1 of 9
How does the clock speed affect CPU performance?
The speed at which the processor can execute instructions. The faster the clock, the more instructions the processor can complete per second.
2 of 9
How does the cache size affect CPU performance?
The larger the cache size, the faster the data transfer and the better the CPU performance
3 of 9
How do you increase the clock speed of the CPU?
Overclocking
4 of 9
What is overclocking?
If the clock is faster then the CPU can perform more calculations
5 of 9
How does the number of cores affect CPU performance?
The more cores you have means you can multitask and do things faster
