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