- 1What is a ZIF socket?Zero Insertion Force socket
Where you insert the CPU onto the MOBO - 2What is PGA?Pin Grid Array
When you have a ZIF socket on the MOBO, the CPU will have this to insert into the MOBO with
- 3How many cores can a CPU have?Can be Dual-core, quad-core, octa-core, or just multi-core
* Each core have it’s own CPU
*Seperate transactions are happening simultaneously - 4What is CPU cache?Cache memory is very fast but holds information temporarily
*things like saved passwords, preferences, etc.
There are several levels of cache memory - 5How many levels of cache is there?There is L1, L2, L3 caches.
L1 is usually the first check/storage of data
L2 secondary holding spot
L3 can be shared with all the cores and can be with L1&L2 or “on the chip” - 6What is the overall flow of storing data?Goes first to L1 cache—>L2 cache—>L3 cache then it goes to RAM—>HDD/SSD permanent storage
*This is also the hierarchy of speed - 7What is HTT?Hyper-Threading Technology
Allows for the CPU to make transactions in and out at the same time
“Acts” as if 2 CPUs but isn’t
Can Improve performance - 8What is Processor speed?In the past CPUs had a rating in Megahertz(MHz)—> 1million transactions/s
Newer systems are rated in Gigahertz (GHz)—>billions transactions/s
*Actual performance/speed determine the of what you want or require out of your computer - 9What is overclocking?Increasing the clock speed of the CPU
Can improve performance
*Overclocking can void the warranty - 10What is a GPU?Graphics Processing Unit
Integrated with the CPU
Helps the CPU to process graphics since graphics are work intensive - 11What do the fans on top of the CPU do?They are meant to cool the CPU since the CPU is constantly working therefore outputting a lot of heat
- 12What is a heat sink?Heat Sinks sit in between the fan and the CPU and help to draw out the heat away from the CPU
typically made of copper or aluminum alloy - 13What is thermal paste?thermal paste glues the heat sink to the CPU and further helps to draw out that heat to cool the CPU
- 14What is fan-less/passive cooling?Usually devices that have this type of cooling for their CPUs typically specialized devices or devices that have limited functions (not desktop/laptop computers)
Have lower powered components to where they do not need fans - 15What is liquid cooling?Used for high end computers specialized in high end graphics
Uses actual liquid to cool the CPU and pulls the heat away and as it moves through the interior it cools again
