1. A dedicated type of memory used by GPUs to store and access data related to graphics processing.
2. The ability of GPUs to perform multiple computations simultaneously, greatly increasing their processing power and efficiency.
3. A list of all the instructions that a CPU can execute.
4. The primary component of a computer that executes instructions and performs calculations.
5. 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.
6. A type of heatsink with extended metal fins that increase the surface area for better heat dissipation from a CPU or other hot components.
7. A small, high-speed memory used to store frequently accessed data and instructions.
8. Increasing the operating frequency of a CPU beyond its default specifications to achieve higher performance, often requiring improved cooling solutions.
9. A substance applied between a CPU and a heatsink to enhance thermal conductivity.
10. The physical size and shape of a motherboard, which determines its compatibility with computer cases and other hardware components.
11. A technique used by CPUs to improve instruction throughput by overlapping the execution of multiple instructions.
12. A CPU architecture that includes multiple independent processing cores on a single chip.
13. The specific type of memory used by GPUs to store and retrieve data required for video processing and rendering.
14. A rendering technique to generate realistic images by tracing the path of light rays and simulating their interactions with objects.
15. 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.
16. A device used to dissipate heat away from a component, such as a CPU, by increasing its surface area.
17. The rate at which a CPU can execute instructions, measured in cycles per second.
18. A device that converts electrical power from a source to a format that can be used by a computer or electronic device.
