The CPU can run faster than normal due to overclocking, where the clock speed is increased beyond the manufacturer's recommended limits. This can be done manually by users seeking higher performance, but it can also lead to overheating and reduce the lifespan of the CPU. High demand tasks or applications can also make the CPU run at its maximum speed for extended periods.

How much faster is the CPU speed in 2002 than in 200?

In 2002, CPUs were generally about 4-6 times faster than in 2000. This increase in speed was largely due to advancements in processor architecture and fabrication technology that allowed for faster clock speeds and more efficient processing.


Where data is stored in CPU?

No data is stored in the CPU. The CPU only performs arithmetic and logical operations. However, the CPU is provided with a small memory unit called cache, which rapidly feeds the CPU with data to calculate.


Which definition describes the Term overclocking?

Overclocking refers to the practice of increasing a computer's CPU or GPU clock rate to run at a faster speed than originally intended by the manufacturer. This can potentially improve performance, but may also increase heat generation and reduce hardware lifespan if not done carefully.


A million machine cycles per second is?

A million machine cycles per second is equivalent to 1 MHz (megahertz). This measurement is commonly used to quantify the processing speed or clock speed of a computer's central processing unit (CPU). A higher MHz value generally indicates a faster CPU.


How is the speed of current CPUs rated?

CPU's are now are rated in Ghz which means "Billions of Cycles per Second" Essentially, the more Ghz the processor has, the faster it will execute instructions. Older computers where rated in mhz which is a million cycles per second. For example, a 2.4 ghz processor is the same as 2400 mhz CPU, or a 500 mhz CPU is the same as a .5 ghz CPU. Single core vs. Dual Core vs. quad core ect, A core is what carries out the instructions. two cores doesn't necessarily mean that the processor will have twice the ghz, but twice the power if the program can take advantage of them.

What causes a CPU to run faster than normal and can cause the CPU to overheat?

You can customize your computer in a process called "overclocking" whereby you make certain BIOS and/or hardware changes to increase CPU voltage/current settings, or timer latch settings, and this will make the CPU "clock" faster. When a CPU runs more cycles per second, it also consumes more power per second, meaning that it also dissipates more power as heat per second, increasing its temperature. If this is not properly managed, the CPU could overheat, which can permanently damage it.


What is a measurement of frequency of a system bus and CPU. which is faster the system bus or CPU?

CPU operates from 166 MHz to more than 3 GHz system can operate from 133 MHz to 400 MHz. CPU is faster than the system bus

Is LGA faster than a PGA?

Basically, neither of them is faster. the speed depends on the CPU design. the faster the frequency, the faster the processing speed.:-D


What is faster CPU or system bus?

I suppose you mean "CPU" The system bus is typically set at a vastly lower frequency than the CPU. They handle different things, so comparing them to each other for "speed" isn't really possible. This is similar to asking if the speed of a plane is higher than the hardness of a rock.

Why when playing a PlayStation emulator would the game speed be much faster than normal?

Because it isn't perfect. Emulators require a 3x faster CPU then the actual CPU int he playstation. Its all about the code and not everything is emulated perfect. Buy the game nad play it on a playstation.answerIt's because your PC or your configYou can change config to make a better game


What is the function of CPU cache?

Many CPUs have what is known as a CPU cache. The function of this CPU cache is to speed up access to data.


What are Limitations of cache?

size. cache memory is situated on the CPU, and stores recently used data, in case the CPU needs again soon. cache memory is many, many times faster than RAM, just RAM is much faster than the HD.


Why is it more accurate to describe the CPU and motherboard bus using the term frequency rather than the speed?

The faster the CPU can push data around the motherboard is mesured as a frequency
