t microprocessor. For the most common 20MHz 80386 microprocessor the run time for each cycle is 59nanoseconds, but for a 33MHz mi- croprocessor the cycle time is reduced to 49 nanoseconds. The next 32-bit microprocessor in market are AT&Ts WE32100and 32200 (Mitchell, 5). These microprocessors also needed six peripheral chips in order to run, these are termed: Memory Management Units, floating pointarithmetic, Maths Accel- eration Units, Direct Memory Access Control, and Dynamic Rand Access Memory Control (Mitchell, 5). These microprocessors apartfrom the microprocessors all work an important part of processing the data that comes through the microprocessor. The difference from this microprocessor and theothers is because the WE32200 address information over the 32-bit range with the help of a disk to work as a slow form of memory (Mitchell, 9). The WE32200microprocessor runs at a frequency of 24MHz (Mitchell, 9). The 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors are a mere page in the great book of processor history. Therewill be many new and extremely different processors in the near future. A tremendous amount of time and money have been put into the making and improving of themicroprocessor. The improving and investment of billions of dollars are continually going toward the cause of elaborating the microprocessors. The evolution of themicroprocessor will continue to evolve for the better until the time when a much faster and more efficient electronic device is invented. This is turn will create a wholenew and powerful generation of computers. Hopefully this paper has given the reader some insight into the world of microprocessor and how much work has beenput into the manufacturing of the microprocessor over the years.
