Performance of CPU
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1What are the factors that effect CPU performance?- Number of Cores
- Cache size
- Clock speed
- GPU
- RAM - 2What is Clock Speed?The Number of Fetch - Decode - Execute - Cycles that can run per second
- 3How does Clock speed effect CPU PerformanceThe faster the Clock speed (The Higher the rate), the more instructions can be executed per second
- 4What is Clock Speed Measured in?Hz, Hertz
- 5What is Cache?is a small amount of High speed random access memory, built directly into CPU
- 6How does Cache effect CPU Performance?Higher cache size = less time the CPU has to wait for data to be fetched from Slower alternatives e.g RAM
- 7What type of memory does Cache hold?Holds frequently used data that is likely to be used
- 8How does the number of cores effect CPU performance?Greater number of cores = the greater number of instructions that can be processed per second as each core can process one instruction at a time
