Internal Components of PC

What is the primary function of the Central Processing Unit (CPU)?

• To store data permanently

• To execute instructions and process data

• To manage peripheral devices

• To provide temporary memory storage

What does the motherboard do?

• It connects all internal components and allows communication between them

• It stores data permanently

• It provides power to the computer components

• It cools down the computer system

What is the role of the hard disk drive (HDD) in a computer system?

• To process data and execute instructions

• To manage temporary data used by the CPU

• To connect the computer to external networks

• To provide a large amount of permanent storage for data and applications

Which of the following components is used for temporary high-speed data storage and retrieval by the CPU?

• Cache Memory

• SSD

• Hard Disk Drive

• ROM

How does a larger CPU cache improve performance?

• By allowing the CPU to fetch data from slower storage devices

• By reducing the time needed to access frequently used data

• By increasing the clock speed of the processor

• By managing power distribution more efficiently

What is one major advantage of newer generation CPUs over older ones?

• They are optimized for better performance and energy efficiency

• They always have more cores

• They have lower clock speeds but higher cache size

• They use less RAM

What is the significance of Thermal Design Power (TDP) in a CPU or GPU?

• It determines the amount of RAM needed for optimal performance

• It represents the maximum clock speed of the processor

• It indicates the maximum heat a processor can generate under normal workloads, which informs cooling requirements

• It measures the CPU's ability to handle multitasking

How does increasing the amount of RAM benefit a computer system?

• By improving the graphics performance directly

• By increasing storage space for files

• By reducing CPU clock speed

• By allowing more applications to run simultaneously and improving system responsiveness

What is the primary advantage of a dual-core CPU over a single-core CPU?

• It can handle more tasks simultaneously by dividing the workload between two cores

• It consumes less power

• It runs at a higher clock speed

• It requires less cooling than a single-core CPU

What is the primary advantage of a multi-threaded core (e.g., with Hyper-Threading or SMT) compared to a core without threads?

• It increases the core's clock speed

• It allows the core to handle multiple tasks or processes simultaneously

• It reduces the power consumption of the core

• It improves the core's thermal management
