Question 1

What is the brains of the computer that executes the different programming codes in the software and firmware.

Answer 1

CPU

Question 2

What processor that was developed by Intel with an 8-bit, 16-bit and up to 32-bit instruction set?

Answer 2

X86 (IA-32)

Question 3

What type of processors supports 64-bit instruction set?

Answer 3

X64

Question 4

What’s the maximum amount of memory X86 processors can support?

Answer 4

4 GB of ram

Question 5

True or false 32 bit systems can run 64 bit programs.

Answer 5

False 32-bit systems can only run 32-bit programs however 64-bit processors can run 32-bit programs because they are backward compatible.

Question 6

What type of processor is used for low power devices like tablet and cell phones?

Answer 6

ARM or Advanced RISC Machine

Question 7

What are the perks of using an arm processor?

Answer 7

It has extended battery life and produces less heat.

Question 8

How does a RISC system complete task?

Answer 8

It uses code to complete task. Which allows a reduced instruction set and lower power consumption.
