Processors 
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit 
Does 3 basic tasks inside a computer 
• Can perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, 
multiplication and division. 
• A microprocessor can move data from one memory location to 
another. 
• A microprocessor can make decisions and jump to a new set of 
instructions based on those decisions. 
Lecturer: Owen Funnell
Processors (Page 21) 
Lecturer: Owen Funnell 
Runs constantly in a cycle called the fetch-execute cycle 
Fetch 
Decode 
Execute 
The first step the CPU carries out is to fetch 
some data from main memory and store it in its 
own internal memory cache. This is the ‘fetch’ 
part of the cycle. 
The next step is for the CPU to make sense of 
the data its just fetched. This process is called 
‘decode’ The decoded data is known as an 
instruction. Its tell the processor to do 
something 
The next part of the cycle is when processing 
actually takes place. The instruction is carried 
out or ‘executed’ 
Once a instruction is executed the processer 
set itself up to do another cycle.
Processors 
Processors are measured in Hertz 
Lecturer: Owen Funnell 
The clock speed is measured in hertz (Hz) and is 
how many fetch-execute cycles the processor can 
preform per second. 
A clock speed of 500Hz would mean 500 cycles per 
second. A 3GHz processor can complete 3 billion 
cycles every second. 
Faster clock speed = more calculations = faster 
computer
Processors – Bottlenecks and Cache (Page 22) 
We use cache memory because the CPU needs fast access to data. If we were to 
use system memory the system would ‘bottleneck’ and be too slow. Think of it as 
a 4 lane motorway that suddenly changes to a single lane. The car would need to 
slow 
Lecturer: Owen Funnell
Processors – Bottlenecks and Cache (Page 23) 
Lecturer: Owen Funnell 
Cache Memory 
There are 3 levels of Cache Memory 
L1 cache 
L2 cache 
L3 cache 
Level 1 
Level 2 
Level 3 
The number referrers to how close each of these is to the CPU 
Level 1 L1 cache is located on the CPU itself and run as the 
same speed as the CPU, but it has a low capacity 
Level 2 L2 cache is located on the CPU module and run just 
slower then the speed as the CPU, but it has large capacity 
Level 3 L3 cache is located on the motherboard and runs a 
lot slower then the speed as the CPU, but it has the largest 
capacity of any level
Processors – Bottlenecks and Cache (Page 24) 
Clock speeds of processors are reaching the limit, we cannot get any 
more speed from them without generating a lot of heat. 
We can have processors with more then 1 core. A core being the CPU. A 
duel-core CPU has 2 cores working together. These processors will share 
a cache 
Both CPU’s can perform fetch-execute cycle speeding up time 
32 or 64bits 
There are 2 types of processor 32 and 64 bit. The number indicates how 
big a ‘chuck’ of data they can process at a time. 
64-bit processors can process bigger chucks of data at a time, making 
them quick
