How does the system bus contribute to the overall system performance?
Your data busses sends information from component to component i.e. your FSB (front side bus)/system bus/internal bus communicates between your CPU and RAM, the faster it runs, the faster information is moved between your RAM and CPU giving your CPU quicker access to that data.
What carries the data and programs that move between the CPU and ram?
In Intel systems- the Front Side Bus In AMD systems- Hyper Transport
What is used to connect the CPU directly to RAM?
The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is interfaced to the random access memory (RAM) via the front side bus (FSB). Additionally the Northbridge is/can also be interfaced with the CPU through FSBs.
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
What chip helps the CPU to work with the RAM?
The northbridge chip. The northbridge connects to the CPU through the front-side bus (FSB) and connects to the RAM through the memory bus.
Which chip enables the CPU to interact with RAM?
Both the CPU and the memory (RAM) are connected to a massive circuit board called the motherboard. Internationally it is sometimes called a mainboard.The motherboard is made up of layers and groups of copper wires that are used to transmit information. One group of these wires will be dedicated to a task. For example, there is a group dedicated to moving information from RAM to the CPU. We call each group a bus.Buses are the reason why the metaphor of a "data highway" is sometimes used. There are many types and sizes of buses used for different needs. Memory access has one kind, disk access has another kind.Depending on the type of CPU and type of RAM you will have a unique bus design that allows the CPU to communicate with the RAM.This is why RAM for new computers has more pins (bigger bus) and a higher bus speed than RAM for old computers.
In most computers what is the same as bus width?
The speed of system random-access memory is determined by two factors: bus width and bus speed. Bus width refers to how many bits of information RAM can send to the CPU at the same time.
What two primary types of bus lines on the motherboard run between the CPU and the RAM sockets?
The two primary types of bus lines on the motherboard that run between the CPU and the RAM sockets are the address bus and the data bus. The address bus is responsible for carrying the addresses of the data being accessed, allowing the CPU to specify which memory location it wants to read from or write to. The data bus, on the other hand, transfers the actual data between the CPU and the RAM. Together, these buses facilitate communication and data exchange between these critical components.
Why do laptop computers use CPU throttling techniques?
to conserve the battery life by reducing the bus speed between the CPU and RAM
A temporary storage area attached to the CPU for operation is a?
RAM (random access memory)
What 4 types of buses are likely to be on a motherboard today?
Address Bus - Transmits memory addresses between the CPU and RAM.Data Bus - The bus that transfers data between CPU and RAM. Expansion Bus - The bus to which add-on adapter cards are connected in order to enhance the functionality on the PC. Video - The bus that transmits display information between the CPU and video circuitry.
What is the interaction of ROM and RAM with CPU?
ROM (Read-Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory) interact with the CPU by providing different types of data storage. ROM contains permanent instructions essential for booting the system, while RAM provides temporary storage for data and programs that the CPU actively uses during operation. The CPU retrieves instructions and data from RAM for processing, and it may access ROM for essential firmware instructions if needed. This collaboration ensures that the CPU can execute tasks efficiently by utilizing the fast access speed of RAM and the stable data provided by ROM.
