Processor is the brain and the central control computer which is supported by other components.
A processor is the IC that controls the overall operations of a computer system.
Used as the central processor or brain of the computer that is used to perform the calculations and run errands.
The processor is a chip that is often called a “microprocessor” which is now the size has reached gigahertz. The size is a matter of the speed of the processor to process data or information. Brands that are circulating dipasatan processor is
AMD, Apple, VIA Cyrix, IBM, IDT, and Intel.
The most important part of the processor from processor 3 is divided as follows:
* Aritcmatics Logical Unit (ALU)
* Control Unit (CU)
* Memory Unit (MU)

1997: Intel ® Pentium ® II Processor
Pentium II processor is a processor that incorporates Intel MMX is designed specifically to process video data, audio, and graphics efficiently. There are 7.5 million transistors integrated in it so that the user’s PC processor can process a variety of data and use the internet better.
1998: Intel ® Pentium II Xeon ® Processor
Processor is made for the needs of the application server. Intel when it wants to meet its strategy that wants to give a unique processor for a particular market.
1999: Intel ® Celeron ® Processor
Processor Intel Celeron processor which is issued as a processor intended for users who do not really need a faster processor performance for users who want to build a computer system with a budget (prices) are not too large. The Intel Celeron processor has the same shape and formfactor with Intel Pentium processor, but only with the instructions a little more, the L2 cache is smaller, the speed (clock speed) is much slower, and the price is cheaper than an Intel processor Pentium. With the release of the Intel Celeron processor provides a processor back to a particular market.
1999: Intel ® Pentium ® III Processor
Pentium III processor is a processor that is given an additional 70 new instructions that dramatically enriches the high level of imaging capability, three-dimensional, audio streaming, and video applications as well as voice recognition.
1999: Intel ® Pentium ® III Xeon ® Processor
Intel re-penetrated market servers and workstations by issuing a series of Pentium III Xeon but the kind that has 70 SIMD commands. Advantage of this processor is that it can speed up the processing of information from the system bus to the processor, which is also significantly boosting performance. This processor is also designed to be combined with other similar processors.
2000: Intel ® Pentium ® 4 Processor
Processor Intel Pentium IV is a product that speeds up the process is able to penetrate the speed of 3:06 GHz. First time out this processor with 1.5GHz speed formafactor pin 423, after the revamp intel Intel Pentium 4 processor formfactor be the start of a 478 pin Intel Pentium 4 processor 1.3 GHz speed until the latest current can penetrate up to 3.4 GHz speed.
2001: Intel ® Xeon ® Processor
Intel Pentium 4 Xeon processor is the Intel Pentium 4 processor is intended for high-performance computer server. This processor has a pin number more than the Intel Pentium 4 processor with a memory and a larger L2 cache as well.
2001: Intel ® Itanium ® Processor
Is the first Itanium-based 64-bit processor intended for usage on servers and workstations as well as specific users. This processor has been created with a structure completely different from the previous design and technology based on Intel’s Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC).
2002: Intel ® Itanium ® 2 Processor
Itanium 2 is the second generation of the Itanium family
2003: Intel ® Pentium ® M Processor
855 chipset, and the Intel ® PRO / WIRELESS 2100 is a component of Intel ® Centrino ™. Intel Centrino are made to meet market demands the existence of a computer that is easy to carry anywhere.
2004: Intel Pentium M processors 735/745/755
Equipped with a 855 chipset with new features 2Mb L2 Cache 400MHz system bus and processor socket compatibility with the Pentium M series before.
2004: E7520/E7320 Intel Chipsets
7320/7520 can be used for dual processor configuration with 800MHz FSB, DDR2 400 memory, PCI Express peripherals and interfaces.
2005: Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz
