6 Things to Look Out for When Purchasing a New Processor for a Desktop Computer

6 Things to Look Out for When Purchasing a New Processor for a Desktop Computer





The processor is one of the most important parts of a computer. It behaves like the "brain" of the computer, sorting out information. Every key stoke, click or command is processed by the CPU (Computer Processing Unit) and sorted, sending resources to different components in order to fulfill your instruction. When selecting a desktop computer the better the processor, the better the performance
Here are the two main factors to consider when buying a new processor
1. Number of cores 
Since the mid 2000's, Computer processors now contain multiple processing cores. The definition of a multicore CPU is a processor with two or more independent cores that read and execute program instructions. To use an example, a standard single core processor is like a single lane road and a multiple core processor is like a motorway, allowing information to be processed faster without any congestion (or information waiting to be processed). The more cores your processor has, the faster your computer. At the moment, there are many processor out there which have 2, 4 or 6 cores such as the Intel I-Core and the AMD Phenom ranges.
2. Clock Speed 
The clock speed (Measured in gigahertz) is the rate which a computer processor executes instructions. When selecting a new processor, the higher the speed, the faster the processor will perform. Most processor's on the market today generally range between 2GHz to 3GHz. Apart from the number of cores in the processor, the clock speed is the most important thing to look out for when shopping for a new processor.
Other things to consider
1. Hyper Threading 
Hyper threading is an Intel technology which increases the performance of each processing core by allowing the Operating system (of the computer) to use two virtual processors per core. This technology, like Multicore processing, has been developed to improve the performance of the processor when doing multiple tasks at once. Buying a CPU with this technology may run between 15-30% faster (according to Intel). Hyper Threading is available on the latest range of Intel processors such as the I-core range.
2. Cache Size 
A computer processor cache is used to reduce the average time to access memory. Like RAM (Random Access Memory, another component in the computer) the cache stores copies of data most frequently used by the processor to speed up the time it takes to process instructions. The larger the CPU cache, the more information the processor can access quicker meaning a faster computer.
3. Socket type 
When buying a new processor for an upgrade or a new build, you will need to pay attention to the socket type to allow it to fit inside your motherboard. For each brand or range of CPU, it will use a specific socket type that will match the mother board to allow it to fit and work correctly. This information can be found on the product spec on the processor and motherboard. Buying a processor with a different socket style to the mother board (and visa versa) will leave you with something you wont be able to use.
4. Overclocking 
Overclocking is the process of increasing the work load capability's of a computer processor to improve performance. Popular with gamers, overclocking is achieved by altering the computer bios to tell the processor to faster than the manufactures deem recommended. One disadvantage of overclocking your computer can be the increased heat out put of your processor. To ensure you don't damage your computer, you will need improved cooling and ventilation inside the case to ensure the CPU doesn't exceed to recommended operating temperature (set out by the manufacture). You also might void the warranty with the CPU manufacture.
To conclude, when looking to buy a new computer processor, you will need to consider the points above. While all of the information above is relevant, the most important factors to consider are amount of number of cores and the clock speed of the processor. If you look for a processor with multiple cores and a high clock speed, you will be sure to buy a decent CPU

 

Idea on Flat Network Cables

Idea on Flat Network Cables



If you are serious about installing the flat network cables in your home or office to have smart working computer networks, definitely, there is need to do the home work. The networking flat cables provide you with hi-tech connectivity, so that smooth flow of data and information can take place from one end to the other. You can either Hire the services of professional network flat cables operator, or you can also go for cool wiring adventure. The success of installing network flat cables will depend upon the type of wiring system which you will follow.
Most of Do-It-Yourselfers who do not have the real-time technical knowledge of the wiring system fail to install flat networking cables successfully. In such a scenario, it becomes quite important that you go for experienced networking flat cable operators which will add difference to your life. The run of wires within room is a deciding factor which adds difference to the flow of information. You can opt for making the wires run under the carpet, or you may also make the wires run through the walls. However, it is very significant to point here that making network flat cables run through the walls would require lot of hard work and moreover it will leave plenty of holes in the walls.
Likewise, if you install networking flat cables running parallel on the exterior walls, it would look unprofessional and moreover, there are fair chances that data transfer gets interrupted as the result of breaks. There can be breaks due to some or the other kind of physical damage. Some of the popular range of flat network cables includes bulk coaxial cable, DB-9 Male Serial Add-A-Port Adapter etc. and all of these popular networks are used in commercial networks to add difference to computer networking. Make sure that when you are searching for Bulk Coaxial Cable, or DB9 Male Serial Add-A-Port Adapter, you should do extensive research and analysis. Extensive research and analysis would help you get the best deals on the network flat cables and you will be in a better position to buy the right networking cable for your home or office.
Keep in your mind that when selecting from the range of Bulk Coaxial Cable, or DB-9 Male Serial Add-A-Port Adapter, you are not showing any hurry. Selecting the right networking cable is work of patience and for this reason you have to be sure about every aspect. When choosing the flat networking cables for computer networking, make sure that you choose the branded Ethernet cables as this will save your money and you will get the best discounted deals.
Branded Ethernet cables will add quality difference in the transfer of data from one computer network to another. It will not take much of your precious time for selecting the right computer network. You need to have precise idea about the type of flat network cable which will be the right match for your home or office connectivity.
The author has in depth experience in the field of Flat Network Cables, and Bulk Coaxial Cable, which are used in the computer networking. The author provides knowledge on all areas of networking cables.
