What are the 4 main components of the CPU?

Which part of the processor is responsible for managing the fetching, decoding, and executing of program instructions? It controls the flow of data inside the CPU to registers and outside the CPU to RAM.

It performs calculations and logical operations such as AND, OR, NOT.

A very fast type of memory which is used to store recently used data and instructions so that the CPU can access it quickly the next time it is needed. It has very low capacity.

An extremely fast type of temporary storage on the CPU used to store small amounts of data that are needed during processing.

A system where both the instructions and data are stored in memory so that they can be accessed by the CPU is called?

What is the name of the register used to hold the ​address​ of the ​next instruction​ to be executed?

This register stores the results of calculations from the ALU

This register holds the memory address about to be used by the CPU.

This register holds the actual data or instruction which has been fetched from memory or is waiting to be written into memory.

Which of the following is performed at the Fetch phase of the FDE cycle?

Which part of the processor is responsible for decoding an instruction during the decode phase of the FDE?

In which phase of the FDE cycle are instructions such as writing data to memory performed?

Which type of memory is volatile which means it is temporary and requires power to retain its data?

When the main memory is full due to too many applications running at once, or a particularly memory intensive application is being used, it moves data that hasn't been used recently onto secondary storage. The term used to described this process is called?

This type of memory contains all the instructions a computer needs to Boot Up properly.

The number of instructions a processor core can carry out per second, which is measured in Hertz is known as?

Specialised circuits for handling handling graphics and image processing, and help with reducing the workload of the CPU, freeing it up to do other things is known as?

Increasing the amount of RAM in a computer will always increase its performance. True or False?
