    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime95

    Prime95, also distributed as the command-line utility mprime for FreeBSD and Linux, is a freeware application written by George Woltman.It is the official client of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), a volunteer computing project dedicated to searching for Mersenne primes.

  3. Memory timings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_timings

    Modern DIMMs include a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) ROM chip that contains recommended memory timings for automatic configuration as well as XMP/EXPO profiles of faster timing information (and higher voltages) to allow for a performance boost via overclocking. The BIOS on a PC may allow the user to manually make timing adjustments in an effort ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    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. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    The dynamic power (switching power) dissipated by a chip is C·V 2 ·A·f, where C is the capacitance being switched per clock cycle, V is voltage, A is the Activity Factor [1] indicating the average number of switching events per clock cycle by the transistors in the chip (as a unitless quantity) and f is the clock frequency.

  9. Intel Turbo Boost - Wikipedia

    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.
