Avaliação de desempenho em microcomputadores com processadores da intel

Abstract

The microprocessor also known as CPU is a chip whose functions are instruction processing and control, being located on the computer's motherboard. Historically, this chip has undergone technological transformations over the years, providing computers with a considerable increase in their computational power and in their flexibility of use. Parallel to the evolution of CPUs, computers began to be used by an increasing number of people, because as electronic data processing machines became in high demand, their price suffered a considerable reduction, which is a trend followed. up to the present day. In this way, microprocessors have led the technological evolution of computing, as as soon as new chips are launched on the market, more powerful software and devices are also launched, with the aim of providing greater speed, flexibility and reliability in the execution of tasks. The present work develops matters related to microprocessors and their performance, scientific and engineering computational applications, relevance of the area of ​​activity and user productivity. In this study, Intel Pentium III and Pentium IV microprocessors were analyzed, trying to identify the one with the best performance regarding arithmetic operations. To this end, the main performance testing programs were studied and analyzed and, with their help, several performance tests were carried out on the computer equipment available at the National Directorate of Public Accounting
