Which medium used between CPU and ram increases speed of CPU?
graphic card
Which medium used between CPU and ram to speed up the processing power of CPU?
cache
What are the speed of CPU?
The CPU speed, and processor speed is the amount of cycles that a CPU can perform per second.CPU speed is not a good indicator of CPU performance.
What might be used to increase the speed of an existing CPU?
overclocking
What options have an effect on the speed of the communication between the CPU and RAM in a computer?
CPU front side bus RAM clock rate
Why do laptop computers use CPU throttling techniques?
to conserve the battery life by reducing the bus speed between the CPU and RAM
Why is it more accurate to describe the CPU using the term Frequency rather than speed?
Frequency is a quantitative measure of the speed of a CPU. So it's much more specific than the other options of scales of 1 to 10, or slow, medium, and fast.
How is CPU speed calculated?
CPU speed is calculated off of the Front Side Bus (FSB) speed and the CPU Multiplier. Don't confuse HyperTransport (HT) or Quad Data Rate (QDR, aka Quad Pumping) with FSB. HyperTransport and QDR have "replaced" FSB, but they too rely on the FSB. FSB was formerly used as a transport medium for data between the processor, memory and northbridge chipset and is now used more just as a reference clock frequency. FSB * Multiplier = CPU Speed For example, my Sempron 3400+ runs at 2.0 GHz with an 800MHz HyperTransport bus. It runs on a 200 MHz FSB bus and has a multiplier of 10. The HyperTransport multiplier is 4. 200 MHz FSB * 10x Multiplier = 2,000 MHz CPU 200 MHz FSB * 8x HT Multiplier = 800 MHz HyperTransport bus
What is cache and what is its purpose?
Cache is a high speed memory which is basically used for the following reason: As the speed of the main memory is not as much as the speed of the CPU.so just to compensate the speed mistmatch between the CPU and main memory the cache is used in between the two.so whenever the CPU asks for any data its being checked with the cache memory and if present then "cache hit" occurs or else "cache miss" occurs wher the CPU takes the data form the main memory and that data's cpoy is being send to the cache for any further operation where the CPU can request for the same data.

What is the speed for processor fan?
cpu fan speed of 3590 RPM normal(CPU 73c)
What is a program for a processor speed test?
There are lots of programs out there that will help someone perform a processor speed test. Some of these programs include; CPU Speed Professional, CPU Speed Pro Software, and CPU Speed Test Software.
What is the temporary high-speed holding area between a secondary storagedevice and the CPU?
Disk Caching
