Computer Performance Quiz

What does the clock speed of a processor determine?

• The number of cores in the processor

• The speed of the processor

• The size of the processor

• The type of processor

How is clock speed measured?

• In GHz or MHz

• In GB or MB

• In RPM

• In volts

What is the effect of a faster clock speed on performance?

• Slower processing

• More instructions processed per second

• Less data processed

• Increased power consumption

What is the role of multiple processing cores in a processor?

• To increase the size of the processor

• To process more data simultaneously

• To reduce power consumption

• To decrease the speed of processing

How does cache memory improve performance?

• By slowing down data access

• By buffering data to feed into the slower device

• By increasing the size of the processor

• By reducing the number of cores

What is the function of data buses in a computer?

• To store data permanently

• To connect parts of the motherboard

• To increase the clock speed

• To reduce the number of cores

What happens when a data bus can handle more data?

• The computer runs slower

• The computer runs faster

• The processor size increases

• The number of cores decreases

Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting computer performance?

• Clock speed

• Multiple processing cores

• Cache memory

• Screen size

What is the benefit of having more cores in a processor?

• Increased power consumption

• More data processed simultaneously

• Slower processing speed

• Reduced data handling

Why is cache memory used between faster and slower devices?

• To slow down the faster device

• To buffer data and free up the faster device

• To increase the size of the slower device

• To reduce the number of cores
