Processor | MCQs

Explanation

Hertz (Hz) is the unit used to measure processor speed.

It indicating how many cycles per second the processor can execute.

Modern processors are measured in:

• Megahertz (MHz) - millions of cycles per second
• Gigahertz (GHz) - billions of cycles per second

Explanation

The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is a component of the processor that consists of both the Logic Unit (LU) and the Arithmetic Unit (AU).

It performs arithmetic and logical operations essential for processing data.

Explanation

The control unit of the central processing unit regulates and integrates the operations of the computer.

Explanation

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) executes instructions and performs calculations.

This making it the primary component responsible for processing data in a computer.

Explanation

The Control Unit (CU) is the part of the computer's central processing unit (CPU) that executes instructions.

It retrieves instructions from memory, decodes them, and then carries out the required actions.

The Control Unit manages the flow of data between different parts of the computer, including the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Main Memory.

Explanation

A multi-core processor is an integrated circuit that has two or more processor cores

Explanation

The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor.

It tells the:

computer's memory,

arithmetic/logic unit

and input and output devices

Explanation

Chip multiprocessors also known as: multi-core computing

Explanation
