1. The amount of electrical power consumed by a CPU under normal operation.
2. The number of independent processing units within a CPU.
3. The rate at which a CPU can execute instructions, measured in cycles per second.
4. A technique used by CPUs to overlap the execution of multiple instructions, improving overall throughput and performance.
5. A technology that allows a CPU to handle multiple threads per core.
6. Slots on a motherboard where memory modules (RAM) can be inserted to provide additional memory for the computer.
7. The number of stages in a CPU's instruction pipeline.
8. A rendering technique to generate realistic images by tracing the path of light rays and simulating their interactions with objects.
9. The primary component of a computer that executes instructions and performs calculations.
10. A small, high-speed memory used to store frequently accessed data and instructions.
11. A type of heatsink with extended metal fins that increase the surface area for better heat dissipation from a CPU or other hot components.
12. Slots on a motherboard where expansion cards, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards, can be inserted to enhance the functionality of the computer.
13. Connectors on a motherboard that provide power to various components, including the CPU, graphics card, and storage devices.
14. The number of simultaneous execution paths a CPU can handle. A higher number of threads can improve multitasking performance.
15. A method of cooling a CPU or other components using a liquid, typically circulating it through tubes and a radiator to dissipate heat more effectively.
