- 1The Purpose of a CPUA CPU fetches, decodes and executes instructions.
- 2FDE CycleFDE stands for "fetch, decode, execute." It is the process used by the CPU to carry out instructions.
- 3Factors affecting performancePerformance of a CPU can be affected by: The amount of cores, the clock speed and the amount of cache.
- 4Impact of Cache and RAMMore Cache can improve performance as it means the CPU doesn't have to go to the RAM for memory which takes more time than visiting the on board cache.
- 5Impact of multiple coresMore cores in a CPU means that more tasks can be carried out at one time as a core can only complete one task at any given time.
- 6Impact of clock speedClock speed is the amount of tasks the CPU can complete per second. A higher clock speed would improve performance as more tasks could be carried out
