CPU: Technical description

Hello Bloggers!

Today we are goin to talk about CPU's, we are going to define the characteristics of our devices and we are going to talk a little about the difference between x64 o x32 feature that is in change nowadays.

Talking about those numbers, 32 and 64, that some people do not kown a thing about, we have to say that this is the length in bits that the system can process in a single "word", these words are basic units of bits that are divided in information and where this info is located inside the memory.

MSI PE70 6QE

This laptop is built in an Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU with 64 bits.
Now we are going to show its features, which we got from the official web page of Intel.

What we can say about his specs is that this processor has got up to 4 cores. Each of them work normally up to 2.6 GHz of speed but can reach up to 3.5 Ghz as a peak speed. It has got a 6 MB caché memory and its buses work with a speed og 8GT/s. And all this powerful and speedster processor is physically determined by elements of 14 nm.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge:

Now we are going to talk about this smartphone's processor: Exynos 7 Octa (7420).


Exynos 7420 is the Industry’s First Application Processor built on 14nm FinFET Low Power Process to bring a new level of sophistication to Mobile Devices.

The new Exynos 7Octa (7420) is equipped with eight powerful processing cores, consisting of four big cores (ARM® Cortex®-A57™ up to 2.1GHz) for intensive workloads and four small cores (ARM Cortex-A53 up to 1.5GHz) for lighter tasks. By fully supporting a 64-bit architecture in both hardware and software, the Exynos 7 Octa brings the enhanced mobile experience such as high-resolution, high-end games, augmented reality, image/video processing, security solutions, face/eye recognition and more.

This features makes this Samsung's processor an excelent solution for mobile devices that is so powerful and works even with 64 bits words, so in general is a good choice.
