What affects the Performance?

What affects the Performance?

1. Core: The core affects the performance of the CPU.There are four types of cores: single, dual, quad and 8 core.

   • Dual core will double the amount of instructions processed per second.
   • Quad core will quadruple the amount of instructions processed per second. Four times as many instructions will be processed.
   • 8 Core will times the amount of instructions processed by the computer by 8.
   • Having multiple cores means the faster the data can be transferred.

2. Clock Speed

   • The faster the clock speed, the more instructionsthe processor can complete per second.
   • Clock speed is usually measured in MHz(megahertz, or millions of pulses per second) or GHz(gigahertz, or billions of pulses per second)

3. Cache Size

   • Cache has a bigger memory size and is used to store more immediate instructions.
   • The larger the size of the cache, the faster the data transfer and the better the CPU performance.
   • The purpose of the cache is to ensure this smooth and fast transition of data transfer from the hardware to the CPU.
   • Cache holds commonly used instructions.
