how can I find something about IC fabrication ( number of layer in pentium 4) ?

It becomes increasingly more difficult to compete when what you’re up against is cheaper, faster and being touted by most of the press as the only solution that makes sense.  On the flip side of the coin, things can get pretty tough when your chief competitor has the marketing muscle, dollars and trust in their brand name to convince over 70% of the market that they are still the right choice.\n\nThis is the predicament that both AMD and Intel happen to find themselves in.  They each have a different set of issues to deal with and in a sense, are both fighting an uphill battle for control in the x86 microprocessor space.  \n\nAMD’s solution is one that has been promising since it’s introduction.  The Athlon processor not only outperforms everything Intel can offer in almost all situations, but the Athlon is also selling for extremely low prices.  The flagship Athlon 1.4GHz processor can be found for under $180 while Intel’s Pentium 4 1.7GHz processor will set you back over $300.  The only problem AMD has really had with acceptance of their Athlon processor is platform reliability and it appears as if NVIDIA may be the one to solve that issue very soon.  \n\nThe Pentium 4 processor has been Intel’s answer to the very successful Athlon.  Although capable to run at very high clock speeds, the processor’s NetBurst architecture has not even been slightly tapped by currently available clock frequencies.  The unfortunate result of this is that the real world performance of today’s Pentium 4 systems is below that of what AMD can offer.  When you combine lower performance with a higher price, you can easily see why AMD has picked up a lot of market share recently.

try the AMD website. I did this for intel and it worked well.

I don't think there is a "simple" way to describe the process, you could check this out   - http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2006/volume10issue02/art03_Power_and_Thermal_Management/vol10_art03.pdf

It's just a manufacturer's number.See the link below for info.

You would be able to know using the processor model number (not speed).

Go to the websites of companies that sell the hardware and look up the specification sheets for each piece.

go to the pc chips website

Try gelest.com, they manufacture a LOT of Si compounds for many applications.

Here is a good article on what goes into making a chip and this goes for most memory as well.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

When you turn on your computer it will display about the mother board Make. But its good if you can open the cabinet and can see the motherboard Model Number.  Atleast if you know the make and speed of your Processor etc, we can make it out about the display card atleast.
