IMPROVEMENTS IN MICROPROCESSOR

A microprocessor is one of the most central parts of a modern personal computer or, in fact, any advanced computer device.It integrates the functions of a central processing unit , the portion of a computer responsible for carrying out programmed instructions, onto a single integrated circuit that couples the important thinking devices of the machine with the electrical infrastructure needed to support them.Microprocessor design is able to incorporate a tremendous amount of processing power in a very small space. Perhaps more than any other component of the modern computer, the microprocessor has a long and storied history, and an almost mythological status thanks to its great importance.

The first microprocessor was introduced in the year 1971. It was introduced by Intel and was named Intel 4004.Intel 4004 is a 4 bit microprocessor and it was not a powerful microprocessor.It can perform addition and subtraction operations on 4 bits at a time.However it was Intel’s 8080 was the first microprocessor to make it to Home computers. It was introduced during the year 1974 and it can perform 8 bit operations. Then during the year 1976, Intel introduced 8085 processors which is nothing but an update of 8080 processors.8080 processors are updated by adding two Enable/Disable Instructions, Three added interrupt pins and serial I/O pins.Intel introduced 8086 pins during the year 1976. The major difference between 8085 and 8086 processor is that 8085 is an 8 bit processor, but 8086 processor is a 16 bit processor.The greatest advantage of the above processors are that it do not contain Floating point instructions. Here floating point refers to the radix point or decimal point. For example: 123.456 is a floating point representation. Processors such as 8085 and 8086 do not support such representations and instructions.Intel later introduced 8087 processor which was the first math co-processor and later the 8088 processor which was incorporated into IBM personal computers.As the years progressed lots of processors from 8088,80286,80386,80486,Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV and now Core2Duo,Dual Core and Quad core processors are the latest in the market.The latest and the fastest processor currently is the new MediaTek Helio M70 processor which has recently hit the news and the company is planning to pack it in the smartphones by 2020.MediaTek Helio M70 is a premium smartphone chipset with that is built with 7nm process and contains the latest APU, GPU, and CPU technology to enable a much better performance than the ones before and a rapid connectivity.In fact, it's the world's first smartphone processor which features the Arm's latest and fastest Cortex-A77 CPU and Mali-G77 GPU-class hardware.

Major features of Helio M70:

• Brand New AI design:MediaTek Helio M70 possesses a great AI processing unit which supports innovative AI applications such as imaging de-blur so that users obtain great shots even while they are on a move or the subject is on move.
• Latest CPU technology:MediaTek Helio M70 is a 5G SoC which is also regarded as performance powerhouse with the all-new Arm Cortex-A77 CPU. The technology certainly outclasses its opponents.
• High-tech GPU:With the advanced, new Arm Mali-G77 GPU, MediaTek Helio M70 enables smooth streaming and game experience with the whopping speed of 5G.
• 7nm FinFET Technology:MediaTek Helio M70 is the worlds' first 5G SoC constructed on the trailblazing 7nm production process which saves a lot of energy and gets stored at a compact platform.
• Amazing Speed:With a max speed of 4.7Gps download and the New Radio (NR) 2 Component Carrier (CC) support the MediaTek Helio M70 chipset also possesses both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G network architectures.
• Highly Powerful Image & Multimedia Performance:MediaTek Helio M70 supports 4K video encode/decode at the rate of 60fps and it can even have a high resolution camera up to 80MP.

With all these highly fascinating features, MediaTek Helio M70 is the latest and the most efficient mobile processor that you can obtain. Though it has still not hit the market, it would soon emerge to be the first-ever 5G chipset.
