What does CPU stand for?

• Central Processing Unit
• Computer Protocol User
• Cool Pokemon Unit
• Computer Processing Unit

Which of these is not a step in the FDE cycle?

• Instructions are fetched from main memory
• Instructions are decoded in the control unit
• The decoded instruction is executed
• The ALU decodes the instructions

Clock speed measures what?

• Speed at which instructions are fetched from main memory
• Time taken to perform a single Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle
• Number of Fetch-Decode-Execute cycles that can be completed in 1 sec
• Speed at which instructions are decoded 

What is the purpose of the memory address register?

• It memorises everything
• It keeps track of the instructions
• It holds the instructions to be carried out by the CPU
• It allows you to input something

What is the purpose of the Memory Data Register (MDR)?

• Holds the location of where the data is to be stored / read from
• Holds memory
• Holds instructions
