微处理器(MPU)大战（国外英文资料） Microprocessors (MPU) Cheng Song The 1994-03-25 The MPU (microprocessor) is the heart of the computer, which determines the computers abilities, especially the speed of operation. The new generation of computers was first reflected in the renewal of the MPU, who led the MPU and who led the new computer. The leadership of the computer is often in contention for the leadership of the MPU. For example, Intel (Intel) on which the MPU almost swept through personal machine CPU area and set up the image of the king of the hardware, the performance of the type on which the workstation RISC MPU prices increase rapidly, defeated the large and medium-sized general computer, caused a shock wave of small machine turns the entire computer industry. Previously, MPU was limited to personal computers and workstations. Now, on the one hand, due to its own performance improvements, the development of parallel technologies has been used for large and medium-sized computers and giant computers. Because it can be mass production, the price is cheap, so using parallel many MPU as large and medium-sized computer CPU, has become a them to compete in the preservation measures must be taken. Because MPU is becoming more and more important, the battle in MPU is becoming more and more intense. MPU now has two types, namely, CISC (complex instruction set computer) and RISC (reduced instruction set computer), the former is mainly used for individual machine, which is mainly used in the workstation. So the MPU war is also on the following lines: First, CISC camp internal dispute, main is Intel ix86 series (most of the people, led by IBM compatibles, machine with its role CPU) and Motorola (Motorola) of 68000 series (mainly Apple (Apple) of individual machine use it as CPU). Now its a big win for Intel. Second, the debate within the RISC camp is now in the same league, and since the year before, everyone has launched a new generation of products that can be said to be killing ha
