CPU CONFIGURATION
clock speed
-
the clock speed measures the number of cycles your CPU executes per second, measured in GHz (gigahertz)
the clock speed refers to the rate at which a computer's central processing unit (CPU) executes instructions.
by reducing the clock speed, you are slowing down the processing caabilities of your central processing unit. (CPU)
CPU clock speed is a good indicator of overall processor performance. though applications like video editing and streaming are known to rely on muli-core peformance.
Cache
cache memory is located between the main memory and the CPU. it is used to hold data that needs to be accessed very quickly. accessing ache memory is much faster than accessing main memory,
the data in a cache is generally stored in fast access hardware such as RAM and may also be used in correlation with a software component. A cache's primary purpose is to increase data retrieval performance by reducing the need to access the underlying slower storage layer.

the more cache memory a computer has, the faster it runs. however, because of its high-speed performance, cache memory is more expensive to build than RAM. therefore, cache memory tends to be very small in size.

cores
in computing a core refers to an individual processing unit within a CPU responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations

In summary, a core is a small CPU or processor built into a big CPU or CPU socket. It can independently perform or process all computational tasks
