There are three factors that affect CPU performance: Clock Speed, Number of Cores, and Cache.Clock Speed is a measurement of how many ______ a CPU can carry out each second. It is measured in ______, however modern CPUs tend to be measured in ______ which represent how many ______ of instructions are processed each second.Some CPUs have multiple cores, or discrete processing units. A CPU with 2 cores is referred to as being ______, however many modern CPUs may have a higher number of cores. Each core contains its own ______ and cache. By using multiple cores, the CPU allows the computer to use ______ processing to improve performance. Some applications do not make use of multiple cores and will not be more performant.Cache is a small amount of fast ______ built into the CPU. It stored ______ ran instructions. It improves performance because it is quicker for the CPU to retrieved instructions from cache than it is from ______.
