Computer Performance

1. Cores

   • A core, or CPU core, is the "brain" of a CPU
   • It receives instructions, and performs calculations,
   • The processor core receives instructions from a single computing task,

2. Cache

   • In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster
   • Cache memory is an extremely fast memory type
   • Cache is used because bulk, or main, storage can't keep up with the demands

3. Cock Speed

   • Also called clock rate, the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions.
   • Clock speed is measured in hertz
   • the operating speed of a computer or its microprocessor, expressed in cycles per second (megahertz).

4. RAM
