Processor

The Processors is seen as the main and most crucial integrated circuitry (IC) chip in a computer, as it is responsible for interpreting most of computers commands. CPUs will perform most basic arithmetic, logic and I/O operations, as well as allocate commands for other chips and components running in a computer.

Motherboard

In the world of consumer tech, the word “motherboard“ gets thrown around a lot, especially when talking brands like Asus and Intel.
But what is a motherboard? And more importantly, what does it do?
- The main purpose of a motherboard is to move power around and provide a central place where all of your components can communicate with each othern, but not just.
- Another important function of the motherboard is to load your operating system. A firmware chip on the board stores the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). This very lightweight application is the first thing your computer loads, which allows it to read data off of your hard drive and, eventually, load your operating system. It’s right there in the name: The BIOS is “basic.” The point is to get all of your components recognizing each other before loading the operating system.

SSDs

SSDs replace traditional mechanical hard drives (HD) using flash-based memory, that is, much faster, optimizing their performance. Older hard disk storage technologies run slower, compromising user experience and work productivity.

RAM

RAM memory is a type of technology that allows access to files stored on the computer. Unlike HD memory, RAM does not store content permanently. It is responsible, however, for reading the contents when required. That is, in a non-sequential way, hence the English nomenclature of Random Access Memory.

Microsoft Pluton processor

Windows 10 is the most secure version of Windows ever, built with end-to-end security for protection from the edge to the cloud all the way down to the hardware. Advancements like Windows Hello biometric facial recognition, built-in Microsoft Defender Antivirus, and firmware protections and advanced system capabilities like System Guard, Application Control for Windows and more have helped Microsoft keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.

Intel® 4004 - The first MicroProcessor

In 1969, Nippon Calculating Machine Corporation approached Intel to design 12 custom chips for its new Busicom 141-PF* printing calculator. Intel engineers suggested a family of just four chips, including one that could be programmed for use in a variety of products, setting in motion an engineering feat that dramatically altered the course of electronics.

That’s when the Intel® 4004 became the first general-purpose programmable processor on the market—a "building block" that engineers could purchase and then customize with software to perform different functions in a wide variety of electronic devices.
