Is machine language different for every CPU?

Each CPU has its own specific machine language. The processor reads and handles instructions, which tell the CPU to perform a simple task.

Does each computer has its own machine language?

Each computer can directly understand only one language—its own machine language. With machine language a programmer can instruct a computer to perform its most fundamental operations. Machine languages consist of strings of numbers ultimately reduced to 1’s and 0’s.

Does each CPU have its own assembly language?

Assemblers. There is a one-to-one relationship between an assembly language instruction and its machine code equivalent. Each CPU has its own version of machine code and assembly language.

Does the CPU understand machine language?

Machine code is CPU dependent; it is a series of 1s and 0s that translate to instructions that are understood by the CPU. Source code is computer programming language instructions that are written in text that must be translated into machine code before execution by the CPU.

Why is every CPU different?

LITTLE, the processor contains cores with different performance and power profiles, i.e. some cores run fast but draw lots of power (faster architecture and/or higher clocks) while others are energy-efficient but slow (slower architecture and/or lower clocks).

Is there only one machine language?

Nope. Any given CPU is likely to use only one kind of machine language, but any modern computer is likely to have multiple components that have their own processor programmed using its own instruction set.

Do different cpus require different assemblers?

You can have two different/incompatible assembly languages for the same processor/family. Of course the CPU itself will determine what concepts are needed in the assembly language – e.g. 16 registers or 8, of different sizes, etc.

Is machine code still used?

Today programmers rarely write programs in machine language. Instead, they use the clearer assembly languages or high-level languages. Unfortunately, computers could not understand these programs, so the mnemonics still had to be translated into machine language for processing.

Are all CPU cores the same?

Performance in games tends to be determined by single core speed, whereas applications like video editing are determined by number of cores. In terms of what is available on the market – all the CPUs seem to have roughly the same speed with the main differences being more threads or more cores.
