  2. Underclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking

    Underclocking can also be performed on graphics card processor's GPUs, usually with the aim of reducing heat output. For instance, it is possible to set a GPU to run at lower clock rates when performing everyday tasks (e.g. internet browsing and word processing), thus allowing the card to operate at lower temperature and thus lower, quieter fan speeds.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Intel GMA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA

    The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) is a series of integrated graphics processors introduced in 2004 by Intel, replacing the earlier Intel Extreme Graphics series and being succeeded by the Intel HD and Iris Graphics series. This series targets the market of low-cost graphics solutions.

  5. Xenon (processor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon_(processor)

    Microsoft XCPU, codenamed Xenon, is a CPU used in the Xbox 360 game console, to be used with ATI's Xenos graphics chip.. The processor was developed by Microsoft and IBM under the IBM chip program codenamed "Waternoose", which was named after the Monsters, Inc. character Henry J. Waternoose III. [1]

  6. Megahertz myth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth

    On a 6502 that instruction requires two clock cycles, or 2 μs at 1 MHz. Although the 4.77 MHz 8088's clock cycles are shorter, the LDA # needs at least [1] 4 of them, so it takes 4 / 4.77 MHz = 0.84 μs at least. So, at best, that instruction runs only a little more than 2 times as fast on the original IBM PC than on the Apple II.

  7. List of computer display standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_display...

    The high-resolution mode introduced by 8514/A became a de facto general standard in a succession of computing and digital-media fields for more than two decades, arguably more so than SVGA, with successive IBM and clone videocards and CRT monitors (a multisync monitor's grade being broadly determinable by whether it could display 1024×768 at ...

  8. Intel Graphics Technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Technology

    Core i5 processor with integrated HD Graphics 2000. Intel Graphics Technology [4] (GT) [a] is the collective name for a series of integrated graphics processors (IGPs) produced by Intel that are manufactured on the same package or die as the central processing unit (CPU).

  9. History of general-purpose CPUs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_general-purpose...

    The biggest disadvantage of the clockless CPU is that most CPU design tools assume a clocked CPU (a synchronous circuit), so making a clockless CPU (designing an asynchronous circuit) involves modifying the design tools to handle clockless logic and doing extra testing to ensure the design avoids metastability problems.
