cores / cache \ clock speed

1. clock speed

   • the clock speed is the speed to process instructions therefore, if you have bad /low clock speed you computer will take longer to process instructions
   • the clock speed uses {fetch > decade > execute} to process the instructions it is also measured in herts H2 1GH = 1,000,000,000
   • we use the clock speed to process the instructions on a computer so how fast the instructions are processed we need this or the computer can't function

2. CORES

   • A core is the brain of the computer
   • dual core - 2
   • quad core - 4
   • improves multitasking
   • individual processers

3. CACHE

   • the cache is what produces fast memory this is also known to be measured in mbs
   • the cache is a hardware and software that stores your memory
   • it uses mbs to store data

4. optical storage

   • cost effective
     • very portable
   • limited capacity
     • not very durable

5. magnetic storage

   • larger capacity than solid state
     • cost effective
   • not as durable due to moving parts
     • slower read/write speed compared to solid state

6. solid state storage

   • more durable than magnetic
   • read/ write much faster than magnetic storage
