Computer Performance

1. CASHE

   • What?
     • Cache memory is important because it provides data to a CPU faster than main memory, which increases the processor's speed. ... The data that is stored in cache is usually the data and commands most often used by the CPU.
   • Why?
     • Cache memory holds frequently used instructions/data which the processor may require next and it is faster access memory than RAM, since it is on the same chip as the processor.

2. Clock speed

   • What
     • In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor.
   • Why
     • To make your applications run faster

3. RAM

   • Why
     • RAM upgrades are thought to speed up a computer; however, in actuality, they help computers avoid bottlenecking effects when trying to run a lot of high-memory programs.
   • How
     • Random access memory (RAM) is the best known form of computer memory.
