QUESTION:  

1. What is the brain of a computer which basically consists of Arithmetical and Logical Unit (ALU), Control Unit and Register Array?

2. What are memory cells built right into the CPU that contain specific data needed by the CPU, particularly the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)?

3. What are the special circuit board that memory chips are soldered?

4. What is the temporary storage for data and programs that are being accessed by the CPU?

5. What is the world's largest chipmaker and founded on July 18, 1968?

6. What chips can retain their contents even when the computer is powered down?

7. Which are designed to alleviate this bottleneck by making the data used most often by the CPU instantly available.

8 - 10 What are the 3 basic components of a CPU?​

ANSWER:

1. CPU

EXPLANATION: CPU is the brain of a computer, containing all the circuitry needed to process input, store data, and output results.

2. Registers

EXPLANATION: These are memory cells built right into the CPU that contain specific data needed by the CPU, particularly the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU). An integral part of the CPU itself, they are managed directly by the compiler that sends information for the CPU to process.

3. Memory module

EXPLANATION: A Memory module or RAM stick is a printed circuit board on which memory integrated circuits are mounted. Memory modules permit easy installation and replacement in electronic systems

4. RAM or Random Access Memory

EXPLANATION: A hardware in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device's processor.

5. Intel Corporation

EXPLANATION: Intel was founded on July 18, 1968 and is also the world's largest chipmaker.

6. ROM or Read Only Memory

EXPLANATION: A type of non-volatile memory which means it keeps its data even if the power is turned off.

7. Cache Memory

EXPLANATION: Are designed to alleviate(or reduce) this bottleneck by making the data that is used most often by the CPU instantly available.

BONUS:  Memory bottleneck = refers to a memory shortage due to insufficient memory, memory leaks, defective programs or when slow memory is used in a fast processor system.

8 - 10:

1. ALU or Arithmetic Logic Unit -  performs the arithmetic and logical functions that are the work of the computer.
2. CU or Control Unit - It directs the operation of the processor and directs the flow of data between the CPU and the other devices.
3. MU or Memory Unit - The primary memory for holding data. It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic/logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to a program's instructions
