|---|---|
| Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) | specification developed by intel compaq phoenix microsoft and toshiba to control power on computers and other devices |
| back-side bus (BSB) | the portion of a processor's internal bus that connects the proccessor to the internal memory cache. the bus operates at a much higher frequency |
| case fan | a fan inside a computer case used to draw air out of or into the case |
| Centrino | a technology used by intel whereby the processor chipset and wireless network adapter are all interconnected as a unit which improves laptop performance |
| chassis air guide (CAG) | a round air ductthat helps to pull and direct fresh air from outside a computer case to the cooler and processor |
| Cool’n’Quiet | a feature of AMD processor that lowers power requirements and helps keep a system quiet |
| Cooler | a combination cooling fan and heat sink mounted on the top or side of the processor to keep it cool |
| DRAM | the most common type of system memory it requires refreshing every few milliseconds |
| dual-core processing | a processor package that contains two core processors thus supporting four instructions at once |
| Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) | a processor feature used by intel that steps down processor frequency when the processor is idle to conserve power and lower heat |
| Execute disable bit | The NX bit, which stands for Never eXecute, is a technology used in CPUs to segregate areas of memory for use by either storage of processor instructions (or code) or for storage of data, a feature normally only found in Harvard architecture processors. |
| front-side bus (FSB) | A front-side bus (FSB) is a computer communication interface (bus) often used in Intel-chip-based computers during the 1990s and 2000s. |
| heat sink | In electronic systems, a heat sink is a passive heat exchanger component that cools a device by dissipating heat into the surrounding air. |
| hyper-threading | Hyper-threading (officially Hyper-Threading Technology or HT Technology, abbreviated HTT or HT) is Intel's proprietary simultaneous multithreading (SMT) implementation used to improve parallelization of computations performed on PC microprocessors. |
| hyper transport | HyperTransport (HT), formerly known as Lightning Data Transport (LDT), is a technology for interconnection of computer processors. |
| internal bus | |
| Level 1 (L1) cache | |
| Level 2 (L2) cache | memory in proccessor packet not the die |
