What else can I help you with?
When evaluating CPU performance which feature do you need to consider?
Amount of cache memory, speed of processor, speed of the front side bus
Which factor determines the speed of CPU?
size of the address bus
What are bus speeds?
bus speed is a speed measured in megahertz that is detemines how fast the memory and cpu runs. high-quality memory is required for higher bus speed
Why is it more important to describe the CPU and the motherboard bus using the term frequency rather then speed?
The CPU and the Motherboard bus(called the Frontside Bus) run at 2 different speeds. The Frontside bus runs at the speed that was specified for that particular motherboard and is powered by a crystal that sends electronic pulses over the bus at a steady rate. For instance you're bus speed may be 100MHz. But your CPU speed may be 800Mhz. The reason is that the CPU manufactorer build in a multiplier into the CPU to make it faster. In the example I just gave you, the multiplier is 8x. So 100MHz bus speed times 8 = 800MHz CPU speed. Now if you want to figure out the throughput you multiply the CPU speed (800MHz by 8(8 byes). And you have the throughput of 1600MB or 1.6GHZ. If you bought a PC with these calculations it would be a PC1600. Finally, the reason it is 8 bytes is because motherboard bus these days send data in 64-bit chunks which is 8 bytes.
What CPU speed designation is closest to 1066Mhz?
That would be 1 GHz, though I would not want to attach a CPU of the speed to a bus that fast.
What is the formula for calculating the CPU speed if the Bus speed is known?
I don't know look on google
Explain how bus speed can affect the speed of data?
Bus speed absolutely affects the speed of data transfer within a computer. Here's how: Think of a Bus as a Highway: Imagine the bus as a multi-lane highway that various components in your computer use to exchange information. The wider the lanes (bus width), the more data can be transferred simultaneously. The speed limit on the highway (bus speed) determines how fast that data travels. Impact on Data Transfer: **Faster bus speed:** With a higher speed limit, data packets can travel from one component to another quicker, leading to faster overall system performance. This is especially crucial for components like RAM and the CPU that constantly exchange data. **Slower bus speed:** A slower speed limit creates a bottleneck, restricting the flow of data. Even if you have a powerful CPU, it can't perform at its peak if it's waiting for data from RAM due to a slow bus. It's Not the Only Factor: It's important to remember that bus speed is just one piece of the puzzle. The speed of the individual components (CPU, RAM) and the type of bus (PCIe offers higher speeds than older technologies) also play a significant role. In modern systems, bus speeds are often quite high, and bottlenecks are less likely to occur due to slow data transfer on the bus itself. So, while a faster bus speed can contribute to a snappier system, it's not the only factor to consider for overall data processing speed.
Is the system bus or the CPU faster?
The system bus is usually inside of the CPU, but I guess it depends on the processor and the motherboard. Usually, CPU clock speeds are faster, as they are measured in GHz, while the system bus speed is usually measured in MHz. Hope this helped! SeanHolshouser
What is front side bus speed?
The front side bus connects the CPU on the motherboard to the Northbridge. Front side bus speed is in preference to how much data can move across the bus simultaneously, and is measured in megahertz.
Why do laptop computers use CPU throttling techniques?
to conserve the battery life by reducing the bus speed between the CPU and RAM
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
Components that must use the same front side bus speed?
motherboard and cpu
