Modern central (computing) processors in computers, including pocket (smart phones) can cope with any puzzles by adding two numbers to the possibilities of artificial intelligence. However, the versatility of the CPU leads to the fact that some of the tasks it performs better and some worse. Any processor is always better to cope with the task for which it is intended. Modern CPUs include many raznofunktsionalnyh blocks. If the processor processes the data stream using hardware acceleration, you are utilized arbitrary units. When tasks are performed on the blocks for which they are intended, then we say that the task is executed on the hardware acceleration is many times faster than software.

Although in fact, WCDMA is not a data transmission standard, but a technology of broadband code division multiple access, on the basis of which all high-speed data transmission standards are built ( EV-DO , UMTS , HSPA , LTE ).

Wi-Fi , Wi-Fi , Wi-Fi (English, abbr. from wireless fidelity - literally wireless accuracy) - a wireless communication standard designed to organize wireless local area networks and transmit data wirelessly. A mid-range wireless channel, usually one transceiver, allows you to cover an apartment or office. Wi-Fi operation is carried out over the radio channel at 2.4, 5 GHz frequencies and is defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard.
IEEE 802.11 standard specifications

IEEE 802.11h
IEEE 802.11i
IEEE 802.11j
IEEE 802.11n
IEEE 802.11ac
Devices that support the IEEE 802.11a standard work in the 5 GHz frequency band and provide a bit rate of up to 54 Mbps.
Now the most common 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n.
Devices with IEEE 802.11b operate in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz and provide a bit rate up to 11 Mbit / s. Devices with IEEE 802.11g operate in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz and provide a bit rate up to 54 Mbit / s. Devices with 802.11 Super g standard can provide a bit rate of up to 108 Mbit / s. Devices with 802.11n standard allow to work in the frequency ranges 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (some devices support simultaneous operation in two bands) provide a bit rate of 600 Mbit / s, is maintained multiantenna technology (MIMO), new methods of encoding and modulation. In fact, most devices which are assigned to vendors support 802.11n standard is maintained only partially its specification, however, such devices obepechivayut bit rate of not more than 300 (less 450) Mbit / s; mobile devices otsutsvuyut multiantenna system, and therefore is not supported by the MIMO, so the maximum Wi-Fi connection speed is even lower. Devices with 802.11ac standard are the most advanced solution allows to operate in the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (some devices support simultaneous operation in two bands) provide a bit rate of 1300 Mbit / s.
Remark 1 . In order for the channel to transmit at the indicated speeds, both devices must maintain the required standard.
Remark 2 . The user data transfer rate is usually 2-4 times lower than the bit rate specified in the device characteristics. With the deterioration of the environment and noise conditions, the user data transfer rate decreases even more. Part of the bandwidth is allocated for service needs, even in ideal conditions, the user data transfer rate cannot exceed 98% of the bit rate at which the devices operate.
Remark 3 . The specified maximum bit rate in the 802.11n and 802.11ac standards is achieved only when using multi-antenna systems on both devices involved in data exchange.

The standards define the typical range of wireless devices. For 802.11g indoor devices:
• 30–40 meters at a speed of 54 Mbps;
• 80–100 meters at a speed of 1 Mbps.

Outdoor:
• 150–200 meters at a speed of 54 Mbps;
• 400–500 meters at a speed of 1 Mbps.

WiMAX (eng., abbr. from Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a telecommunications technology designed to provide universal wireless communications over long distances. Combines the advantages of technology Wi-FI and technology data transmission in mobile cellular networks. WiMAX is a network of larger scale, such as the scale of a city, the range of a WiMAX transmitter reaches 50 km. WiMAX allows you to maintain connection and transfer data even when the user moves with great speed. One WiMAX transmitter provides a larger connection (rather than Wi-FI ) the number of users without losing speed. In addition to Internet access, WiMAX can be used for high-quality voice and video communications, broadcasting radio stations and television.

WP (English, abbr. from windows phone) - an operating system for mobile devices, developed by Microsoft. Often confused with Windows Mobile, even though these operating systems have the same roots, they are completely different and not compatible with each other.

In the first revisions of the standard, the maximum theoretical data transfer rate was 14.4 kbit / s, in the last one the speed rose to 115.2 kbit / s. Is the predecessor of the family CDMA-2000 .

CDMA-2000 or IMT-MC - the second most popular after GSM digital mobile cellular standards family. Includes standards CDMA2000 1xRTT and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO .

