1 of 5
Cores
read and execute CPU instructions such as add, move data and branch.
2 of 5
Cache
used by the CPU to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from memory.
3 of 5
Clock-speed
the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions. Clock-speeds are expressed in megahertz(MHz) or gigahertz(GHz). The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per second.
