computer performance

1. clock speed

   • you would get a prossesor with a faster clock speed
     • how
   • the faster this is the more cycles it can run per second and it will make the compuor faster and ore efficent
     • why
   • the time it takes for the CPU to complete a cycle of fetch decode and execute this is mesured in hz
     • what

2. cores

   • if you have more cores the CPU can carry out even more instructions in the same peiriod of time
     • how
   • getting a dual core prossor will mean more instructions being carried out and will carry put 2 in the time it akes 1 meaning it will be faster
     • why
   • this is the brain of the CPU the manipulate how many fetch decode and execute cycles can be done ,
     • what

3. cashe

4. RAM

   • main storage of data that is currently in use it is temporary f volitile not non volitile
   • if you have more RAM you do not have to use virtual memory
