessors are introduced in the core i7 machines. They are much more faster than the previous generations with low power and high battery backup.
