Introduction to Computer 2

A multi-core processor is an integrated circuit (IC) to which two or more processors have been attached for enhanced performance,

• True

• False

Dual core is a CPU that has three distinct processors that work simultaneously in the same integrated circuit.

• True

• False

A quad-core CPU has four processing cores in a single chip. It is similar to a dual-core CPU, but has four separate processors (rather than two), which can process instructions at the same time.

• True

• False

is the component of the processor that directs and coordinates most of the operations in the computer

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

• Control Unit

• Processor

performs arithmetic, comparison, and other operations

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

• Control Unit

• Processor

controls the timing of all computer operations.

• Gigahertz

• Data Representation

• System Clock

Most computers are digital and the computer can only understand machine language and does not recognize letters as letters of the alphabet

D____ R__________

it sees the letters as a series of 0’s and 1’s called the ______ language

_______ uses two unique digits (0 and 1).

o Bits and bytes

• Binary Language

• Binary System

• Data representation

consists of electronic components that store instructions waiting to be executed by the processor, data needed by those instructions, and the results of processing the data.