CDMA2000 1xRTT or IS-2000 (eng., abbr. from Interim Standard 2000) or abbreviated 1x - the first standard of wireless data transmission (Internet access) in cellular networks of the family CDMA-2000 . Is an evolution of the standard CDMA-One . Allows you to transfer data with a maximum theoretical speed of 153 kbps. In reality, the speed is 80-100 kbps.

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (Eng. Single carrier EVolution-Data Only - the evolution of data transmission on a single carrier) is often reduced to EV-DO or EV - standard of wireless high-speed data transmission (broadband Internet access) in cellular networks of the family CDMA-2000 . Is an evolution of the standard CDMA2000 1xRTT , doubles the channel capacity (data transfer rate) of each subscriber and the maximum possible number of subscribers. It uses both technology of code division of channels, and technology of temporary division of channels. Allows you to transfer data with a maximum theoretical speed of 3.2 Mbps, in practice, the speed is 500-1000 kbit / s.

CM - the same as Cyanogen

CSC - This is part of the firmware on Samsung android devices, which determines the regional firmware settings. It contains part of the programs with national localization.

Cydia - a program that comes with a jailbreak (iOS hacking), which allows you to install applications that are not officially supported by Apple. Third-party applications are installed from special sites called repositories.

S-off - method unlocking bootloader HTC devices running the Android operating system. Analog Hard SPL in windows mobile. S-Off allows you to use informal firmware by disabling authentication in loader and removing the secuflag protection, i.e. S-Off, makes it possible to overwrite the logical partitions "system" and "recovery" located on the built-in drive.

Soft-touch - the covering, to the touch reminding velvet rubber. This coating is less susceptible to the appearance of small scratches, fingerprints and does not slip in your hand.

SPL (English, abbr. from second program loader) - operating system loader (analog Bios on PC). Through it happens firmware devices. SPL also checks compatibility firmware and devices by checking CID i.e. does not allow to install firmware not intended for a specific device ( unofficial firmware and firmware for other regions). SPL is also called bootloader om, although the English word bootloader can mean any bootloader.

SSD (English, abbr. from a solid state drive - solid-state drive) - non-volatile information storage device without moving mechanical parts. Considered as a replacement for hard drives on personal computers. It is necessary to distinguish solid-state drives based on the use of volatile (RAM SSD) and non-volatile (NAND or Flash SSD) memory. Subject on our forum SSD - flash-based drives .
Architecture and operation
RAM SSD

These drives are constructed on the use of volatile memory (same as that used in the RAM PC) characterized ultrafast read, write and search information. Their main disadvantage is the extremely high cost (80 to 800 US dollars per gigabyte). Used primarily to speed up the large database management systems and powerful graphics workstations. These drives are generally equipped with batteries to store data when power is lost, while more expensive models - backup systems and / or operational backup.

A peculiar kind of such drives is the RIndMA disk — a secondary PC connected to a fast RAM network connection with a software RAM drive. Such a computer is an order of magnitude cheaper than specialized solutions, but is not recommended for use in data-critical applications.

NAND SSD

Drives, built on the use of non-volatile memory (NAND SSD), appeared relatively recently, but due to the much lower cost (from $ 2 [9] per gigabyte) started to gain market confidence. Until recently significantly inferior to conventional drives in reading and writing, but this is compensated (especially when reading) high speed information retrieval (comparable to the speed of RAM). It is now available with Flash SSDs read and write speeds comparable to traditional and developed models, significantly surpassing them. Characterized by a relatively small size and low power consumption. We have almost completely conquered the market mid-level database accelerators and begin to crowd the traditional drives for mobile applications.

Touchscreen (English TouchScreen) - the screen of the device with touch control, the user interacts with the device by touching the screen. Onscreen sensors in mobile devices are of two types: resistive and capacitive. Resistive sensors allow you to enter with any object, as long as the upper sensor layer on the screen is closed with the lower one. The top layer must be flexible, therefore it is rather soft and scratch-prone, especially when using computer pen . Capacitive sensors have good sensitivity and responsiveness, but work only when you touch it with your finger (as well as other organic objects and special “big” styluses). They are located under the surface of the screen, so when using such sensors, it is possible to cover the device with glass or scratch-resistant plastic. Capacitive sensors are fundamentally less accurate than resistive.
