CPU Architecture and Functionality

This video tutorial provides an overview of the CPU, explaining its purpose and how it processes data using the fetch-decode-execute cycle. It also covers factors affecting CPU speed, including clock speed, number of cores, and cache size. The tutorial aims to help viewers understand the CPU's role in a computer system and the elements that influence its performance.

What is the primary function of the CPU?

• To store data

• To display graphics

• To manage network connections

• To process data

Which cycle does the CPU follow to process data?

• Load-Store-Execute

• Fetch-Decode-Execute

• Fetch-Store-Execute

• Load-Decode-Execute

What is the first step in the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle?

• Store

• Fetch

• Execute

• Decode

Where does the CPU first request data from?

• Network

• Cache

• Hard drive

• RAM

If data is not found in the cache, where does the CPU request it from next?

• Hard drive

• GPU

• RAM

• Network

What does the clock speed of a CPU determine?

• The size of the CPU

• The frequency of instructions executed per second

• The amount of cache

• The number of cores

How many instructions can a dual-core processor handle at one time?

• Four

• Three

• Two

• One

What is the benefit of having more cache in a CPU?

• Larger storage capacity

• Faster data processing

• Better graphics performance

• Improved network speed

Where is cache memory located?

• On the hard drive

• On the RAM

• Directly on the CPU

• On the motherboard

Why is cache faster than RAM?

• It is more expensive

• It uses a different technology

• It is closer to the CPU

• It is larger in size
