  1. CPU Video Notes Central Processing Unit, the “brains”, Microprocessor…you get the idea!

  2. CPU Concepts • What does CPU stand for? • What does the External Data Bus do? • Give an analogy which describes the System Crystal • The Address bus does what? • What does the North Bridge do?

  3. CPU Concepts 2 • What does Cache do for us? • The connection between the CPU and the L1 Cache is called… • The connection between CPU, Address Bus, Northbridge, RAM, and External Data Bus is called… • Packaging refers to what? • Do all slot type CPUs fit any slot? • Do all PGA type CPUs fit any socket?

  4. CPUs • List three CPU manufacturers • Which two manufacturers make most CPUs? • Are models of CPUs compatible between different motherboards? • List four historical CPUs • What “Generation is the Pentium? • Current CPUs are what generation?

  5. CPUs 2 • Describe the difference between “socket” and “package”. • At what point did AMD and Intel processors no longer use the same architecture? • Which CPUs used the slotted processor? • Celeron is to Pentium as _______ is to Athlon? • A powerful Intel Processor for multiprocessing? • 64 bit Intel CPU (Not Nintendo) • What’s the difference between Intel/AMD 64 bit processors • Is the Opteron AMD or Intel? • What’s special about the Opteron? (3 items)

  6. CPU Install/Upgrade • What is Mike’s “Leetle Freend”? • What two items allow you to setup the mobo for different CPUs? • Other than the mobo book, what is another good place to get info about your mobo? • Don’t touch the pins or slot of a cpu! • How do you know which way to orient your CPU in the socket? • Sometimes you have to force a PGA type CPU into the mobo. (T/F) • What do you add between the CPU and heatsink to insure a good thermal connection? • Don’t exchange CPU fans from one CPU type to another. (T/F) • Sometimes you have to “Flash” the __________ to get your mobo to work with a new CPU.

  7. More Info On Thermal Interface Materials • AMD System Building Guide • Processor Installation • Heat Sink Selection • Heat Sink Installation • Heat Sink Removal & Re-Use • Thermal Pad or Paste ? • AMD Thermal Pad vs. Grease Comparison (pdf)
