Clock speed,cache size,number of cores and size of RAM 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 6 of 9 How does the size of RAM affect the CPU performance? You can store more 7 of 9 What is an embedded system? An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system 8 of 9 Examples of embedded systems printers,phones,calcualtors 9 of 9
