1. CPU

   • Process
     • Execute
     • Fetch
     • Decode
   • Central Processing Unit
   • Components
     • Register
       • A register is a temporary storage area built into a CPU
     • Controll unit
     • ALU
       • Arithmatic Logic Unit
   • TO IMPROVE
     • MORE CORES
     • BIGGER CASHe
     • Increases clock speed

2. Memory

   • Volatile
     • RAM
       • Stores information that your computer is actively using
     • Cashe
       • Fast memory that is a buffer in-between the CPU and RAM
     • Virtual Memory
       • AN extension of RAM
   • Non-Volatile
     • ROM
