1The Purpose of a CPUThe purpose is to perform the fetch execute decode cycle with instructions.
2FDE CycleThis stands for the fetch decode execute cycle which is how the CPU performs actions.
3Factors affecting performanceThe factors that affect performance are clock speed, cache size and the amount of cores.
4Impact of multiple coresMultiple cores mean that the CPU can complete multiple instructions at once, increasing performance.
5Impact of Cache and RAMThe bigger the cache and RAM, the faster the clock speed is. This is because it can fetch information from a closer source. A bigger Cache is more valuable to a CPU than a bigger RAM.
