Computer Perfomance

Computer Perfomance

1. Cores

   • Improves performance by allowing most applications to run at the same time
     • How?
       • improves multitasking
   • Why?
     • good multitasking
     • Minimum specification for software not being met
   • What?
     • Allowes the device to run apps simultaniously
     • Individual proccesors
     • Quad core-4
     • Quad core-2

2. Clock Speed

   • How?
     • Software and games would run smoothly
     • Can process more instructions per second, therefore programs will run faster
   • Why?
     • Current processor is too slow
     • Current processor is running slowly
     • Does not meet minimum or recommend spec for software required
   • What?
     • How fast the device processes instructions.
     • Measured in hertz - one instruction per second

3. Cache

   • What?
     • Very small - measured in MB
     • Stores frequently accessed instruction.

4. RAM
