difference between a performance module and and a performance chip?

Question

I have a S-10 4.3 liter

Answer 1

Depending on the year if you have a distributor ignition system then the module is located in the distributor and the "chip" is the PROM installed in the onboard computer.

Answer 2

I'm not going to give you a massive paragraph, let me sum it up. A Module is an AMD term which they use to describe Bulldozer Modules, they are 2 cores that share some minor resources. A core is a processor, in multi-cored processors, it is like having that amount of processors, except they share a large L3 Cache, Threads are another name for Virtual cores, Intel's hyperthreading allows cores to act as 2, which brings great performance boosts. i3 is 2 cores with hyperthreading, i5 is 4 cores without hyperthreading, and an i7 is 4 cores with hyperthreading. The threads that it is talking about in task manager are the threads that are open, they are like actions waiting to be executed through one of the virtual cores or threads. I hope I helped :)

Answer 3

A chip installs into the vehicles computer, A module plugs into the vehicles wiring harness.

Answer 4

A chip is a component that fits within a module.

Answer 5

They have explained it above. Just imagine your computer case and the computer chip. They are totally different. The chip is inside the case. (I know it is in the motherboard but to give you a reference of what you can see)
