Mobile processor

A mobile processor is a

cell phones

.

A CPU chip is designed for portable computers to run

clock frequency may be stepped down under low processor loads. This stepping down conserves power and prolongs battery life

.

Today's CPUs are usually more than just a single unit. They are split into "cores", each acting like an individual CPU. They also use "threading", allowing each core to do multiple tasks, amplifying the performance.^[2]

In laptops

One of the main characteristics differentiating

consumption, however, they are not without tradeoffs; they also tend to not perform as well as their desktop counterparts.^[3]

The notebook processor has become an important

market segment in the semiconductor industry. Notebook computers are a popular format of the broader category of mobile computers. The objective of a notebook computer is to provide the performance and functionality of a desktop computer in a portable

size and weight.

Cell phones and PDAs use "system on a chip" integrated circuits that use less power than most notebook processors.

While it is possible to use desktop processors in laptops, this practice is generally not recommended, as desktop processors heat faster than notebook processors and drain batteries faster.
