Computer Specifications

Question 1

What are the main specifications?

Answer 1

Processor unit and the secondary storage devices

Question 2

Computer processing. What does the processor do?

Answer 2

Performs almost all of the computation and controls the functioning of the other devices.

Question 3

List some of the most common processors

Answer 3

Intel and AMD.

Question 4

How is a processor’s power measured

Answer 4

Its measured by its clock speed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz) where 1 GHz= 1000MHz.

Question 5

What will you have if your clock speed is fast?

Answer 5

Processor speed, model and manufacturer. Processor speed is typically indicated in gigahertz (GHz). The higher the number, the faster the computer.

Question 6

What is the CPU

Answer 6

The Central Processing Unit aka the brains of a computer it does all the computations

Question 7

What is RAM?

Answer 7

Random Access Memory (RAM), This is typically indicated in gigabytes (GB) or megabytes (Mb) . The more RAM in a computer the more it can do simultaneously which includes the speed and then you also are open to more memory. The more RAM you have the more programs you can run at a time

Question 8

Hard disk

Answer 8

Hard disk (sometimes called ROM) space. This is typically indicated in gigabytes (GB) and refers generally to the amount of information (like documents, music and other data) your computer can hold.Info is swapped between main memory and the hard drive.What

Question 9

What are the 3 categories of processors that you can get?

Answer 9

i3, i5, i7, again the larger the number the better it is, even though it said 3 categories technology is advancing so there is more like i9, i10 etc.

Question 10

What is the clock speed of a computer?

Answer 10

A CPU’s clock speed rate is a measure of how many clock cycles a CPU can perform per second. For example, a CPU with a clock rate of 1.8 GHz can perform 1,800,000,000 clock cycles per second.

Question 11

What are some disadvantages of buying a computer with a lot of clock speed and a more elite cpu

Answer 11

The higher the price and shorter the battery life

Question 12

Should the RAM and CPU match

Answer 12

Yes, yes it should

Question 13

What is the Hard Disk

Answer 13

Where the computer saves permanent data (vids,images etc.) the bigger the better, The SSD is faster (program speeds) but yet it’s more expensive

Question 14

GPU

Answer 14

The graphics processing unit, a specialized processor originally designed to accelerate graphics rendering. GPUs can process many pieces of data simultaneously, making them useful for machine learning, video editing, and gaming applications.

Question 15

Screen

Answer 15

For specific things, you may want a screen that’s 13 inches with a high resolution like eg. 1080p

Question 16

Ports

Answer 16

Look for a computer with the specif ports that you may want like flash drives and sd cards etc.

Question 17
