Question

Hi, I am a bit confused, any help is appreciated.

b) Its main processor must be able to process 8 or more bytes of data at a time at a speed of at least 1 billion cycles per second.
c) Its main memory must hold the equivalent of at least 8 billion characters at one time.
d) It must be able to hold the equivalent of at least 1 trillion characters at one time on an internal storage device.
e) It must be able to connect to an industry standard wired LAN and, under ideal conditions, transfer the equivalent of 125 million characters to another computer in one second.
f) It must be able to connect to an industry standard WLAN and, under ideal conditions, transfer more than 30 million characters to another computer in one second.
g) You must be able to transfer data at more than 100 million characters per second to at least two peripheral devices connected to the computer. (List the details of the connection, not those of possible devices.)
h) Its display should be able to display at least 980,000 dots at one time.
i) You must be able to connect an external monitor to it.
j) You must be able to video conference with others through built-in hardware devices. (Be sure to separately list all required hardware devices needed to accomplish this.)

Translate the above criteria into correct computer specifications. If you are not sure what some of the
above criteria mean, consult a friend, or talk with a computer salesperson in at a store or via online chat on the website.

Explanation / Answer

b) Since 1 byte is 8 bit therefore processor processing 8 or more byte of data implies that it is 64 bit processor.

Also the clock speed is 1 billion cycles per second which is equal to 1 GigaHert.

Therefore in short it is 64 bit processor running at 1 Gh clock speed.

c)1 character is 1 byte therefore 8 billion characters = 8 GB.

Therefore RAM is 8GB.

d)Internal storage device refers to Hard disk which can hold 1 trillion characters(1 trillion bytes) which is equal to 1TB.

Therefore Harddisk is 1TB.

e)The computer has got lan port and the maximum supportable speed is 125 million bytes per second which is equal to 125 Mega bytes per second or 125 Mbps.

f)Computer has got Wifi Adapter and Wifi capability and the maximum data transfer speed is 30 million bytes per second which is 30 Mbps.

g)Device has got Bluetooth capability with speed of 100 Mbps.

h)Display resolution is 1366 x 768 which is greater than 980000 dots in a screen with 16:9 aspect ratio.

i)HDMI/VGA port is available to connect to external monitor.

j)To do video conferencing Fron Facing Web cam should be there,CODEC unit- which compresses the audio and video and sents it along IP network.Display device is also required.

Microphone and speakers should also be available along with that corresponding drivers.
