Understanding RAM and CPU Basics

What are the main types of RAM?

• Flash RAM

• Read-Only Memory (ROM)

• Static RAM (SRAM), Dynamic RAM (DRAM), Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM)

• Cache Memory

What is the primary function of RAM in a computer?

• To permanently store the operating system files.

• To provide a backup for hard drive data.

• The primary function of RAM in a computer is to provide fast, temporary storage for data and instructions that the CPU needs to access quickly.

• To manage the computer's power supply.

What are the basic components of CPU architecture?

• Memory Management Unit (MMU)

• Cache Memory Unit (CMU)

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU), Registers

• Input/Output Interface (IO)

How does the CPU process instructions?

• The CPU processes instructions using the fetch-decode-execute cycle.

• The CPU processes instructions using a series of random operations.

• The CPU processes instructions by storing them in memory first.

• The CPU processes instructions by executing them in parallel.

What role does cache memory play in CPU performance?

• Cache memory slows down CPU performance by increasing access time.

• Cache memory is used to store data permanently for the CPU.

• Cache memory enhances CPU performance by providing quick access to frequently used data and instructions.

• Cache memory has no impact on CPU performance.
