When using the word "Wide" For a PROCESSOR.. what is that referring to?

• How long the receiver is

• • How much data can:

    • Move into, Out of, and through the chip per clock cycle

• How wide the processor is in inches

• How much data the processor can hold over time

What does the ALU do?

(Arithmetic Logic Units)

• ALUs hold more memory for the processor

• Numbers are transferred from memory into the ALU for calculation, and the results are sent back into memory

• ALUs provide the information needed for the processor to provide a clear image on the screen

• ALUs are a place to hold extra heat in the processor

What does the HT (Hyper-Threading) do?

• Allows a single processor to handle two sets of instructions at the same time

• Holds the BIOS from the processor to communicate

• Memory built into the microprocessor or motherboard.

• Makes the Images on your screen prosses at a faster rate
