  2. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.

  3. ARM Cortex-A8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A8

    The ARM Cortex-A8 is a 32-bit processor core licensed by ARM Holdings implementing the ARMv7-A architecture. Compared to the ARM11, the Cortex-A8 is a dual-issue superscalar design, achieving roughly twice the instructions per cycle. The Cortex-A8 was the first Cortex design to be adopted on a large scale in consumer devices. [2]

  4. x86 Bit manipulation instruction set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_Bit_manipulation...

    While what these instructions do is similar to bit level gather-scatter SIMD instructions, PDEP and PEXT instructions (like the rest of the BMI instruction sets) operate on general-purpose registers. [12] The instructions are available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. An example using arbitrary source and selector in 32-bit mode is:

  5. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    Here they also inform that starting from the 12th generation of their CPUs the term Thermal Design Power (TDP) has been replaced with Processor Base Power (PBP). [28] In a support page dedicated to the Core i7 -7700 processor, Intel defines the TDP as the maximum amount of heat that a processor can produce when running real life applications ...

  6. Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_Intelligent...

    Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is a component of Microsoft Windows XP and later iterations of the operating systems, which facilitates asynchronous, prioritized, and throttled transfer of files between machines using idle network bandwidth.

  7. Windows on Windows - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_on_Windows

    Many 16-bit Windows legacy programs can run without changes on newer 32-bit editions of Windows. The reason designers made this possible was to allow software developers time to remedy their software during the industry transition from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 and later, without restricting the ability for the operating system to be upgraded to a current version before all programs used by a ...

  8. 32-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit_computing

    A 32-bit register can store 2 32 different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits depends on the integer representation used. With the two most common representations, the range is 0 through 4,294,967,295 (2 32 − 1) for representation as an binary number, and −2,147,483,648 (−2 31) through 2,147,483,647 (2 31 − 1) for representation as two's complement.
