clock speed
1. the clock speed is the speed to process instructions therefore, if you have bad /low clock speed you computer will take longer to process instructions
2. the clock speed uses {fetch > decade > execute} to process the instructions it is also measured in herts H2 1GH = 1,000,000,000
3. we use the clock speed to process the instructions on a computer so how fast the instructions are processed we need this or the computer can't function
CORES
1. A core is the brain of the computer
2. dual core - 2
3. quad core - 4
4. improves multitasking
5. individual processers
CACHE
1. the cache is what produces fast memory this is also known to be measured in mbs
2. the cache is a hardware and software that stores your memory
3. it uses mbs to store data
optical storage
1. cost effective
  1. very portable
2. limited capacity
  1. not very durable
magnetic storage
1. larger capacity than solid state
  1. cost effective
2. not as durable due to moving parts
  1. slower read/write speed compared to solid state
solid state storage
1. more durable than magnetic
2. read/ write much faster than magnetic storage
