ii) Because 8087 is used in serial with main processor in a system, rather than serving as a main processor itself. iii) Because main Microprocessor handles the general program execution and the 8087 handles specialized math computations.

As the 8086 fetches instruction bytes from the memory and puts them in its queue, the 8087 also reads these instruction bytes and puts them in its queue. The 8087 decodes each instruction that comes into its queue.

How does the main processor distinguish its instructions from the co-processor instructions when it fetches the instructions from memory? When main processor encounters the start of the mnemonic as ESC instruction, the instruction is for co-processor.

The difference between processor and Coprocessor is that the processor is the main processing unit of the computer that performs arithmetic, logic and control operations according to the instructions while the coprocessor is a specialized processor that supports the main processor.

Most of the latest Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs have four or more cores, which is what we consider the sweet spot for most mainstream users. Many late-model desktop Core i5 and Core i7 chips have six cores, and a few ultra-high-end gaming PCs come with eight-core Core i7s.

RAM is essentially the core of any computer or smartphone and in most cases, more is always better. RAM is as significant at the processor. A right amount of RAM on your smartphone or computer optimizes performance and the ability to support various types of software.

Yes. Throw the memory in and try the XMP profile…it may even run faster than 2666. You can always overclock the baseclock to go past 2666 regardless of motherboard limits…

2x8GB ram at 2666MHz, will always outperform a 1x8GB ram at 3200MHz. 16gb ram at 3200MHz vs 2666MHz, you’re looking at 0.1 to 0.5% performance increase. If you normally get 100fps in a video game with 2666MHz, then you’ll get like 101 or 102 FPS with 3200MHz.

You can use memory modules of different speeds as long as they are faster than those specified for your computer. It is recommended to use modules of the same speed as those already installed in your system. If you do mix speeds, the modules will all run at the speed of your slowest modules.

If you install higher frequency RAM than your CPU supports then this is considered an OC and then it depends on the IMC of your chip if the Memory Controller will play fair with your DIMMs. You will need to change settings in Bios for Primary Timings and Voltage as Bios will default to 2133Mhz.
