  2. SpeedStep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep

    For example, when an operating system is not busy, it tends to issue x86 halt instructions, which suspend operation of parts of the CPU for a time period, so it uses less energy per tick of the CPU clock than when executing productive instructions in its normal state. For a given rate of work, a CPU running at a higher clock rate will execute a ...

  3. Low-frequency radio range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-frequency_radio_range

    Low-frequency radio range audio signals: N stream, A stream and combined uniform tone (simulated sounds) The low-frequency radio range, also known as the four-course radio range, LF/MF four-course radio range, A-N radio range, Adcock radio range, or commonly "the range", was the main navigation system used by aircraft for instrument flying in the 1930s and 1940s, until the advent of the VHF ...

  4. Clock rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

    For example, an IBM PC with an Intel 80486 CPU running at 50 MHz will be about twice as fast (internally only) as one with the same CPU and memory running at 25 MHz, while the same will not be true for MIPS R4000 running at the same clock rate as the two are different processors that implement different architectures and microarchitectures ...

  5. Underclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking

    The same is true for newer processors: When a single-core Intel CPU was 20% underclocked, the PC's performance was down only 13% with a 49% power reduction. [3] In general, the power consumed by a CPU with a capacitance C, running at frequency f and voltage V is approximately [4] =.

  6. Radio navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_navigation

    The low-frequency radio range (LFR, also "Four Course Radio Range" among other names) was the main navigation system used by aircraft for instrument flying in the 1930s and 1940s in the U.S. and other countries, until the advent of the VOR in the late 1940s.

  7. Adcock antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adcock_antenna

    The low frequency radio range (LFR) network, which consisted of hundreds of Adcock antenna arrays, defined the airways used by aircraft for instrument flying. The LFR remained as the main aerial navigation technology until it was replaced by the VOR system in the 1950s and 1960s.

  8. Sonne (navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonne_(navigation)

    Instead of the short-range landing system proposed by Scheller, the US system was used to build the low-frequency radio range (LFR) system starting in 1928, offering wide-area navigation between airports. [5] To use the system, the aircraft would tune in the station on a conventional radio.

  9. CPU multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_multiplier

    In PCs, the CPU's external address and data buses connect the CPU to the rest of the system via the "northbridge". Nearly every desktop CPU produced since the introduction of the 486DX2 in 1992 has employed a clock multiplier to run its internal logic at a higher frequency than its external bus, but still remain synchronous with it. This ...
