CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION OF CPU
A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central
processor, main processor or just processor, is the
electronic circuitry that executes instructions
comprising a computer program. The CPU performs
basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output
(I/O) operations specified by the instructions in the
program.
FUNCTIONING OF CPU
BUS SPEED
The term "bus speed" refers
to how quickly the system
bus can move data from one
computer component to the
other. The faster the bus, the
more data it can move within
a given amount of time.
MAIN MEMORY SIZE
The main memory of a computer can
also be called as primary memory. It is
also known as random access memory
that is RAM . when computer is shut
down all the data in RAM is erased.
Primary memory is computer memory
that is accessed directly by the CPU .
RAM is normally located on the
motherboard and so is typically less
than 12 inches from the CPU.This
include a several type of memory such
as the processor cache and system
ROM.
CACHE MEMORY
Cache memory, also called
cache, supplementary memory
system that temporarily stores
frequently used instructions and
data for quicker processing by
the central processing unit
(CPU) of a computer. The cache
augments, and is an extension
of, a computer's main memory.
Difference between RAM and ROM
CLOCK RATE OF THE C.P.U
Clock speed is the number of pulses the
central processing unit's
(CPU) clock generates per second. It is
measured in hertz.
Cpu clocks can sometimes be sped up
slightly by the user. This process is known
as overclocking. The more pulses per
second, the more fetch-decode-
execute cycles that can be performed and
the more instructions that are processed in
a given space of time. Overclocking can
cause long term damage to the CPU as it is
working harder and producing more heat.
CONCLUSION
CPU is essentially a hardware that performs functions related to
input and output, processing and storage of data for a computer
system. A CPU can store data, instructions, programs, and
intermediate results. It also controls the functions of all the
significant parts of a computer. A CPU has various components
which are dedicated to performing certain functions. The main
memory is used for storing all the data and instructions that are
required for processing. The logic section performs the function of
carrying out complex operations such as addition, division,
multiplication, and subtraction
