Parts of Computer and Specification
A ____________ is the brain of a computer, responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
A _________ is a smaller, faster memory located close to a processor core.
Cache
This stores copies of data from frequently used main memory locations.
Cache
This performs arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (0 and 1).
Arithmetic
This unit directs the data flow and operation to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (O/I)
Control Unit
Mouse and Keyboard are considered as?
Output
This is any computer equipment that converts any electronically generated information.
Output
This is the unit used to measure the speed or frequency of a CPU.
Hertz
He is a German Physicist (1887) who was named after the unit used to measure the speed or frequency of a CPU.
Heinrich Hertz
Hertz (Hz) is equal to ______ cycle per second.
One cycle per second
A ___________ consists of two or more processing units.
Multicore Processor
This type of processor has the advantage of running several instructions at the same time.
Multicore Processor
What is the minimum GHz and GB RAM of a good computer?
3 GHz and 8GB RAM
Aside from GHz and GB RAM, what are the other specifications of a good computer (minimum)?
