Computer Evolution and Performance Part 14

History of the Intel Processor
- 8080 (1972)

• Intel's first microprocessor.

• 8 bit machines and data to the memory bus, 8 bits.

• 66 with the number of instructions ability 16KB.

- 8086 (1974)

• 16 bit microprocessor technology with the instruction cache.

• The number of instructions reached 111 and the ability to pengalamatan memory 64KB.

- 80,286 (1982)

• Development from 8086.

• Pengalamatan ability to reach 133 with 1MB instructions.

- 80,386 (1985)

• 32 bit machine.

• The system supports multitasking.

• Best at that time.

- 80,486 (1989)

• Progress in the cache memory technology and instruction pipelining.

• It is equipped with a math co-processor.

- Pentium (1993)

• Use technology that allows superscalar execution of instructions in parallel.

- Pentium Pro (1995)

• Increase superscalar organization parallel to the process,

• Found the system branch prediction, data flow analysis and cache memory system that increasingly sophisticated.

- Pentium II (1997)

• MMX technology, capable of handling multimedia needs.

• Commercial Pentium II has been using RISC technology.

- Pentium III

• Floating point instructions ability to handle 3D graphics.

- Pentium IV

• Floating point capabilities and increasingly sophisticated multimedia.

- Itanium

• 2 units have the ability to floating point, integer 4 units, 3 units furcation, Internet streaming, 128 interger register.
