High speed processor

Before you go out and buy or even design your own processor, you have to make sure the motherboard it will be mounted to can support it.  Intel is the worldwide leader in processor production and over time the processor has evolved to meet the needs of the consumers.  The iCore 5 processor is the 4th generation of the Intel processor that provides better performance and speed than its predecessors.  Intel's website gives you a in-depth look at the specifications for different processors and which memory modules are compatible with them.  It is important to know all these elements because you could end up getting a processor that may be to slow for your needs or one that is not compatible with the memory cards or data functions.  The iCore 5 uses a LGA1150 socket which overrides the 2nd generation socket of LGA2011. This performance can handle media and gaming needs. Before you venture out into the processor world, make sure you've done some extensive homework.

Enter the Matrix

Information and data is communicated through a binary system in a computer.  Imagine if you speak English and you try to communicate with someone who speaks Chinese, there would be a break down in communication because one party can't understand the other.  The language of a computer works the same way.  Binary codes and predetermined sets of 1's and 0's.  For example if you type in the letter "A" in the computer, automatically that symbol is assigned a code.  When you look at the entire scope, every function on the computer is communicated by binary codes.  Binary functions are also used to operate at a "on" and "off" function.  Take for instance a processor.  The traces that run to and from a processor are set in binary form, meaning they alternate from on and off with the help of a system clock.  A system clock controls the tempo of how data is received and exported.  Just think of kids jumping rope; when they jump up in the air that acts as "on" when they come down that acts like "off".  The rope acts as the timer.

Cool, Calm and Collective

With all the heat a computer processor can generate, you have to wonder what devices are used to keep these gadgets cool.  One major computer corporation Intel, came up with a method to solve this mystery. A tool called a Heat Sink is composed of different materials with cooper being the best conductor to eliminate heat.  Less effective material such as steel and aluminum can be used to eliminate heat also, but like they say, "you get what you pay for."

The fans are powered by a 4-pin connector which is build onto the motherboard to keep the processor cool while the computer operates. Without these "fans" a computer could overheat and melt down. A motherboard can not survive without a heat sink installed with it.  A good processor's heat sink can keep the temperature around 90-110 degrees F, lower end models and material (aluminum/steel) may not be able to obtain this.

The Real Optimus Prime

Transformers are the unsung heroes that saves us from voltage mayhem.  We are able to maintain a better quality of life because they exist.  If you've ever experienced being shocked by someone or something due to static electricity, then you my friend have experienced voltage mayhem at a minuscule level.  The standard voltage required to power your appliances, lights, and devices in your home is 115- 250 V.  Before that voltage enters into your home, it can range from anywhere to 400,000 to 600,000 volts!  Imagine plugging in a device with that kind of voltage, I can imagine you wouldn't be here right now to read my post.  Transformers have the ability to reduce the amount of voltage that comes into your home while increasing the current, thus making it safe to use everyday fixtures.

Next time your on a long highway or passing through a rural area, look out to see if you can spot a transformer standing alone on a hill side.  The transformers that run into your home can be located on a neighborhood telephone pole.  Next time you turn on your lamp or roll over and turn off your alarm, remember that transformers made all of this possible.
