Question 1: What does clock speed measure in a CPU?
The physical size of the CPU
The number of tasks a CPU can handle
The speed at which a CPU can process instructions
The amount of power the CPU consumes
Question 2: How does cache size affect CPU performance?
Larger cache allows for more data to be stored for quick access
Cache size has no impact on performance
Smaller cache increases CPU efficiency
Cache size only affects gaming performance
Question 3: Why might a CPU with multiple cores perform better than a single-core CPU?
Multiple cores allow for simultaneous task processing
Single-core CPUs are always faster
Cores only affect graphics performance
More cores decrease power consumption
Question 4: What is a common misconception about clock speed?
Higher clock speed always means better performance
Clock speed is irrelevant to CPU performance
Clock speed only affects gaming
All CPUs have the same clock speed
Question 5: In a scenario where a CPU has high clock speed but low cache size, what might be a consequence?
Increased performance due to faster processing
Frequent delays in accessing data
Reduced power consumption
Better multitasking abilities
