Document Summary

Compare the total cost of a new machine that will do the same tasks and more. Moore"s law: pace at which cpus improve. Manages flow of information through the computer system. Responsible for processing data you input into info. Composed of 2 units: control unit. Coordinates activities of all the other computer components: arithmetic logic unit (alu) Makes logic and comparison decisions (i. e. comparing items to determine if one is greater than, less than, equal to, or not equal to another) Core: complete processing section from a cpu embedded into the same physical chip. Clock speed: how quickly the processor works. Cache: amount of immediate access memory the cpu has. Cache is a form of ram that gets data to cpu for processing much faster than bringing the data in from the computer"s ram. Front side bus: connects the processor to system memory. Go to task manager to review cpu usage.
