What are the two types of CPU architecture? - answer32-bit, or 64-bit
How much can 32-bit processors store? - answer2^32 values/ 4GB
How much can 64-bit processors store? - answer2^64 values/ 17 billion GB
What is another way 32-bit is written? - answerx86
Where can you find 32-bit apps vs 64-bit apps? - answer32-bit: \Program Files (x86)
64-bit: \Program Files
What is important to know when installing hardware drivers? - answer Hardware drivers
are specific to the OS versions (32-bit / 64-bit)
What can a 64-bit OS do with apps that a 32-bit OS can't? - answer64-bit OS can run
both 64-bit apps and 32-bit apps.
What is ARM? - answerAdvanced RISC Machine
A CPU architecture commonly used for mobile devices or IoT because of its efficient
processing, less power usage, and creating less heat.
What is a processor core? - answera unit on the processor with the circuitry necessary
to execute instructions and come in dual-core, quad-core, octa-core and multi-core.
What is CPU cache memory? - answera smaller and faster kind of memory located on
the CPU that stores copies of data that has been frequently used to speed up
processing time.
What are the different kinds of cache on a CPU? - answerL1, L2, and L3
What is Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT)? - answerHyper-threading enables a single
processor core to be used for two or more executions that can improve performance by
15%-30%
What kind of Windows OS do you need to support HTT? - answerWindows XP and later
