CPU terms

Question 1

Hyperthreading

Answer 1

makes multitasking on your system much easier, allowing two or more processes to run using the same resources. It is good for tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and heavy multi-tasking.

Question 2

Overclocking

Answer 2

simply means that the CPU is running at a speed greater than the rate at which it was built to run. Without cooling, it increases the risk of thermal damage.

Question 3

Multicore technology

Answer 3

is where a single physical processor contains the core logic of two or more processors. It runs on lower frequency as compared to the single processing unit, which reduces the power dissipation or temperature.

Question 4

Virtualization

Answer 4

enables a CPU to act as if you have several independent computers, to enable several operating systems to run at the same time on the same machine.
