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 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 CPUs are designed so that the contents of a single integer register can store the address ( location ) of any datum in the computer's virtual memory.

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

Most frogs can be classified as either prolonged or explosive breeders.

Most salamanders are considered voiceless but the California giant salamander ( Dicamptodon ensatus ) has vocal cords and can produce a rattling or barking sound.

Most acids encountered in everyday life are aqueous solutions, or can be dissolved in water, and these two definitions are most relevant.

Most broadly, all numbers that can be defined explicitly or implicitly in terms of polynomials, exponentials, and logarithms are called " elementary numbers ", and these include the algebraic numbers, plus some transcendental numbers.

Most Christians deny that entry into Heaven can be properly earned, rather it is a gift that is solely God's to give through his unmerited grace.

Most metals and alloys can be work hardened by creating defects in their crystal structure.

Most of our information about him is derived from Herodotus ( 2. 161ff ) and can only be imperfectly verified by monumental evidence.

Most Amiga models can be upgraded either by direct CPU replacement or through expansion boards.

Most acute aphasia patients can recover some or most skills by working with a Speech-Language Pathologist.

Most professional astrologers are paid to predict the future or describe a person's personality and life, but most horoscopes only make vague untestable statements that can almost apply to any individual.

" Most tellingly, Pirckheimer wrote in a letter to Johann Tscherte in 1530: " I confess that in the beginning I believed in Luther, like our Albert of blessed memory ... but as anyone can see, the situation has become worse.

Most viruses encode proteins that can inhibit apoptosis.

Most legal cases in adversarial systems do not go to trial ; this can lead to great injustice when the defendant has an unskilled or overworked attorney, which is likely to be the case when the defendant is poor.

Most parts of Alaska that are off the road system can only be reached by small airplane.

Most bridges are utiltiarian in appearance, but in some cases, the appearance of the bridge can have great importance.

Most games use a standardized and unchanging board ( chess, Go, and backgammon each have such a board ), but many games use a modular board whose component tiles or cards can assume varying layouts from one session to another, or even while the game is played.

A Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) award is given to the outstanding player in each series, though voters can consider performances made during the divisional series.

* Most Blu-ray players can also play standard DVDs and CDs ( although this feature is not compulsory in the Blu-ray standard ).

Most often she appears as an ugly, frightening hag, but she can also appear as a stunningly beautiful woman of any age that suits her.

Most structural bricks are made by this method, as it produces hard, dense bricks, and suitable dies can produce holes or other perforations.

Most studies have been based only on bipolar I, however, and treatment during the acute phase can be a particular challenge.

Most are administered orally ; however, they can also be given intravenously, intramuscularly or rectally.

Most modern ciphers can be categorized in several ways

Most scholars of copyright agree that it can be called a kind of property, because it involves the exclusion of others from something.
