  2. Overclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

    The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.

    Overclocking is the process of forcing your computer to run faster than it's intended to go, which can help you run advanced programs on an older PC.

  4. CPU multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_multiplier

    Some CPUs, such as Athlon 64 and Opteron, handle main memory using a separate and dedicated low-level memory bus.These processors communicate with other devices in the system (including other CPUs) using one or more slightly higher-level HyperTransport links; like the data and address buses in other designs, these links employ the external clock for data transfer timing (typically 800 MHz or 1 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost

    An Intel November 2008 white paper [10] discusses "Turbo Boost" technology as a new feature incorporated into Nehalem-based processors released in the same month. [11]A similar feature called Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) was first available with Core 2 Duo, which was based on the Santa Rosa platform and was released on May 10, 2007.

    Below is the full 8086/8088 instruction set of Intel (81 instructions total). [2] These instructions are also available in 32-bit mode, in which they operate on 32-bit registers (eax, ebx, etc.) and values instead of their 16-bit (ax, bx, etc.) counterparts.

  8. WPrime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPrime

    WPrime is popular in the overclocking community for testing the performance and stability of computer processors, as Super PI is single-threaded. Its popularity stemmed from being able to utilize 100% of a multi-core processor's computing time enabling its use as a multi-threaded benchmark application in competitions, [2] computing reviews, [3] and marketing campaigns.

  9. Hardware performance counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_performance_counter

    One of the first processors to implement such counter and an associated instruction RDPMC to access it was the Intel Pentium, but they were not documented until Terje Mathisen wrote an article about reverse engineering them in Byte July 1994. [2] The following table shows some examples of CPUs and the number of available hardware counters:
