Hardware

1. The CPU is a piece of hardware that is responsible for processing data for all of the tasks that a computer performs.

2. The CPU consists of a processor, cache memory and main memory.

   • Cache memory is your frequently used websites. For example if you visit the nike website frequently then it will be saved in your cache.

3. Performance of the CPU is affected by the cache size because it is able to provide instructions faster to the CPU than other system memory. The more cache the better its performance will be. Clock speed affects the performance of the CPU because the faster the clock speed, the faster the computer can run the F.D.E cycle therefore more instructions will be processed.
