RATIONALE: This MC sets forth the minimum technical specifications for High-End, Mid- Range, and Low-End Desktop Computers to be used by PNP personnel for their office works. 3. SITUATION: Three sets of technical specifications (High-End, Mid-Ranges, and Low- End) were crafted and approved to address the different purposes, usages, and budgetary allocations of the different PNP offices/units. Due to the fast-paced technological advancement, there are obvious delays in the procurement since some of the specifications need to be amended. Page 4 of 54, PURPOSE: To establish the minimum technical specifications for High-End, Mid-Range, and Low-End Desktop Computers that will serve as reference in the procurement of said equipment. 5. DEFINITION OF TERMS: For purposes of this MC, the following terms, words, and phases shall mean or understood as follows: a. Base Clock - it is a guaranteed clock speed for full typical (but not peak) utilization. It is a measure that the CPU manufacturer guarantees all cores on the processor can run at with reasonable cooling. b. Bluetooth - refers to a low-power wireless networking technology operating in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. There are two classes of Bluetooth device — Class 1 devices have higher output power and a range of about 100 meters, and Class 2 devices have lower power and a range of about 10 meters. c. Connectivity ~ refers to a generic term for connecting devices to each other in order to transfer data back and forth. It often refers to network connections, which embrace bridges, routers, switches and gateways as well as backbone networks. It may also refer to connecting a home or office to the Internet or connecting a digital camera to a computer or printer. d. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) — refers to a traditional storage device that uses mechanical spinning platters and a moving read/write head to access data. e. Memory — refers to any device or recording medium into which binary data can be stored and held, and from which the entire original data can be retrieved f. Power Supply Unit (PSU) — converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer. g. Processor — refers to an electrical component (digital circuit) that performs operations on an external data source, usually memory or some other data stream. h. Software - programs, procedures, rules, and any associated documentation pertaining to the operation of a system. i. Solid State Drives (SSD) — refer to a new generation of storage device used in computers. SSDs use flash-based memory, which is much faster than a traditional mechanical hard disk. Page 2 of 5j. Sound Controller — refers to an intemal expansion card that provides input and output of audio signals to and from a computer under control of computer programs. k. Universal Serial Bus (USB) ~ refers to a standard for connection sockets on computers and other electronic equipment. |.
