Systems’ Specification

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:


1. Identify the computer’s system specifications.
2. Know the different method in getting system’s information.

INTRODUCTION
The hardware specifications of a computer will vary depending on what
an individual user will be doing with it. A person that wants to use their
computer for graphically intense games or video editing will need a totally
different configuration than somebody that just wants to browse the
Internet and type word documents.
When reviewing a computer specification, the most important
components to take account of are the processor, the amount of RAM
and the size of the hard drive as these are central to the overall
capability of the system. If it is planned to use specialized programs for
students with special needs (e.g., scan/read software), it is advisable to
purchase a suitable specification computer to meet the system
requirements for these programs.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
The specification or ‘spec’ is a list of the key components that make up
the computer. It is provided by retailers to help buyers decide which PC,
and which combination of features, they need. When buying a PC, it is
important to start by deciding what it is you want the PC to do. This then
informs what specification you actually need.

Purchasing Considerations
Consider the following points when purchasing PCs
• What is the intended use of the PC and will the chosen
specification fulfil these aims?
• Is the PC compatible with existing computer equipment and
software?
• Is the technical support service satisfactory?
• A minimum 3 year warranty including next business day (NBD)
onsite, including full parts and labor is recommended
• Will added peripherals be required such as headphones, optical
and mice?
• Easy access of multiple USB ports.
• Operating System licensing options.

The hardware specifications of a computer will vary depending on what


an individual user will be doing with it. A person that wants to use their
computer for graphically intense games or video editing will need a totally
different configuration than somebody that just wants to browse the
Internet and type word documents. Take a look at this advertisement

The given specification written on this information is based on intel core


7th generation technology. It is recommended if you are looking for a
greater and most advanced technology, but this is quite expensive. It
costs you thousands of pesos in order to obtain this great performance.

However, if you are an internet user, small business owner, or just a


simply home pc owner using the mentioned specifications are not
suitable to an end-user like you. A dual core processor with 4gb memory
is practically suggested.

Multimedia editors, graphics designers and hard-core gamers are


suggested to run-in high-speed computers. Quad core to eight core CPUs
with 8 to 16 GB memory, high end graphic cards and 24-inch monitor
are fairly enough to apply some difficult effects and play most high-end
games.

Computer specifications depend in different needs of every users, what


exactly they do, what are they trying to do, and what are the different
purposes. You don’t need to buy high end PC if you don’t need high
performing computer, try to purchase a PC based on the specification
you need.

Lithography Lithography refers to the semiconductor technology
used to manufacture an integrated circuit, and is
reported in nanometer (nm), indicative of the size of
features built on the semiconductor
Recommended Recommended Customer Price (RCP) is pricing
Customer Price guidance only for Intel products. Prices are for direct
Intel customers, typically represent 1,000-unit
purchase quantities, and are subject to change
without notice. Prices may vary for other package
types and shipment quantities. If sold in bulk, price
represents individual unit. Listing of RCP does not
constitute a formal pricing offer from Intel.
Number of Core Cores is a hardware term that describes the number
of independent central processing units in a single
computing component (die or chip).
Thread A Thread, or thread of execution, is a software term
for the basic ordered sequence of instructions that
can be passed through or processed by a single CPU
core.
Processor Base Processor Base Frequency describes the rate at which
Frequency the processor's transistors open and close. The
processor base frequency is the operating point where
TDP is defined. Frequency is measured in gigahertz
(GHz), or billion cycles per second.
Max turbo Max turbo frequency is the maximum single core
frequency frequency at which the processor is capable of
operating using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
Frequency is measured in gigahertz (GHz), or billion
cycles per second.
Cache CPU Cache is an area of fast memory located on the
processor. Intel® Smart Cache refers to the
architecture that allows all cores to dynamically share
access to the last level cache
Intel® Turbo Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 identifies the
Boost Max best performing core(s) on a processor and provides
Technology 3.0 increased performance on those cores through
increasing frequency as needed by taking advantage of
power and thermal headroom. Intel® Turbo Boost
