  1. 1. The Heat Sink pulls heat ___ from the cpu.
  2. 3. speed measured in hertz (Hz), indicates how many cycles per second the clock operates, directly influencing the processor's performance.
  3. 4. the central unit that processes instructions in computers.
  4. 5. high-speed storage system that temporarily holds frequently accessed data to speed up subsequent retrievals
  5. 9. the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer, serving as the central communications backbone that connects and allows communication between various components such as the central processing unit (CPU), memory, and peripheral devices.
  6. 11. All characters in all languages are stored as this
  7. 12. This costs business 1.5 billion dollars in 2025,
  8. 14. a digital circuit within a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary numbers.
  9. 15. the smallest unit of data in computing, representing a binary value of 0 or 1.

  1. 2. A software program designed to perform specific tasks for users.
  2. 3. a timing device that generates regular pulses to synchronize the operations of a computer's components, ensuring they work in harmony.
  3. 6. unit The part of the CPU that fetches code (2 words)
  4. 7. data storage device that uses mechanical platters and a moving read/write head to access data. It offers high storage capacities at a lower cost per gigabyte compared to solid-state drives (SSDs). (3 letter word)
  5. 8. a unit of frequency equal to one billion hertz (cycles per second). In computing, it commonly measures the clock speed of processors, indicating how many cycles a CPU can perform per second.
  6. 10. a computer component that temporarily stores data and instructions for quick access by the CPU, enhancing system performance.
  7. 13. electronic devices that perform basic logical functions on binary inputs, producing a single binary output.
