Turbo boost is an Intel’s technology in which processor can automatically overclock its speed so that the processing speed could be reached to the maximum level.

Intel’s core-i5 and core-i7 processors use turbo boost while core-i3 doesn’t has this feature.

But the question is, is it safe for processor to run at over-clock?

The answer is yes, the CPU constantly checks the temperature and other parameters and when the temperature is quite low it over-clocks the processor and when temperature becomes quite high it again lowers the clock speed to the original clock frequency.

Thus we can achieve the maximum efficiency from the processor using turbo-boost.

Ransom wares are the malwares that are designed to attack the computer systems and lock them in a way that you will need a passcode to unlock the system. The hacker could ask you any amount for this passcode, but even after paying the money their is no guarantee that he will unlock your system. So as you know precaution is better than cure, here are 5 tips that will help you to remain safe from these attacks.

• Keep your antivirus up-to-date
• Don’t open un-trusted or unknown mail attachments
• Run antivirus in heuristic mode
• Always make sure that you are taking your data’s backup at least once a week in a external hard drive or cloud system
• Update operating system so that new virus, malware and Trojan definitions can be modified on your system

I hope you guys will apply these tips and remain safe from these types of attacks. Share these tips.

If you have noticed on the Intel’s processor model number, sometimes letter “K” is written in the end of number.

If a CPU has model number that is ending with “K symbol” like i7-7700K, it means the CPU is unlocked and you can make it over-clock by changing BIOS settings.

It means you can make the processor run faster than it’s usual speed by changing some settings. But here you will have to remember that although over-clocking will increase the speed of your processor, in the same time, it will also make you system more heating prone than before. So make sure that it is over-clocked within the limits and without any need don’t make your system over-clock.

Do you know how much cache your microprocessor have? It might be between 2-MB to 12-MB. Cache memory depending upon the specificationof the processor. If you don’t know, check it after reading this post because this is an important factor that will tell you how much smooth multi-tasking you can do?

So, today I will tell you why cache memory is faster than other type of memories?

Cache memory is faster than main memory and auxiliary memory because main memory uses dynamic RAM and auxiliary memories are of magnetic type.

But on the other side cache has static RAM.

Now the next question is why static RAM is faster?

Dynamic RAM’s one memory cell has one capacitor and one transistor which has to refresh periodically and which make it compact in size but make it slower in speed.

The static RAM’s cell uses 6 transistors and no capacitor which make it bulky but faster due to absence of refreshing.

This is the reason why today’s computer’s processors have only 2-12 MBcapacity because we can’t make the large static RAM in microprocessor due to size.

So here is the question for you please tell me in the comment box which consumer electronics microprocessor has the maximum cache memory? Thanks for reading. Like, comment, and share the post. 

Have you guys ever heard about Moore’s law? If no, it’s fine, there is something called Moore’s law that gives the relation between passing of time with the increase in number of transistor on a chip.

Moore’s laws that the number of transistors on the silicon chip will double every two years.

Due to advancement in the fabrication technology transistor size has been reduced tremendously from μm (micro-meter) size to nm (nano-meter) which none less than a miracle.

• 1971 –  10 μm
• 1976 –  03 μm
• 1982 –  1.5 μm
• 1989 –  1 μm
• 1995 –  0.5 μm
• 1999 –  0.25 μm
• 2000 –  180 nm
• 2006 –  65 nm
• 2011 –  32 nm
• 2017 –  14 nm
• 2017 –   5 nm (By IBM, for research purpose, not for commercial purposes)

How amazing is this to imagine that what will be the size of future transistors?
