1.1.2 A Common Characteristics of the CPU vs Performance
clock
measured in Hertz(Hz)
1 clock tick = 1 Hz
most CPU run at billons of ticks per second
during each tick and instruction is executed
most CPU's can go up to 3 GHz(3 billion instruction per second)
CPU's need fans to keep cool.
better CPU = more fans
Overlocked CPU's CPU's run faster
cores
modern CPU's are divided in to core
each core is a complete processing unit
4 cores = quad core
2 cores = dual core
each core contains all CPU registers
1 task can be split to 2 different cores
more core = CPU can run faster(carry out more instructions)
cache
small but fast
temporary storage between RAM and CPU
Can be internal to external
stores frequently used data instructions
