a)
The clock speed
b)
The number of cores
c)
The cache
d)

8.
The area of the CPU which stores regularly used data is known as
a)
The clock speed
b)
The number of cores
c)
The cache
d)
The RAM
9.
The more cache your CPU has…
a)
The less time spent accessing memory, therefore programs run faster
b)
The more time spent accessing memory, therefore programs run slower.
10.
A dual core processor will
a)
Have 2 processors which perform the fetch, decode, execute cycle simultaneously. This makes it twice as fast.
b)
Have 2 processors which perform the fetch, decode, execute cycle simultaneously. This means more instructions can be carried out at once, making it faster.
c)
Have 4 processors which perform the fetch, decode, execute cycle simultaneously. This makes it twice as fast.
d)
Have 4 processors which perform the fetch, decode, execute cycle simultaneously. This means more instructions can be carried out at once, making it faster.
11.
The higher the clock speed…
a)
The greater number of instructions that can be carried out per second.
b)
The lower the number of instructions that can be carried out per second.
c)
The faster your clock will go.
d)
The more cores you will have.
12.
How many fetch-decode-execute cycles would you expect a 2GHz processor to complete per second?
a)
Two hundred (200)
b)
Two thousand (2000)
c)
Two million (2,000,000)
d)
Two billion (2,000,000,000)
13.
How many fetch-decode-execute cycles would you expect a 900MHz processor to complete per second?
a)
900
b)
900000
c)
900000000
d)
2147483647
14.
