  • Define and describe CPU
    Central Processing Unit, the brain of a computer
  • True or False: Any processor can run any application
    False - 32-bit processors cannot run 64-bit applications, but 64-bit processors can run both
  • Define and describe RISC
    Reduced Instruction Set Computer, uses optimized and smaller codesets to run functions
  • Define and describe ARM
    Advanced RISC Machine, is a CPU architecture designed for smaller devices like mobile or IoT
  • What is important about a CPU having multiple cores?
    Each core has its own cache allowing it to operate independently, some CPUs have a shared cache for all cores
  • What is Multithreading?
    When one CPU core acts like 2, multithreading does not double performance but increases it 15-30%
