1.2 Component Speeds and Clocks Flashcards
1
Q
CPU
A
Frequency of CPU is determined by clock multiplier on FSB
By varying clock multiplication factor or FSB, CPU speeds can differ
2
Q
Memory
A
Memory bus and FSB operate at same frequency
3
Q
Overclocking (+ How is it achieved? 2)
A
Making components operate beyond stock performance by manipulating frequencies at which they run
Achieved by:
- Increasing system clock
- Increase clock multiplication factor (frequency of component
