Most modern CPUs are primarily von Neumann in design, but elements of the Harvard architecture are commonly seen as well.

Most of these early synchronous CPUs ran at low clock rates compared to modern microelectronic designs ( see below for a discussion of clock rate ).

Most CPUs, and indeed most sequential logic devices, are synchronous in nature.

Most modern CPU designs are at least somewhat superscalar, and nearly all general purpose CPUs designed in the last decade are superscalar.

Most early vector CPUs, such as the Cray-1, were associated almost exclusively with scientific research and cryptography applications.

Most modern CPUs have several execution units.

; unaligned access: Most CPUs are byte-addressable, where each unique memory address refers to an 8-bit byte.

Most CPUs can access individual bytes from each memory address, but they generally cannot access larger units ( 16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits and so on ) without these units being " aligned " to a specific boundary.

Most modern CPUs " guess " which branch will be taken even before the calculation is complete, so that they can load up the instructions for the branch, or ( in some architectures ) even start to compute them speculatively.

* Most people own more than one P. C., though the concept of what a " computer " is has changed considerably: Computers are no longer limited in design to laptops or CPUs contained in a large box connected to a monitor.

Most CPUs implement the processor registers as a small dual-ported or multi-ported RAM ( see Register File ).

Most modern CPUs are considerably more complex than this description suggests.

Most modern CPUs are so fast that for most program workloads, the bottleneck is the locality of reference of memory accesses and the efficiency of the caching and memory transfer between different levels of the hierarchy.

Most high performance 32-bit and 64-bit processors ( some notable exceptions are most ARM and 32-bit MIPS CPUs ) have integrated floating point hardware, which is often, but not always, based on 64-bit units of data.

Most modern CPUs increase their effective operating speeds by multiplying the system clock frequency by a factor ( the CPU multiplier ).

Most modern mainstream and value CPUs are made with a lower TDP to reduce heat, noise, and power consumption.

Most modern desktop and server CPUs have at least three independent caches: an instruction cache to speed up executable instruction fetch, a data cache to speed up data fetch and store, and a translation lookaside buffer ( TLB ) used to speed up virtual-to-physical address translation for both executable instructions and data.

Most modern CPUs will only cause a therm-trip on a catastrophic cooling failure such as a stuck fan or a loose heatsink.

Most machines use the Runway bus to connect the CPUs directly to the IOMMU ( Astro, U2 / Uturn or Java ) and memory.

Most modern CPUs ( even embedded CPUs ) are now pipelined, and microcoded CPUs with no pipelining are seen only in the most area-constrained embedded processors.

Most modern CPUs feature SIMD instruction sets ( SSE, AltiVec etc.

Most of them are Democrats and nearly all consider themselves, and are viewed as, liberals.

Most assuredly ideas are invaluable.

Most students of literature, whether they call themselves scholars or critics, are ready to argue that it is possible to understand literary works as well as to enjoy them.

Most women, in this age of freezers, shop for the entire week on week-ends, when prices are lower.

Most Juniors who were entered in the Finals are seasoned campaigners and not only show and win in Junior Classes but score in the Breed Classes as well.

Most beakers are graduated in cubic centimeters ( cc. ), making it necessary to convert the result to cubic inches.

Most seams are sewn with backstitch, especially on curved, slanted or loose edges.

Most floor battens are glued and screwed to the flooring.

Most of the data used are from Groth's Chemische Krystallographie.

Most manufacturers also seem to be concentrating on formulating fire-resistant or self-extinguishing grades of urethane foam that are aimed specifically at the burgeoning building markets.

Most other desserts are fruit in some form, fresh fruits once daily at least, sometimes at snack time.

The general board declared: `` Most of the Protestant churches hold contraception and periodic continence to be morally right when the motives are right.

1 ) Most of the legends that are created to fan the fires of patriotism are essentially propagandistic and are not folk legends at all.

Most Jewish mothers are determined to exercise vigilance over the social and sexual lives of their daughters by keeping them home.

Most members of the U.S. Senate, because they are human, like to eat as high on the hog as they can.

Most library budgets are hopelessly inadequate.

Most of these former churches are now used as warehouses, but `` neither Anglicans nor Nonconformists object to selling churches to Roman Catholics '', and have done so.

Most of the female faces are new, or at least not too familiar.

Most references to " amoebas " or " amoebae " are to amoeboids in general rather than to the specific genus Amoeba.

Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, though they support many additional characters.

Most have four limbs and live in fresh water or on land but the caecilians, though included in the group, live in burrows in damp soil and are limbless.

Most salamanders are under long.
