    The document discusses factors that affect CPU performance such as clock speed, cache size, and number of cores. It also describes the two major parts of the CPU - the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) which performs arithmetic and logic operations, and the Control Unit which controls the flow of instructions. Finally, it prompts the reader to complete tables about how these factors impact performance and how three example devices use embedded systems.
