What does the CPU do with data?

• The CPU stores data permanently.

• The CPU displays data on the screen.

• The CPU generates random data.

• The CPU processes data by executing instructions.

How does the CPU affect a computer's speed?

• The CPU has no impact on a computer's speed.

• The CPU only affects the graphics performance of a computer.

• The CPU's speed is irrelevant to the overall system performance.

• The CPU affects a computer's speed by determining how quickly it can process instructions and perform calculations.

What are the two main components of a CPU?

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Control Unit (CU)

• Storage Unit (SU) and Output Unit (OU)

• Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and Cache Unit (CU)

• Memory Unit (MU) and Input Unit (IU)

What is the role of the CPU in a computer system?

• The CPU processes instructions and manages data flow in a computer system.

• The CPU connects all peripheral devices to the computer.

• The CPU is responsible for managing the power supply.

• The CPU stores data permanently in memory.

How does the CPU communicate with other parts of the computer?

• The CPU relies solely on software for communication.

• The CPU uses only direct connections to peripherals.

• The CPU communicates with other parts of the computer via buses (data, address, and control) and cache memory.

• The CPU communicates through wireless signals.

What is the difference between a CPU and a GPU?

• The CPU is faster than the GPU for all tasks.

• The CPU and GPU perform the same functions with equal efficiency.

• The CPU is for general processing, while the GPU is specialized for parallel processing and graphics rendering.

• The GPU is used for general processing, while the CPU is for graphics rendering.

Why is the CPU often called the 'brain' of the computer?

• The CPU is mainly used for graphics processing.

• The CPU manages the physical hardware of the computer.

• The CPU is called the 'brain' of the computer because it processes information and controls all operations.

• The CPU is responsible for storing data permanently.
