MICROPROCESSOR: It is the central and most complex integrated circuit of a computer or computer; by way of illustration, it is usually associated by analogy as the «brain» of a computer. The processor is an integrated circuit consisting of millions of integrated electronic components. It constitutes the central processing unit (CPU) of a PC cataloged as a microcomputer.
ZOCALOS: It is an electromechanical system of support and electrical connection, installed on the base plate, which is used to fix and connect a microprocessor. It is used in open architecture equipment, where there is a variety of components that allow the change of the card or the integrated one. In proprietary architecture equipment, the integrated ones are soldered on the motherboard, as happens in video consoles.
MULTICORE: A multi-core microprocessor is one that combines two or more independent processors in a single package, often a single integrated circuit. A dual-core device contains only two independent microprocessors. In general, multi-core microprocessors allow a computational device to display a certain form of thread-level parallelism (TLP) without including multiple microprocessors in separate physical packets.
hyper ready: It is a registered trademark of the Intel company to name its implementation of Simultaneous Multithreading technology also known as SMT. It allows programs prepared to execute multiple threads (multi-threaded) to process them in parallel within a single processor, increasing the use of the processor execution units.
