  1. 4. -Tiny, super-fast storage spots inside the CPU. Think of them as the CPU's immediate scratchpad, holding data it needs right now.
  2. 5. -The delay between asking for data and receiving it. Low latency means fast response times. -The fundamental process the CPU repeats endlessly:
  3. 7. -Registers Store numbers that the ALU is currently using for math.
  4. 8. -A hidden program or hardware device that records everything you type on your keyboard, stealing passwords and personal information without you knowing.
  5. 10. -Board A motherboard is the main circuit board inside a computer.
  6. 11. -Central processing unit or processor
  7. 13. -System (OS): The main software that manages all hardware and applications (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux). It’s the bridge between user and hardware.
  8. 14. -How frequent you can do calculations
  9. 17. -Fake emails, texts, or websites that pretend to be from a real company to trick you into revealing passwords or credit card numbers.
  10. 20. -Drive - A device that reads or writes data on discs like CDs or DVDs. Uses optical lens.
  11. 24. -The "calculator" inside the computer brain (CPU). It performs all math (+, -) and logic (comparing if one number is bigger than another).
  12. 25. -stores large amount of data and has a moving dish
  13. 26. -8 bits together
  14. 27. -Stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory
  15. 28. -When computer turned off the data from the Ram is gone
Down
  1. 1. -Sink - A metal piece that removes heat from computer parts to keep them cool.
  2. 2. -A number system using 0 and 1
  3. 3. -The tiny, microscopic switch that makes all computing possible. It can be "on" (1) or "off" (0) to represent digital data.
  4. 6. -Do the action (like add two numbers).
  5. 9. -Card - displays video
  6. 12. -Understand what the instruction means.
  7. 15. -set (northbridge and southbridge)- Chips on the motherboard that help different computer parts communicate.
  8. 16. -The "manager" inside the CPU. It tells the ALU, registers, and other parts how to handle instructions.
  9. 18. -Stores persistent data on solid-state flash memory
  10. 19. -Get the instruction from RAM.
  11. 21. -Registers Store the memory location (in RAM) where data is kept.
  12. 22. -Malicious software that locks you out of your computer or encrypts your files, demanding money to give you access back.
  13. 23. -The smallest unit of data (0 and 1)
  14. 26. -The "highway" or wires that carry data and instructions between the CPU, memory, and other components.
